I just bought a regular home phone earlier today. Bye Skype, it was(n’t) fun. I ended up using my cell phone 100% of the time in the end, because Skype gave me crapshit quality 99% of the time, and it was a major pain to keep the computer running just in case someone wanted to call. It was neat to have a US phone number, and if anybody wants to call me, I will have that number for awhile longer, so just lemme know and I’ll turn it on for you, but otherwise, I’m done with it all at least for now.
Once I move to Japan that might change. I might reenable my phone number and all that stuff, so people in Sweden can call me still, like mom.
When running skype for winblows I had no problems at all, or it was a period for like three days when the over all quality sucked ass, but that got fixed. Skype for linux sucks big time though.
Oh I totally gave up on it in linux a loooooooooooooooong time ago. What I gave up on now was the Windows version. I’d literally been using my lap top as a clunky telephone.
