Been using Skype since it started/launched a few years ago and calling a landline is not free. If you want to call a U.S. number then you need to buy Skype credits. Skype rates are little bit higher than what others has to offer say like Yahoo voice. Now I am using Onesuite.com both as a prepaid calling card and voip service. Pc to pc calls are free just like Skype but rates to U.S. and other countries are cheaper. Please don't post misleading information.
