Skype has been installed on my home computer. However various attempts have failed to record my message after installation. I will need to investigate the audiorecording settings as instructed.
I have a friend who is travelling in Argentina for a year. We were originally very keen to use this system to keep in touch. However due to her constant moving around and the lack of wireless in some locations this has not eventuated yet. The convenience of being free from computer to computer is offset by the, sometime considerable, time difference when calling overseas.
In the coming days I'll try to contact relatives abroad, by going to their computer account rather than the land or mobile lines. I read in Julia's blog that she uses the system for her overseas contact.
According to Paul Budde's article this kind of applications are not a real challenge to the big telcos. However he forecast increasing use by business for videoconferencing purposes.

Yes, I think it's still a bit unreliable so until the technology gets better it won't be all that useful.
