So a few years ago, I switched from a landline to Vonage. $24.99 for unlimited long distance sounded like a good deal, and it probably was for awhile. But since the advent of Skype's unlimited calling plan for $29.95 a year, paying an extra $300 for another phone number just seemed silly. $300 vs $30. Seems pretty simple.
All of this to say that I got bored enough to write a Skype calculator. If you're not familiar, you can call phone numbers in the United States and Canada for 2.1 cents per minute (plus a connection charge) with Skypeout. Or you can pay the $29.95 for the annual subscription. I wrote the calculator to make it easier to determine which would be cheaper for you.
Try it out, and let me know what you think.

This place claims you can call skype users for free as well. You can check this out at

If you are blind and signing up it has that stupid word cap thingy but a friend said he contacted them and they set up the account for him. I think if enough of us do this they'll put a audio verification in place. At least one can only hope.
