RH,

I have to admit that I use skype, the main reason is that it will get
through a university firewall that blocks voipcheap. As my daughter is
no longer in halls I could go back to voipcheap, but skype is easy to
support; well it just appears to work.

I've just brought a router that supports voip, but at the moment I
can't be bothered to set it up as I've other things that are more
important; I will get around to it sometime - honestly.

I'm not worried about the security aspect of skype as we don't talk
about anything confidential on skype. However, in reality what are the
chances of my conversation being interceted by somebody who could
capture the concersation and then use the information; not high I
suspect.

I thought that your response was a good one, people use skype, because
it's easy and a lot of other people use it and most of them won't know
or care who owns skype.
