I may be missing something here but, please correct me if so:

Isn't Skype to skype across national borders or even local ISP providers
free as it is essentially a global system. I thought that most other VOIP
providers made a charge of some sort, if not in their own domain, then to
other ISP providers and to foreign countries.

That may be quite a big difference.
