re: skype cheaper than engin....think again Skype video is here already. I've used it to phone the UK. Also, check out www.voipcheap.co.uk It's free to the UK, USA and many other countries. That's as cheap as you will get! That is to say, free to ring computers AND fixed phones. I've rung a UK phone for free! Computer to computer is the best quality but computer to phone is acceptable.
