Just called my friend in Holland using Skype to land line for the first time. We talked for a tad
over 15 minutes. Total cost was $0.42. Very clear - as clear as the telephone.
Skype on a land line???
Didn't know you could do that...
To a POTS phone? I bet the picture quality sucks ;-)
I suppose they could do voice only pretty easy.
What is POTS? The call was made to his home telephone number. He answers and talks through the
phone, as normal, and I talk through the computer microphone. No video. Sound was fantastic though,
clear as a bell.
Calling Netherlands land line is 2.3 cents/min. Cellphone is 8 cents/min. Cox charges $3.41 per
minute for land line or wireless calls, without a calling plan. With the plan the charge is 9
cents/minute. Skype is the way to go.
