Skype UNLIMITED = Not so much...


I love using Skype for video conferencing. I also use Tokbox for multiple user conferencing, but the quality and ease of use of Skype is still unmatched.

For dialing phones I rarely use Skype, but I have been a Skype Unlimited customer for years. On Tuesday I had a four-hour long meeting & I decided to use Skype Unlimited to avoid tying up my phone line. I kept getting disconnected from the conference and finally I couldn't call back and I was surprised to receive the message above!

Funny enough the day after this happened Google released Gmail Voice Dialing and Texting.. and damn is it awesome! I love competition... Although I still love Skype this is a great feature and yet another reason Gmail is the best webmail client on the planet.



Oh by the way, it was nice of Silicon Alley Insider to try and hide their friends private information.. but come on, really? Ever heard of Microsoft Paint? Here I did a better job for you :-)
