Skype should start to offer open interfaces such as SIP or IAX. Only then it will be a real competitor to Vonage. As the previous posters have pointed out you need to have your computer up and running in order to use Skype.

Using Skype at the moment and beyond irritated with its bogus Caller ID nonsense ... I know they could fix this if they tried. I also don’t like that my PC has to be on 24/7. Seriously considering Vonage for those reasons.

If eBay has bought Skype ... all the more reason NOT to use it IMHO.

I will probably continue to use Skype’s free stuff .... but pay for a decent phone service from Vonage.
