Has anyone used Skype and if so what are your views?

Thanks

Fundamentally different products, dixons is a box you plug your land line phone into, skype is a softphone.

I've got a vonage account which is similar to dixons, but with a lower startup fee and a monthly charge (wheras dixons are frontloading the cost). Vonage works well, is a doddle to set up if you don't already have a router, or if you are prepared to plug your router into their router. You get a landline like phone number and can point virtual numbers to it also (also because they allocate a traditional number to it, you can point virtual numbers 0845 and the like to it).
