I though skype was only for verizon customers? glad you got it working though, will it work on GSM phones as well? My friend wanted the CAB but when i told him it was only for verizon he didnt want to try it in case it might mess up the phone.

I'm pretty sure that only affects us Android users

don't worry though! Skype is working to release a new Skype application for android by the end of the year that will work on all carriers! much luck for old school WM user

You can buy a subscription from skype and call regular phones (landlines/mobile) also - that wouldn't use your anytime minutes - instead, it would use your data plan.

Why not use google voice?. Get pick 3 or call home, add google voice number and and all incoming calls to google voice and outgoing (through google voice) are free (usa & canada)

No reason why not... that's a great option. deadwrong03 had asked what skype could be used for, so I mentioned this.
On a sidenote, Sprint no longer seems to offer pick3 (at least that is their official stand - some users seem to get it, but I haven't been able to) - so that GV option doesn't really save me any minutes. For the folks who already have pick3 or callhome option, GV is a neat option.
