Take a deep breath.......
Throw away the handset
Skype Pro has launched. Unlimited toll calls to landlines for about $NZ3.40 a month (10 Euro for 5 months) using Skype. Just checking it out now
UPDATE....Ok its awesome over Paradise Cable...just tested calling the folks....no lag at all...so I can now talk from my laptop and not have to hold a phone to my ear. Super convenient, super cheap for calling grandma in Nelson and friends in Auckland.
So for those of you that pay $5 a month for unlimited calls to a friend that doesn't have a broadband computer, its now cheaper using skype and quite possibly a whole lot easier if you have a microphone in your laptop.
For business tolls this is insanely cheap. Anyone offering outbound national phone support around NZ, your bills just got a whole lot cheaper.
So the only thing NZ is missing now is local Skype numbers and unlimited rates to cell phones from Skype and of course 111 dialing...anyone know why that is?

Skype Pro is a really a great decision of making cheap calls. The sound quality is at least as good as a normal phone call if you use the speakers/microphone combination, and excellent if you use a headset.But if you do not have internet connection, it is impossible to make cheap calls, and in such situations I usually use 0800 numbers freephone calls which is free to call from landlines and will speed up the claims process. In most cases, customers will need to have only one conversation with an adviser to make their benefit claim, so benefits will be received more quickly.
