http://www.bostongeek.com [ BostonGeek] The folks at Skype have recently announced that SkypeOut (the service that allows you to call a non-Skype phone number from Skype) will be free for all calls from the U.S. and Canada to the U.S. and Canada. The detection software they use to determine if you are indeed located within the U.S. or Canada is not perfect, and some people are reporting problems when trying to use the service, but they are quickly responding to any issues people are having.
