“And of course, like its complete lack of real-time customer service, Skype has no “report this user” function. So, you Skypers are on your own.”, Jim Higdon, “What’s the Deal with Skype Spam?”
Having my weekly dose of Skype Spam, I looked for a “report this user” button. Not satisfied with the Block button, I thought to myself, why?
I think it is: pissed off at being harassed by that person, I want justice (maybe revenge).
“Sorry, I can’t hear you”
Skype on Linux on my ThinkPad T42p running Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) works great for Skype to Skype, but every call to an “ordinary phone” ends when it begins with the person on the other end telling me they can’t hear me.
“Can you hear me know?”
SkypeOut on Windows works well, though I did have to adjust up the microphone and headset volume a little the first time. I dislike being forced to use Microsoft Windows, but there does not currently seem to be a Linux alternative.
There is an unlimited calling offer to Canada and USA special for $15.00 US for the year ending tomorrow which I have just signed up for. Last year it was a free promotion likely triggered by being acquired by Ebay.
