    Free to other people with Skype.

    You can make calls to normal phones, but you do have to pay for that.

    You still have to pay for landline/mobile calls but it is a hell of a lot cheaper.

    why not just use voice messaging on MSN, or AIM, or whatever?

    It was designed for them, with IM as an extra. Rather than vice versa.

    Fair enough, but what is it that actually makes it better?

    it works on port 80 and 443 unlike msn which is 4664 iirc. means that there's not network port throttling for it and the voice calls are much higher quality.

    I use it to talk to beth, maite, callie (texas), richy, chasewai and several others
