I use it for study group sessions for my Master's cohort. We are kind of spread out, so it's the most convenient way to "meet". I also use it to contact my collaborators on various projects, and they are in various parts of the world. I don't pay anything. The only problem with Skype is that for the kind of use that I do, we all need to be online with Skype on at the same time to connect. My parents are 17 time zones away, and they don't sit by the computer all the time. I have a Magic Jack for calling them. It's freakin' dirt cheap (around $60 for two years, unlimited calls to N. America) and the call quality is superb.
