Internet phone service provider Skype plans to start charging U.S. and Canadian users $30 per year for unlimited calls to regular phones in both countries, as the end of a free trial offer looms.
Users who sign up before January 31, 2007, will receive a special rate of $15 per year and 100 free minutes of international calling, Skype said on Wednesday. Any user wishing to continue using Skype to make calls to regular phones or mobile handsets after the free trial expires December 31, but does not want a yearly plan, can pay for SkypeOut at a rate of 2.1 cents per minute for calls within the U.S. and Canada. Computer-to-computer calls using Skype software will remain free.

I'm sure Skype/Ebay can find out a-way on how to do this so they make money but its still free for Skype users???.
-no not talking about Pop-ups.. Talking about a Video Window in the Dial Pad area that will play an ad just as you press Dial/send and once the 30-60 sec ad stops playing Skype dials out. and when geting a call Skype plays an ad when you press Answer and once that ad ends your connected to the Caller who called you.
damnit.
Ya, because you can't afford 2.1 cents a minute to do it.
Cheapskate.
