Google Voice vs Skype
So Google wants everyone to get addicted to "Google Voice", their new feature that allows users to call US & Canada numbers free and international at a low price per minute rate. They're even thinking of installing it in phone booths!
So what is the difference with Google Voice and Skype? Well, Skype has been around for a while now, they also offer free Skype to Skype calling and for just around $2 you can have free calls to the US & Canada as well.
As far as features, I would say Skype has a bit more too offer, but I'd like to know what the readers think, have you tried out Google Voice? Which do you prefer? Skype or Google Voice?
