I, too, am doing phone calls on Skype, ringing people's landlines and mobile 
phones. So far that has been for family and friends, but it is an option for 
clients as the line is clearer (so people tell me).Yes, it is very 
convenient in having the cost of the call at the top of the screen. I 
recently had a long call to someone in England, for a similar cost to yours. 
I have to call a client back in the morning and I plan to use my Skype to 
ring her landline or mobile.

Virginia, that is really useful and interesting information. I do get 
overseas calls via my website and it can be useful to discuss phone charge 
options. For instance, it's easy for me to do skype to phone calls as I am 
sitting at my desk anyway, and the parent may prefer to sit somewhere more 
comfortable elsewhere. I spoke to one woman over the phone on the weekend 
who had neither internet access nor a landline. I phoned her skype to 
moblile phone - the cost of the call shows up on my skpe credit balance, so 
I can add the call cost to the consult if I choose, it was approx. 1 euro 
(1.36 USD) for an hour call, so it's worth knowing what different payment 
options are available for calls.
