This is partly why I've stayed away from GV. It seems like it could be useful but it also feels too good to be true. I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm sure they'll fix the reliability problems but I'm still paranoid about security/privacy. I decided to let other people handle the post-beta beta period this time around.
- AgentConundrum 16y agoThis never felt "too good to be true" for me, because this isn't the first time I've been through it. When I first moved away from home in 2006, I spent a few weeks paying a ton for long distance phone cards just to keep in touch with my family back home. I soon discovered that Skype was offering this same "computer-to-landline" service for free until the end of the year. I realize that it's not 100% the same as what Google is doing now, but it's close, and Skype seemed a lot more stable to me then than this post would have me believe Google is doing now (I haven't tested the new service yet).
