I'm looking to get into the techno age and use Skype for Overseas Calls (or even to UK Landlines).
What VOIP Headset is the best value for money (about £10)?
I've found these (http://www.beststuff.co.uk/voip_headsets.htm) which look to be good, but have no idea whether they are any good, or if there any others on the market about the same price!

It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........
and it'll only take about another 100 years for mankind to really **** it up!!!!

Don't understand ...... thought that overseas calls via Broadband connection were free? It has taken about 4,500,000,000 (4.5 billion) years for the Earth to form as it is now .........

If using Skype then to get free calls, the overseas (or UK, though they currently have an offer on for 6 months free UK calls for a £10 top-up) person you are calling also needs to be using Skype and have it running waiting for you to call them. If you want to call a standard landline then that costs, and Skype are one of the dearest for this.
Same with other VoIP services, though unlike Skype many of the other VoIP service use a standard system and some have peering arrangements, so you can call someone on a different VoIP provider for free.
There are VoIP providers such as Betamax/Finera that have reasonably priced VoIP services where they give you 300 free mins per week to a handful of countries for a 10 Euro top-up (every 90/120 days) such as https://www.voipstunt.com, https://www.voipdiscount.comIt's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc...
