Skype phone calls now really cheap?

I use skype on the computer to talk to my daughter in Qatar etc. I've never used it for anything else but I am aware that you can use it to phone not just another computer but also to any landline or mobile.

I have always understood - I think it says so on this site somewhere - that its calling rates are not competitive, but it has sent me today an email saying that I can contact any landline in (for example) France or Germany at 0.5p/minute, with a 0p connection fee. For a mobile it is 3p/min.

These seem to be seriously competitive prices.. I'm not connected to them, just telling you what they told me, and I would be interested to know if anyone else has used them or if I have it wrong somehow?

If it is all as it seems to be that is a better price than anything on the call-checker app here. My landline comes via Sky so I can't use a service like 18185 and this can potentially save me a lot of money
