Free Calls from Skype

Skype has just announced that you can now make outgoing calls for free using their new software.  Yup, it doesn't look like there are any strings attached at all.  Seems to work fine, with the caveat that the incoming caller ID is strange - 000-012-3456. Very odd!  And it's a little weird to figure out how to add a new number.  When you click "Add Contact", you need to click the "link" to add a "SkypeOut contact".  Then it works fine.

The one catch is that they say it will only be free until Dec 31, 2006.  But hey, why not?
