Although skype is funny, see online status and have a chat, it's not a real phone-solution. Someone ever did transcontinental calls? 400ms+ rta?
The good old ISDN is much better :)
And if you dont like fiddeling around with ISDN and swisscom and so on, get yourself a good internet connection (0% packetloss :)) and try one of the SIP providers near you (like http://e-fon.ch). Some of them having quite interesting prices, and if needed, extra-features (like web-based pbx-config, iax trunks, etc).
My favourite solution still would be more users using asterisk DUNDI peer to peer number lookup. I once had 100Fr./Month free Swisscom calls. So I started announcing the whole Swiss FixNet ranges. This did work pretty well, many other Asterisk users made good use of my ISDN lines :-)
If more users with phone flatrates would share their lines via DUNDI, Phone would become nearly free.
