It's quite good actually. We can pay the price with bitcoin automatically etc.
Also I don't trust the Microsoft (they're saving anything you do, anything you say also supports SOPA, Prism etc)

@OP - I think it's a great idea, pioneering move in the bitcoin world. If it's cheaper than Skype I see no reason why people won't be interested in using it. Something like this should have a good chance to gain a pretty substantial userbase. Really hope it works out.
Bitphone, from Solid Cloud, is designed to take the best parts out of all of the above and fuse them into one web-based application, currently in beta. It’s a Web RTC based phone that can call SIP addresses, PSTN Phones and provide Peer-to-Peer communications. It works as an anonymous payphone. You don’t even need to register for its use. You can just go to the website from your phone, Internet Cafe, or local library, deposit some bitcoin, and simply place a call anywhere in the world. Bitcoin and its superior ability to utilize cost-efficient micro-payments takes care of the rest.
“Skype is great for Peer-to-Peer communications and talking with your friends and family,” Gavin Stevens, founder of Solid Cloud LLC and Bitphone told CoinTelegraph. “Skype does need to be installed however which can't be done on many corporate or public computers. When calling phones, Skype's rates are quite high and the US$10 Skype credit minimum which you'll never get back is frustrating.”
He added : "“Bitphone is ideal due to its portable nature ‘No install required’ We also offer cheaper rates than Skype for registered users. Plus you only deposit what you need and can get your change back when you're done.”"

Are you personally planning to use it ? #Bitcoin_To_da_moonAnything that gives you access to goods and services thorough bitcoin without needing to cash out is an advance and benefits BTC, so its very well welcomed. For example, one could use what you get from sig campaigns which is not much, but may be enough to pay the phone bill at the end of the month, without this money never touching the banking system.
