Look at it this way. Virtually all the people you chat to on Skype
will have a standard telephone. Get yourself sorted with a SIP
provider, and some gear, and you'll still be able to call them at very
cheap prices, or for free if they are on SIP too.
If you then don't like the SIP proviider you are with then there are
lots more out there - with Skype - you have Skype and you are a very
small cog in their wheel. It can be very frustrating dealing with some
organisations.
If you are having all this trouble with Skype now then ask yourself if
you are likely to risk putting more money into your account. If 'no'
then you might as well cut your losses now and move on - less
stressful that way.
