Skypein Now In New Zealand

Well that proves it, voting can actually make a difference. Ok quit your laughing, true the government usually does what it wants, however this time I'm quite pleased I voted in the last elections. In fact it was the first time I'd voted in 10 years, and the Labour government won by a narrow margin due to people like myself, lol. However it has worked out well for me, interest free student loans and more importantly they deregulated the Telecommunications industry, effective 1 April 2007 (the start of the 2007-08 financial year here). Not only has this improved the DSL and landline offerings around the country, dereg also means we can have Skypein numbers here too!

UPDATE: I now have an Auckland Skypein number, and it works perfectly! I can also have it redirect to my cell phone if my computer isn't on :-) I've tested that as well, however the call just comes up as Private Number on the phone, so it's a bit hard to tell if it's a skype call, but it's still pretty cool either way.
