Please bear in mind that Skype calling programs which require a constant IP location will not work with a satellite internet connection.
This is because satellite connections provide a non-standard IP locator.
Therefore, programs such as the Unlimited Calling Plan will not operate.

Norman:

thanks for the information. I tested skype on wildblue and garbled connection incoming, however very clear out going. Tested the same handheld phone and calling plan on hughes.net, and worked fine both in and out. latency was slightly lagged, but over all good quality. duane
