Ekiga 3.2 on Ubuntu 9.04
The other day my partner left the market shopping list at home. I took a few minutes off from cleaning the house to try SMSing it to her using Skype, rather than using the small keyboard on my mobile.

Read on to find out how I went getting rid of Skype and its limitations.
