Yep, I just signed up for one yesterday for work - it works really well.  NZ$24 for 3 months with free voicemail!

This was announced a month ago, and discussed here with regards to cost to mobile, and others...

Is it free to call a SkypeIN number from any NZ landline?

Does anybody out there have any other experiences bad or good with the service??

Many thanks,

Gwiym

No, it's not free to call SkypeIn numbers, unless you are in the same area code.

With Skype you need your PC always on (or like me have a Skype DualPhone which plugs directly to your router or switch). Also it's a new phone number. With a provider such as XNET VFX you can port your existing number to it, and have a device to continue using old phones in the VoIP setup.

I also found the SIP-based VoIP quality much better than Skype.
