Make phone to phone calls with Skype Web Toolbars

Skype Web Toolbar
The latest version of Skype's Web Toolbars for Firefox and Internet Explorer includes three new features.
  1. When you conduct a search on Google, MSN Live Search, and Ask, PayPal merchants will be highlighted, letting you know at a glance if you can by items through PayPal.
  2. Right-click on images to send a picture directly to friends via Skype. You can also automatically save pictures as your Skype avatar.
  3. Call with a home phone. If you find a number on a web page, rather initiating a PC to phone call with SkypeOut, Skype can call your home phone number, then the number you selected, and connect the call.
Okay, that last one's pretty cool, and sound a lot like what JaJah does. The downside is that Skype will charge you for two phone SkypeOut calls, including initiation fees. In other words, it might take a few seconds longer to pick up the phone and dial the number yourself, but you'll probably wind up saving some money.

On the other hand, if you don't have a long distance plan on your home telephone, this counts as an incoming call. So all you have to pay is the Skype fee.
