The title is more rhetorical than anything, but I thought you all might find this interesting. From time to time I'll have folks tell me they use Skype for their cold calling and I'm grateful it's on the phone because I tend to roll my eyes when I hear it and here is why:
Cold calling only works when you're making a lot of phone calls, like 50+/hr (dialers are super helpful in that department), but with Skype, on the "unlimited" plan it generally caps you out at 50 different phone numbers in a day. So when people tell me "I use Skype for cold calling because it only costs me $3/month for the unlimited plan" it's an indication to me that they aren't really doing much cold calling.
For anyone not interested in using a dialer, but wanting to use a softphone like Skype, you can download x-lite or another option by 3cx and use a vitelity account to make super cheap phone calls with no daily limit.
