It's Skype's own store, so one would think they'd have a vested interest in 
selling product that works with their service. A little googling could 
probably get you some reviews. 

My wife uses Skype to dial her parent's land line in Peru every day (nearly) 
from the U.S. That works very well, but, it doesn't give them the freedom to 
call us. That costs money, but it's super cheap - under $20/ month. If this 
island country has just gotten internet, Skype probably doesn't offer land 
line calling there yet, anyhow.
