How Much Does Skype Cost

Skype Services: At a Glance

Skype calls

Skype offers many outstanding services, some are free and some will cost you (they have expenses too). In general, there are two ways to purchase Skype services - monthly subscriptions and pay-as-you-go. The monthly subscription plans have been covered in another article; here we concentrate on the cost of individual services (pay-as-you-go fees). Some of the fees may be reduced significantly (50% in some cases) if you also have a monthly subscription plan.

To use the paid services with the pay-as-you-go plan, purchase Skype credits first, which will be debited as you use the services.

The costs are based on US rates and are valid at the time of writing; other countries would have different rates. Also Skype is expanding its services to more and more countries around the world.
