no. it is 100% free, you just have to download it. now skype credit, that costs money. but its a lot cheeper than a cell service. but that's for phone calls, and texting. skype is free. just not skype credit.
ok. so say you buy $10.00 of "skype credit", you are just buying calls to phones, and texts to phones. it is like a cell phone service with out the contract, but you have to have some form of enternet. they dont have cell covrage, just minuets, and txts.
