Is there payment required to use Skype?

Answer 1

You can make free Skype to Skype calls, texts, and video calls. However, you can buy a subscription to allow you to call real phone numbers from Skype, and gain access to more advanced features, such as voice-mail.

Answer 2

No, Skype is free and calling other skype users is free. You can video chat, voice chat or text chat with them for no charge. However to call a landline or mobile phone, you must pay to use those services.

Answer 3

No. Skype is free to download and install. You do have to create an account (which is also free). You can talk to other skype users through voice, video, and/or instant message. However, you cannot call anyone by telephone number (land lines, cell phones, 1800 numbers, etc) without paying.

Answer 4

Maybe, depending on what you want to do.

If you want to use Skype to call a "real" telephone number, you have to pay for that.

If you want "real" telephone users to be able to call you on Skype, you have to pay for that.

If you just want to use Skype to communicate with another Skype user, that's free.

Answer 5

Only if you want to make Skype to real phone calls, or get access to advanced features like voice-mail.

Answer 6

Skype does not cost money unless you call a person's phone. Otherwise, it is free if the person you are calling has a Skype account as well.

Answer 7

You don't have to pay for skype no matter how long you use it

Answer 8

To use skype, a person does not have to pay to use the site. However, if someone want to purchase products from skype, then they would have to pay for those.
