Problem is, it doesn’t go out over voip…. It makes calls to your phone via regular PSTN just with no PC client anymore….So it does a conference on a server somewhere and makes a call to your cellphone. Therefore you still get cell phone charges, and you use skypeout credit EVEN if you have unlimited Skype out…. So basically you get charged skype out credit, and on top of that MINUTES on your cellphone
Kinda a rip off….
Chris- It charges Skype Out credit EVEN if one uses the unlimited plan? That’s horrible, I don’t think I will be using it…
Cell phone minutes are charged only on incoming I guess, right? So if you have an unlimited incoming plan then it might be ok?
