Oh - your posting indicated a much younger person. Perhaps it was the lack of complete words. Sorry.
How could I have been confused by that.
Search on "Skype" and you'll see lots of speculation, rumors and guessing. |

No indeed I do apologise for my lack of complete words , I happen to be a mother of three children and through lack of sleep etc one does tend to type shortened versions of words .
if you had clicked onto my profile you would have seen I am infact 28years old.
That is all

My sister is 28, has two young boys, and still manages to type in complete sentences.
Feel free to jog on if you can't play nice in the schoolyard.

From the Wall St. Journal..
"While Skype users will be able to use the program to make free calls, they will still need to subscribe to a Verizon voice and data plan. The carrier's cheapest monthly voice plan now costs $40 for 450 minutes, and a $30 data plan is required with any smart phone."
THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH.

There's also no Verizon in the UK where our friendly original poster is from, so if this app is just for VZW, she's up the proverbial creek.

"The Verizon Skype calls will travel over both the Internet and wireless voice technology, but they won't be counted against customers' voice or data plans, according to a Verizon spokeswoman."

If it doesn't count towards data, how does it work? WiFi? What if your not around WiFi?
Or does it use data and just not count? That doesn't make sense.
