Skype Journal FAQ: Do I pay roaming when my son Skype’s me from Argentina?

Phil Wolff 26 January 2010 5:41 pm

Q. My son Skyped my mobile phone from Argentina. Will I see expensive international rates or roaming fees on my next bill? – Dad in USA.

A. No. That was a local call as far as your phone company is concerned. Your son only paid "SkypeOut" rates, about $1.20 per hour. Aren’t you glad your boy learned to use the Internet?

    Skype is cool indeed but you failed to answer the question, so let me suggest an alternative:

    Dear Dad, YOUR phone bill does NOT depend on where other people call you from. But your son saved quite a few bucks that HIS phone company would've been only too happy to take away from him if he hadn't used Skype.

    I need to contact any person in Skype to solve my payment problem.
    Please could you send to me any link, email or phone number to make some question directly to Skype?
    In advance many thanks for your answer / help.
