Skype Journal: Skype Voice Mail & SkypeIn Rates
March 9, 2005 10:33 PMSkype slips into their website help section a new knowledge base which unofficially reveals their pricing strategy for voicemail and SkypeIn. As expected it confirms that voice mail will be free with the purchase of a SkypeIn number. The site update suggests that a new SkypeVM version will be released "very" soon. Perhaps I'll have that SkypeIn number before next week! There are no real surprises in the rate which are very competitive. It's unclear whether any significant additional voice mail features will be in the next release for Windows.
Skype Voice Mail:
The price for Voicemail is 5 Euro for a 3 month subscription or 15 Euro for a 12 month subscription. If your billing address is in the EU, you will be charged 15% VAT when you purchase a Voicemail subscription. Therefore the prices will be 5.75 Euro for 3 months and 17.25 Euro for 12 months. However, a Voicemail subscription comes free with purchase of a SkypeIn number!SkypeIn
