Skype Not Free Anymore?

[Googer]

I just went to place a call to a landline using Skype and It no longer works. They now want me to buy credit. I no longer see any reason to use it and I will now abandon it.

So in other words, you're cutting off the service?

$14.95 for the entire year unlimited is pretty reasonable

there is no free lunch

You really didn't know it was going to have a fee? I've used the thing about twice, and not in at least half a year, and I still knew they were going to charge in 2007.

SkypeOut was free until 1/1/07.

And you have a very bad attitude.

Thanks. Free was the only reason why I used it.

Yopu need to get out of OT more. NOT HOT: Pay for Skype starting Jan 1st. Apparently they even sent emails announcing it.

Yeah, I found another one that's free though, the name is iCall. It works adequate but not as good as skype I think.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Yeah seriously if you can't afford $1.25 per month, you should sell your computer and cancel your internet access.


EDIT: You can barely buy a gumball from a vending machine for $1.25 anymore.

somehow I knew when i signed up for skype for the free calling through the end of the year there would be a post in January asking "whaaa? where did free skype go? cheap bastards!"

... right on queue

Skype said earlier this year their skypeout service would be free through 2006, and they kept their commitment (you ungrateful leech. )

Those must have ended up in my spam folder.

I'm concerned that if you leave them, being one of their largest accounts, Skype may go out of business entirely.

I upgraded the other day to the $14.95/yr plan. Great deal
