Hi Cacatuoides ! Nice to meet you. I have used skype before. You can download that software from the internet and use webcam to chat with friends from overseas without any charges.
Curious to find out what are the charges like when we receive calls from someone using Skype? (Receiving by handphone)
1) If Skype user(caller) and receiver are both in Singapore, is the receiver being charged local call fees?
2) If Skype user(caller) is overseas and receiver in Singapore, is the receiver being charged overseas fees?
Can't seem to find out these answers![]()

I know I can do computer to computer calls for free.
I wish to find out if my friend in overseas is being charged when I call out from Skype.

Even if they receive calls on their mobile phone when I call from Skype?
Anyone else has experiences on this? thanks!

Unless they have wireless internet connected to their phone, using skype on their handphone would be absoultely free on charge !

the receiver gets charge as per their subscription plans with the operator. most plans does not discriminate on the calling party, i.e. the receiver gets charge the same wherever the caller is.
there are some plans that offer a special charge depending on the calling origination. e.g. Digitel in Philippines has a buddy plan in which calls originating AND terminating on the Digitel network is free.
I believe you misunderstand the question. the thread starter is asking about him originating a call from skype and calling into a normal cellular phone subscriber, not a cellular phone using skype (which is typically using WiFi and not the cellular network).

why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

yes. it will be just another incoming call. let me clarify that you are using your skype to make a call to a phone number, i.e. you bought skypeOut credits?

yes that's what I thought you were doing. your friend will not know where the calls come from as it depends on where skype place the originating calls.
these days IDD calls are routed all over the shop and calling ID can no longer be relied on to indicate actual origination. even CIA finds it a headache because part of the call can be on VOIP (like skype) and so what they can trace on the circuit does not represent the whole picture.

Thanks for your explanation Choy. I have a better understanding now.
I feel more at ease when calling my friend in China as I'm afraid he will be charged overseas fees. Now I can talk freely!![]()
