Skype Call forwarding+Unlimited package

[PkennethV]

I was looking at Skype Call forwarding and it says "Forwarding calls to a landline or mobile is charged at our SkypeOut rates." (http://www.skype.com/products/callforwarding/) But what if you have the Unlimited Calling package to the US and Canada, would that mean you will be able to forward all your calls for free (assuming that the number you are forwarding to is in the US/Canada)?

Sounds like you'd be ok (it's free) if you have the unlimited package. How much is that BTW?

 

[PkennethV]

For 1 year $14.95 US untill jan 31. After that it's $29.95.

Wow, that's it?! That's a deal.

To further answer your question you probably should just email Skype.

Does the Skype Unlimited Calling plan cover calls forwarded to landline or mobile phones?

No. The call plan only covers SkypeOut calls directly made by you on Skype. Calls forwarded to regular landline or mobile phones when you are offline or by SkypeIn preference will be charged at standard SkypeOut rates based on the call destinations.

On this note.. is there a way to pay that Skype thing with a Money Order? You know you go to a corner shop and pay cash and they give you a money order check and you send that to them?

Yeah, the linked page lists the accepted ways to pay. Do you not have a bank account or a credit card?

Have a bank account thats monitored by the rents.. they wont understand the service that I want from Skype.. I like it a lot because its easier when i am on the go and When I am making mass phone calls and conference calls.

No Credit card.. but If i did it would also be monitored, anyways where do I go for Money Order payments? Which one do I choose? (US payment)

Thank you for your help, sorry if I hijacked your thread

I don't see that any of those options really allow you to send money by check. I don't think paypal or moneybrokers allows for that.

Erm...not sure what to tell you. You're getting a Skype service that costs >$20 a year, though... not buying porn or getting cosmetic surgery. Why not just tell them about it? If you're old enough to be "on the go" and you have the money, I don't see why it's a big deal to have a paid Skype account....

I paid for that service long ago. SO worth it. $17.00 for Canucks
