All SkypeOut calls are subject to a connection fee. Connection fees only apply to calls made using Skype Credit. The connection fee is based on your currency, which you can change under your Account, and not on the country you are phoning to or from.

Calls made as part of the Talk for Britain and US & Canada Skype Unlimited Calling plans are exempt from connection fees.

To use SkypeOut you need to buy Skype Credit.

Connection fees are new - but the VAT has always existed... 15% is still better than the 17.5% they would charge us if they were registered in the UK
