Skype numbers

Do any of the major networks charge extra to call Skype numbers ?

I'm hoping that it comes out of the inclusive mins

Can anybody provide some clarity
Thanks

If your calling a UK one from your mobile in the UK they are treated as a normal 01/02 number and come out of your inclusive minutes.

Ok thanks..here my situation...hope you can advise

I have got myself a Skype number... 0208 123 xxxx

I am off 2 Florida in a few weeks time and have given a few people my Skype number and I intend on using the Skype app on my IPAD to answer such calls...wifi in the villa

So here's the crunch..

If someone calls my Skype number whilst im in Florida, who is being charged...at the moment I have no Skype credit...but I don't think I need any.

They pay for call to 0208 number or its included in there inclusive minutes. You answer it on Skype so it should cost you nowt.

I dont think your need Skype Credit for that situation. But it might be worth a small investment just in case.

However, add one of Skype's US numbers to the mix, and you can give this out for US people to contact you whilst over there, it then saves them an international call when all they want to tell you is your Table Reservation is ready....
