Calls to regular landlines and mobiles are charged, it's only Skype to Skype calls that are free, as Skype still have to pay the breakout to the PSTN fees to the telecom provider of the person you are calling.
They may give you a few cents calling credit, but you top up with credit and pay out of that for calls made.
Skype are one of the dearest providers and charge for extras.
Where as Sipgate, https://www.voiptalk.org/reallyvoip offer better / cheaper services.
Or there is https://www.voipdiscount.com and some of their sister sites.It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0
