Skype cost query.

I am using Skype-out to phone my parents mobile who are away for 9 weeks touring Europe.

Do i pay for all of the call or do my parents pick up part of the cost as they would if i rang them using my mobile?

Thanks in advance.

    you would pay for a mobile call, and your parents would still pay the roaming charge

    When I was in this situation, I got my parents to text me when they're next to a phone box and I'd phone them on that.

    It was cheaper to phone a land line and they dont pay the roaming cost.
