When "Free" Costs 10 Euros
It appears, at least as far as I can tell, that in order to get "free" US calls, you have to buy 10 euros worth of SkypeOut service, because until you do that, SkypeOut is inactive and can't be activated any other way. Or am I missing something? How can you activate SkypeOut service without paying anything?

Make sure you dial numbers in the format

Ahh! It looked from the help text like you only had to enter + and not +1. Using +1 before the number does do the trick. Thanks!

If the call is originating from the US or Canada, you shouldn't need to purchase anything. I opened a new account for my wife and the free calls worked fine (no credit card info needed). I think it flashed a warning that I needed to purchase SkypeOut minutes, but it still connected fine (dont' forget to add +1 to US phone numbers). I think the warning was due to software that hadn't been updated since the free call announcement was made.

Skype is a free download and it's free to get an account.

It works from outside the US just fine (at least from Germany). As other have written, just make sure you use the "+1 xxx xxxxxxx" format for the phone number.

I was having a hard time figuring it out to. Just make sure you type the "+" symbol before the number. |
