INTERNATIONA CALLS WITH SKYPE! if I use skype to call an america cell phone, well the reciever be charged?

Question

I am currently in Taiwan, and I have been using Skype and calling people's cell phones.

I am very scared because I just learned that it is possible that the people that recieve skype calls in America from their cell phones may be charged a lot because they are receving an international call. Is this true or exactly how does this work? The phone's I have been calling have been Verizon Wireless by the way,.

Please if someone could give me a detailed explanation id greatly appreciate it!

Other details: I use skype and call verizon cell phones, and right now I live in taiwan. Does skype use local numbers or international numbers when you contact people in America?

Thanks guys

Answer 1

No, skype does not charge the receiver of the call, it only charges the caller. I use skype also and I do so to call cell phones in Australia. The skype site shows how much it costs to call phones in various countries.

Answer 2

It's international numbers...or depending on where you signed up. It's best to contact Skype to Skype.
