Incoming calls to UK landlines?

Question

Hello all!

I just read a tech article from Yahoo News about Skype offering unlimited international calls. The plan doesn't include calls to UK cells, which would be too good to be true. But does include calls to UK landlines... I'm wondering if UK landline subscribers get charged for all incoming calls, or are incoming calls free like with incoming mobile fone calls??

Answer 1

you do not get charged for incoming calls from wherever.

Answer 2

Incoming calls are not charged here in the UK, unless someone rings us on a mobile from overseas.  In this case, we would be charged for the other person having rung us.

In the UK we have a Skype mobile phone on the 3 UK network.  A couple of friends of mine have them.  With these phones they can Skype someone anywhere in the world, as long as the other person has Skype on a computer or a mobile.  So if they were in the UK and I was in the US, for example, either of us could Skype the others free of charge.
