Skype help? Any Skype users here?

Question

I'm thinking of getting Skype for long distance calls. Is it just $25/ year with no other hidden fees/taxes -ever? do i connect a telephone to the computer? will i have a special phone number for incoming calls from long distance?

Answer 1

I don't think you can recieve calls from a telephone

Only computers

but you can call to telephones

Answer 2

I know that you can make calls and receive calls from a telephone but you have to pay for the number that they will call you at.

I believe they do charge by minutes but it is way less than your regular telephone company.
