With Skype Credit you can call mobiles and landlines as well as send SMS text messages worldwide at low rates.
VAT (value added tax) is applicable to residents of the EU who don’t have a VAT registration number, and is calculated at the Luxembourg VAT rate of 15%. If you live outside the EU, you will not be charged the VAT
So Dicky, if I turn off auto re charge, if I just add 10.00 to my account without that happening, does that mean then that I won't be charged VAT on top?
No sorry sj, I meant that you will know how much is going out of your account and when if you do it manually. The vat charge is just what it says, it is a tax. You have to cancel the auto re-charge every time you buy credit.
Oh well, I may aswell keep the auto recharge then, but what a rip off. I've had problems with my landline recently and had to resort to Skype a lot and the auto recharge option has been used a few times very quickly. Thanks for all your answers!
