Skype

Ways to pay

Skype's most popular features are free, including basic calling, video, and messaging. If you want something that's included in one of the paid services, payment options vary depending on the features you choose.

• Pay as you go: To pay for extra features as you go, you'll need to purchase something called Skype Credit for your account. Skype Credit is how you pay for anything on Skype that's not part of a subscription. It's similar to buying tokens (or charging up your MetroCard) so you can ride the subway. Learn more about it at Skype Credit.
• Subscription: You can purchase a regular subscription that lasts 1 month, 3 months, or 12 months. When it expires, Skype will renew it automatically using the payment method you have on file. (You can still cancel your subscription at any time.) Learn more about it at Skype's Pay Monthly.
• Skype Premium: With Skype Premium, you have two options: You can either purchase a day pass or a Skype Premium subscription that lasts 1 month, 3 months, or 12 months. Learn more about it at Skype Premium.

Skype accepts Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more for all of the above.
