Subscription Calling Plans
On 19 December 2006, Skype announced that there would be a new pricing structure in 2007. Details of a new scheme were released 18 January 2007. The initial press release was vague about the new scheme, but it did reveal that there may be a new connection fee.
In January 2007, Skype launched a prepaid unlimited call subscription for North American customers. Skype's unlimited calling offers unlimited calls to anyone, on any phone, within the U.S. and Canada, for a one-time (i.e. annual) fee. This plan which was called Skype Pro and only allowed for unlimited calls that were made from inside North America.
As of April 21, 2008, these plans were changed to the new calling subscription plans, which don't require the calls to start from a certain country.
Skype offers several monthly plans that it calls unlimited. However, Skype limits these subscriptions to 10,000 minutes per month, 6 hours per day, and 50 telephone numbers per day. If one of these limits is exceeded, any additional calls are billed at regular rates and connection fees if the user has Skype Credit.
