What’s particularly odd about these changes is that if you sign up for a new Skype Number, the price will be much lower.Ĭurrently Skype tells me I can get a new number for $6.50 per month or pay $39 for a 12-month subscription to get a 50 percent discount. Another says the rate is going up from £14 per year to £307.77, while another UK user has a bill that’s going up from £21 per year to £229.68. One says their bill is going up from $30 per year to $480. The Skype forums are filling up with alarmed postings from customers with similar stories. I’m not the only person getting this sort of message. That comes to $359.28 per year, which would be a nearly 1400% increase.

But this morning I got an email from Skype telling me that the rate was about to go up to $29.94. I’ve had a Skype Number for almost a decade and for much of that time I’ve paid about $24 per year for the number. The rest of the original article continues below.

The company says it’ll be communicating the correct pricing next week. Update: Skype has issued a response, stating that it is changing the price of Skype Number subscriptions and that “in some cases the incorrect price was included” in the email messages it sent out. Now it looks like a price hike is on the way. And there’s an optional feature that allows your Skype number to show in caller ID when you’re calling a phone number from Skype. When people call that number, your Skype app will ring. Skype offers customers an optional Skype Number which links your account to a phone number.
