Some Skype confusion

I have seen the tutorials, and also read the FAQ, and also searched the boards.

It says unlimited skype to skype calling/text whether internation or domestic. Does these use minutes/text alloitments? I read it does and it doesn't, and the FAQ could be worded a little better to help **bleep** like me understand.

or is it like this.

Skype to Skype is free, but if I use it to call/text someone that isn't on skype it costs minutes/text?

a idiot proof explaination please lol.

ok so this is what I am gathering.

1. Skype to Skype = free

2. Skype to landline/mobile = minutes

3. Skype to international = Skype credits

this is my understanding (i only use it for skype to skype). skype to skype does not use your minutes. i wasn't aware you could text with skype? i know you can leave typed messages or kind of im with other skype users. none of that is considered text either. IF you use skype to call normal phones, you may have to pay for that....but to skype, not verizon. sorry i couldn't be more help.....i have only ever used it to skype with other skype users. it's nice because my plan has very few minutes so if i'm gettin close to going over and others use skype, i can call them w/o using minutes.

So as long as I keep it skype to skype it doesn't usemy minutes at all, but if I use Skype to landline I may incur charges or minute usage?

If you use Skype to landline, the charges will occur according to your calling plan. Hope this helps!
