A very clear, straight forward introduction to controlling Skype through VB.

Certainly a good starting point for anyone thinking of attempting this type of programming.

Just called two friends in the US from Germany. The second time I even got a human on the line because I couldn't say Glen Allen, Virginia with an american accent .
I did not have to listen to any Ad's either. Great service.

Shame the UK charges 40Pence a call plus 23p a minute to their 118 500 number.

"Calls to 118 500 cost 23p per minute and are billed by the second with a 40p connection charge from BT landlines (excluding BT payphones). Mobiles and other networks may vary. Prices correct at time of publication (August 2005).

please send me a chat message of ALL the skypeout #,s

Hello,
I not Speak English. Please HELP

The free call via 1800FREE411 worked for me, but it permits only about a 3 minute phone call. It gave me a recorded warning when 60 seconds were left, then cut me off. Still, this is great for making short free U.S. calls from Skype!

^^^^^^^sory messed up...if i called europe from the usa would it charge my bills or anything??

Hi, I've been using skype for several months now. It feels just like being in my contacts homes all the time and they in mine. And it saves us hondreds of $ every month.
I love it.

Please can you provide FREE skype out service to to offline contacts?

Just downloaded Skype, I'm as new as it gets. I wanted to add skype out to call landline phones and the offer is:
"Spend a minimum of $10 or €10 using PayPal and get free Skype services" but when I click this link I only have the option to buy 10 Euros worth; what if I want $10?

it's perfect

if i live in Australia can i ring an Australian landline?

Hi can anyone tell me how to get started, I tried makind a phonecall then it told me my credit had finished. I thought the calls were free!! Ta

Outstanding!!! Obviously written by a true professional.

Very helpful source code for the Visual Basic developer. It eliminates all the hard work needed to get your VB app up and running with Skype.

Without the use of this module, I would be lost...

Would anyone tell me why I am not able to purchase Skype points online via credit card? I tried for several times, but the automessage cotinously said "refused......". BTW, I am in P.R.China. Thank U

Hello.Anyone here can tell me if you pay for the incoming calls made from a regular phone to your skypein number?Thanks a lot.

Eddie.

I'm very sad because I have been a very loyal Skype and SkypeOut user but last week when I tried to purchase more SkypeOut credits (I normally load up a lot!), I was told that moneybookers is no longer an option and I'd have to pay via Direct Bank Transfer. Since I'm from the Philippines, this arrangement becomes far too expensive for me because of all the bank charges so I might not be able to use SkypeOut anymore to call my friends abroad. This is very disheartening to me. I wish they would allow me to pay via moneybookers again.

Pretty sweet we combo Free411 and Skype. I've been using free 411 on my cell for a while now, in speed dial, saved me a lot of $. Never thought about using it with Skype to make free calls though. Nice Idea! Thanks.

I am ready to talk to my boyfriend in El Salvador. I cannot complete the phone call ever because somebody wants money. I thought it was free. I told him that I need to pay for credits to call him and he says no way, He has been using this for a while now and has never paid a penny. Why are they charging me. Is it only in the USA that we are charged. very confused????????

Is there a way to use a similar service in Canada?

Egypt....

Make shure to have Skype Credit when you go to Egypt
and try to call somewhere...
You are unabale to purchase Skype Credit form Egypt
Ip's "for security reasons".

So best you ask a friend or relative to log into your
Skype account and pay from any other country with your Credit Card. It works....

A reason why Egypt is still in the third world countries, Telecom protection !!!!!

is there a similar service for the United Kingdom (UK)?

If so can someone provide details?

Thanks!

This is totally amazing! I am studying in Australia and my parents are in the US so it's a great way to stay in touch!!! The only question I have is when I call a land line or a cell phone from my skype minutes does it cost them anything or does it just use the minutes I bought? Thanks so much!!!

Canada's 411 doesn't work since Skype does not seem to accept 3-numbered phone numbers...
