Skype Prime Beta feedback — thanks, and keep it coming

By My status Jaanus on March 9, 2007 in Skype Beta and new releases.

Since we put out the first beta of Skype Prime this Wednesday, we have been getting tons of feedback [on blogs](http://www.technorati.com/search/Skype+Prime), to our support, chat and any other channels that you can possibly think of. We see many comments about the content of possible call services, maximum and minimum charges, Skype's cut of the revenue, more varied billing options, user interface improvements and many many more things. Thanks, keep it coming :)

In fact, we anticipated getting all this feedback, and this is exactly why we put out Skype Prime out in its early stage of development. Skype Prime is currently a beta/test version and you can expect many changes to it as we go forward. We know of several rough edges that we have there and we keep polishing those. So we ask you to think of Skype Prime in its current state as not of something that's set in stone, but rather something that you are just seeing the first version of. If you have been following the development of Skype, I'm sure you have noticed that we keep evolving and re-engineering things, and this will surely be the case for Skype Prime as well.

This also means that if you are uncomfortable using pre-release software, you are probably better off staying back for a while and letting it evolve through a few more versions before giving it a run.

If you want to be involved with Skype Prime, please send your input to our [support](http://support.skype.com/?_a=tickets&_m=submit), use the [forum](http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showforum=134) or [Skype Prime Beta public chat](http://ui.skype.com/ui/0/3.1.0.136/en/publicchats-join?skypename=srobesky&topic=Skype%20Prime%20Beta%20Chat&blob=wN9oidKUEg23CZX3ohNxD-YSQbS7FI9BYfZ03YWH1wyFHcPfzY97L1VdHSMkoTwrkqxkLY7P7j9uzK2FMP5n).

Skype prime is the best thing since just plain Skype.
See a nice example of a website using Skype prime snippet. www.sharepay.co.za/support.htm

Btw a few things you may like to add.
Make it possible to use the money earned to buy skype airtime or voicemail not only forced to pay out in paypal. Also there should be promotions to users who draw alot of attention to skype prime and get many people to start using it..

anyway thanx for the good work making Skypeprime,

regards

This is going to be a stupid question - pls forgive in advance, but I need help. Can I send money via Paypal to someone in South Korea and then that person use that Paypal money to buy airtime on Skype. This without that perosn in Soth Korea having a credit or debit card herself?
Thanks,
Ferdi
