Skype To Go now for all paying users

Skype To Go
Now for all paying users

We launched Skype To Go back in 2007, and it’s been so popular that we’ve decided to offer it to everyone with Skype Credit.

A Skype To Go number lets you make super low-cost international calls from mobiles and landlines. When you’re on the move, dial the Skype To Go number from any phone to reach your friends, family or business partners abroad. Skype To Go numbers are local numbers, so if they’re included in your phone’s calling plan, you’ll pay only the low Skype rates for the calls you make.

With a Skype To Go number, you can call your friend in Australia, your son on holiday in South America, or your colleague in Tokyo at Skype’s super-low rates from a landline or mobile phone – no matter where you are. Skype To Go lets you take low-cost calls everywhere.

How can I get a Skype To Go number?

To get your Skype To Go number, head to your account to activate the number. If you don’t already have some Skype Credit or a subscription, you’ll need to sort that out first.

Skype To Go numbers are currently available for Australia, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, UK and the US.

How much does it cost?

It's free to set up a Skype To Go number with Skype Credit or a subscription.

Your operator will charge you their standard national rate to call your Skype To Go number – this may even be free if you have inclusive minutes available.

A low per minute call fee for the international call is deducted from your Skype Credit. This may also be free if you have a subscription from Skype – if your subscription includes the US, for example, and you use Skype To Go to call the US, you won’t pay a penny.

It'd be absolutely wonderful if you could make this available to Norway.

*wink*

But this does not work for calling Haiti is that correct?

hello, Canada???? it's next to US, still can't believe the service is not available here.

As usual, Skype hates Canadians.

I still don't know why I bother paying for my unlimited subscription anymore, I don't get half the value countries such as the US and Australia get.

No Skyoe-to-go, no SkypeIn... see? Skype hates Canadians!

Hey guys. Can i call to Moscow like that? I can't find my country on the list.

Just in time for the financial crisis!

(Thanks for including Chile, couldn't believe my eyes!)

Please include Japan!!!

CHINA is a big market for skype, and so many chinese are like to use skype everyday, why there is no china skypein, skype to go number in skype? i hope the skype can give me answer!

Awesome. Thanks!

It's frustrating for us canucks but I'm pretty sure Skype would love to offer Skype to Go in Canada. Write our CRTC overlords for an explanation of why the telco marketplace in Canada is so inflexible.

when and where do I get my skype to go number? I have entered my phone and pin. will Ireceive the to go number via email?
And why isn't Italy included. There has to be more skype users in Italy than any other country.

I am using Skype To Go + Skype Unlimited World. It is quite awesome, because for $100 per year I get free unlimited calls to landlines globally from my mobile, wherever I am in the US. Very very handy.

No Skype to go numbers for London (UK)??

Hey guys! You are being beat by few cents by most of the phone companies when making calls from Canada to Brazil.

Wouldn't it be great if the Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo fees were the same for the whole country?

Yes, this is a rhetoric one, but it's not weird to call your attention to that.

And won't you ever have a "contact us" page?

Thanks!

Is there a mechanism for letting us know if the Country list expands? I also await a Norwegian number.

Hi. I am a skyper from Italy with a World flat fee subscription. Up to a few weeks ago, in my account there was a skype to go number assigned to my subscription I can't find it anymore, although it now seems possible to activate the service from Italy. Where do I retreive the skype to go number that used to appear in my account? can anyone help? thanks vinfly

I also want a HK number. They claimed that there will be this service shortly but now...sigh....

@jon.carroll01 I'll definitely post on this blog if we expand the list - take a look at the subscription options at the top right of the page to make sure you don't miss out

Please add Japan on the list.

Using skype to go is it possible to call someone online in skype?

It will be great with unlimited subscriptions calling skype users using landline will be very useful

Any comments

Mexico skype to go number would be great!!
