skype pro
skypeIn
seems like to me it would just be easier to give the option for a la carte, but then make skype pro include all services. anyway, i got skype pro with skype in now....we'll see how it goes.

So what did it cost then? I believe I just averaged it out to around $12 per month for SkypePro and Skype in, because it depends how much you pay in advance.
Still very happy with skype, we've been using it for about 3-4 months now.

$12 a month?? is that like including tax or something and extra charges? i paid $24 for a year of skype IN, and i bought 5 months of skype pro for $15. this is all up front. so if all in total, my charges for a year will be $36 + $24 = $60 for an entire year of skype. thats like $5 a month. where do you get $12.

Maybe a lot of SkypeOut credits?
Do you need to pay for SkypeIn minutes? Or just for the SkypeIn number?
It's annoying how difficult they can make these things. It's almost like they are saying, "just order and you will see how much it will cost and what you will get".

No I was wondering about the difference between your $5 and DK's $12. Maybe he uses SkypeOut a lot.
