What is Skype, how does it work and does it cost money?

Does the skype/oovoo app cost me money?

  • I downloaded the skype mobile app on my phone to video chat with a friend but it didn't tell me if it would cost me any extra money? I don't plan on calling people on it. Just video chat. Same with the oovoo app I downloaded. I just want to video chat. My phone service is Verizon and my phone is the HTC thunderbolt.

  • Answer:

    No they dont cost money when calling another skype/oovoo user connected through the internet. However if you dont have a data plan and connect to the internet to make free calls your network will still charge you for going online. If your at home you could connect to your wifi otherwise if you have a data plan with free mobile internet access then there no extra costs to worry about its FREE

The Skype app functions just like the Skype app on your computer- calls to other Skype users are free. However, it does use data so if you're on a limited data plan, Verizon will charge you if you use too much. Oovoo should work the same way.
