How to Get Skype Credits
Packaged in the form of free software compatible with many operating systems, the internet telephone service Skype allows users to make free calls to other Skype members. Skype also offers products and features such as voicemail and text messaging; being able to enjoy these features requires that users purchase Skype credits for their account. Users are able to obtain credits for the first time or increase an existing balance via credit card or electronic payment providers such as PayPal or Moneybookers.
