As soon as you cross the borders, it becomes International. And if you cross the borders from Europe to the US it is even Intercontinental.<BR/><BR/>Besides that, the US is not a SkpePro country either.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Skype has the power to change the conceptions "National", "International", "Intercontinental"<BR/><BR/>IkeHelen Varrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533125682384557368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32610606.post-52573913835497768102007-03-27T18:06:00.000+02:002007-03-27T18:06:00.000+02:00To me, Skype has always been something that defies...To me, Skype has always been something that defies the concepts of "national" or "international" in telecommunication.<BR/><BR/>It would be hard for me to believe that there are customers who regularly use skype-out to make national landline calls. No, all people I know use it to call international, to friends in other countries or back home when they live abroad.<BR/><BR/>My understanding, while reading the offer was that I will get the calls to landlines within the country that I have defined in my settings or even to all SkypePro countries. I guess this makes me a dumb person in the eyes of skype marketeers. Only after reading the forum I understood that I will get only calls to the country where my skype phone is connected to the internet.<BR/><BR/>There is not much use in this offer for me and I was able to avoid it. If I have taken it based on my initial understanding, I understand that the only response from skype would have been a grinning "you are stupid and you will not get the money back, feel free to make calls in the country you live and think abut the concept of national calls."<BR/><BR/>Customers have actually right to be stupid. The company should try better to explain the contents of the offer to the slower-minded customers also, if they want to be in business for longer period.<BR/><BR/>The sentence "you can make free calls (apart from the connection fee) to landlines within the country you are at that very moment if that country is listed for SkypePro" could be quite easily added to the offer page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32610606.post-81152415432276879202007-03-26T02:31:00.000+02:002007-03-26T02:31:00.000+02:00I am an American currently living in France.

I pay for Skype Credit with an American credit card in dollars. I am a careful reader and understand the difference between "national" and "international." However, I bought SkypePro in order to make free unlimited calls to landlines in the United States. I do not see anything specifying "the country you are in." I never call landlines in France, so I've just wasted $7.50 due to unclear terms and conditions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32610606.post-44763793413819936792007-03-08T22:36:00.000+01:002007-03-08T22:36:00.000+01:00Maybe the user is right but for me what is so diff...Maybe the user is right but for me what is so difficult to understand about National and International?<BR/>If I ask them to sing the National Anthem, will they sing the Anthem of another country to me??? I doubt very much………<BR/><BR/>I'm an english man living in sweden, if you ask me to sing 'the national anthem' I'd sing you the english one. Why would I asume you mean the anthem of the counry I'm in? Same goes for national international, unless you mention both words in the same sentence I asumed it ment my uk national call.<BR/><BR/>SkypejonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
