Skype Mobile App Causes Some Verizon Users to be Charged at International Rates
Investigation has found that when an individual places an international phone call using the Skype mobile app on a Verizon data-capable phone, such as the Droid, the call will sometimes be logged as a Verizon outgoing call and the individual will be charged Verizon’s per-minute rates for international calls. The difference in rates per minute is significant because an international call made with Skype credit can cost 2 cents per minute, but can cost more than $1.50 per minute with Verizon.
