SKYPE is now one of the worst bogus BAIT AND SWITCH VOIP providers out there. Their plans are rip-off paradise. They "OFFER" UNLIMITED VOIP usage with their basic subscription - but get this, in tiny letters there's a "Fair Usage Policy" note at the bottom with SEVERE restrictions on their so-called unlimited plans! You are LIMITED to 50 calls a day! NOT ONLY THAT, but if you charge this online, your bank activity will show additional INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTION FEES related to your subscription! WOW WHAT A RACKET! BOYCOTT SKYPE - HUMONGOUS RIPOFF FRAUDSTERS! - Fed up in Los Angeles, YAY MAGIC JACK!

I just skimmed it real quick and saw the fair usage policy mentioned. Perhaps read through the terms of service closer, especially if this is for your business?

Yes, generally 50 calls a day would suffice for home/personal use, but if you are using SKYPE to do even modest telemarketing (which is what I was doing - certainly not 100 calls a day even), you can easily exceed 50 calls a day.

I don't think I'd call limiting you to '50' calls day a severe limitation.
