How much does call forwarding cost?
With a subscription you can forward calls to landlines in any country within your subscription at no extra cost. To countries outside of a subscription (and if you don’t have a subscription) you’ll pay a per minute rate charged at our rates for calling phones and mobiles. However, if you make a Skype-to-Skype call to someone who has their calls forwarded, you won’t pay anything.
If you want to use call forwarding without a subscription you’ll need Skype Credit. You call also use your credit to make calls to phones and mobiles and to send text messages directly from Skype.
Now you can forward calls to landlines in over 30 countries with a subscription at no extra cost. Also includes other great calling features.
