Everywhere I look on the Skype webpage, the cost is listed as $12 for 3 months and $38 for 12 months. When I go to check-out, however, it offers me the choice of $18 for 3 months or $60 for 12 months. Is this a poorly-coordinated price hike or something wrong with the check-out? post:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.58879 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 10:31:51 -0800 bethm skype skypein http://ask.metafilter.com/58879/Skype-changing-prices#885075 FWIW- Skype customer service just got back to me and said they're having some problems with the in-program buying setup. They recommended I go to skype.com. If you're trying to buy directly in the program, there's a slim possibility that's part of the problem. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.58879-885075 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 10:50:49 -0800 conch soup http://ask.metafilter.com/58879/Skype-changing-prices#885078 I just went to skype.com and it gave me the correct price at the chackout. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.58879-885078 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 10:53:12 -0800 Ferrari328 http://ask.metafilter.com/58879/Skype-changing-prices#885196 Are you sure the quoted price is in dollars? When I bought my skype plan all the prices were initially quoted to me in Euros but the checkout converted them to dollars for me. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.58879-885196 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 14:38:47 -0800 LunaticFringe http://ask.metafilter.com/58879/Skype-changing-prices#885219 Mine is in Canadian dollars, and it says "Only $38 for 12 months or $12 for 3 months" but I didn't go through the further steps. That's Canadian, not Euros. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.58879-885219 Sat, 17 Mar 2007 15:29:54 -0800 Listener
