It seems that from 6th September, Skype is going to "double" the price of its connection rates for international calls.http://www.wird.com/epicenter/2009/08/skype-doubles-connection-fees-for-international-calls/ 

wow thanks for the heads up..that suxs...big time...

Everything else has gone up in the gazillion years that skypes been available so i guess this was inevitable. Skype is still one of the best solutions for me to take care of all things family and financial back home, especially when it comes to calling mobile phones.

I wouldn't take this as definite (though prices will probably go up)

Think it unlikely that the amount of any price hike is set in stone till new owners take over.

yeah...that's why i use Voipbuster...
