I signed up on December 19 and everything worked for a while. But then Skype seemed to forget that I had ever purchased the unlimited plan, and started charging me by the minute (deducting from the few pennies worth of credit they seemed to have deposited into my account as a demo).<br /> <br /> I went to heartbeat, today, and saw that the Skype folks said that they had some oddball billing problems that were resolved by December 17 (two days before I bought) and that some people's registrations had been lost, with their monies refunded. That sounds sort of like what happened to me. Except that it supposedly cleared up before I subscribed.<br /> <br /> I looked at my credit card account online, today. It appears that the Skype charge (which I thought I saw in December) has disappeared (not charged then refunded, but just disappeared).<br /> <br /> So... That's just my story. I'm going to look for an alternative VOIP provider now. Something that will work through my computer for cheap (no need to support a handset).<br /> <br /> Thank you, Mr. Blog, for getting this topic up.
