charge.

call do not need to be associated with a contact.
You can choose to use Skype for all international calls, or to be prompted
whether to use Skype or your Verizon Wireless account for a given call
(see Set your dialing method).
Calls to international numbers are subject to Skype charges and require a
Skype credit balance.

messages; or in notes to calendar events.
TIP To check if you have a Skype credit balance, do the following: Open
Phone, open the application menu, and tap Skype Credit Balance. If you don’t
see this menu item, it means you are not logged into your Skype mobile
account. Do this instead: Open Phone, open the application menu, and tap
Preferences & Accounts. Under Accounts, tap Skype, and tap Sign In. Your
Skype credit balance appears under Skype Credit.
