But you must have paid some sort of internet charge.
I've been Skyping my friends and collegues all over the world for years, and never paid a cent.
What GaryD is talking about is when you use an internet cafe - they are charging a fairly high internet useage fee (presumably for fast broadband).
You do need a reasonably fast connection, i.e. dial up may not cut it for voice or video. I use my wireless internet and it is just fine, and that is around ADSL1 speeds sometimes a bit slower.
