International costs of receiving calls: Skype vs Skype to Go

Perhaps badly worded up there - basically, I live in Canada and make frequent calls to a friend’s UK mobile, usually via Skype to Go. She has had high phone bills due to receiving so many international calls.

 

My question is: would it be cheaper for her to receive calls from Skype on my computer, as opposed to Skype to Go from my mobile?

 

Thanks, any help appreciated. I’m sure the costs vary depending on her network, but I imagine there’s a blanket answer for which is cheaper that can be generally applied.

Hello,

Yes - it would be cheaper to receive calls from your computer/Skype device. Using this method would not involve any charges for the recipient.
