Subscription for calling israel

[allenkatzoff]

I want to purchase a subscription to call both landlines and mobile phones in israel. Skype has 2 main subscription options:

1 - a landline option only where where each minute costs about 2 cents

2 - A combined landline and mobile phone option where each minute costs about 10 cents (if i purchase 120 minutes worth of calls each month).

Questions:

1 - In the latter combined option, does that mean that landline calls also cost 10 cents per minute? if yes, how can I get a subscription where the landline calls are billed at the lower rate and the mobile calls at the higher rate?

Thanks.

Hello Allen,

If you purchase Landlines and Mobiles subscription then both landlines and mobiles are charged the same way.

I would recommend purchasing both subscription because then when you call landlines number Skype will automatically use Landlines subscription and when calling mobiles then Skype will use Landlines and Mobiles subscription.

Keep in mind that if subscription for landlines runs out then still landlines and mobiles subscription is used. Choose the amount of minutes based on which numbers you call the most.

Andre,

Are you sure if I purchase both subscriptions that Skype will automatically use the landline subscription when I call landlines and won't use up minutes from the combined mobile and landline subscription?

Thanks.

Yes.
Skype will automatically choose the subscription that has lower rate, unless you don't have any minutes left. If you use up all your landline subscription minutes then Skype will have to move to landlines and mobiles subscription.

If you want you can even get Unlimited Israel which will be used for landline calls and for mobiles you can use a secondary subscription.

If you have any problems with it then send me a message and I'll gladly look into this.
