If skype is FREE why does my Iphone ask me my payment type?
I want to get skype because I'd love to see & talk with my grandchildren. I want to know why it says it's free, but yet when I go through attempting to download it I get a message asking me my payment type. I would also like to know if I'm going to be charged how much I'm going to be charged & how often? I'm really old, so please don't send me sarcastic messages. I need help with this. I just want to be able to do this without it turning it to a big fiasco. Again, why does it say it's FREE.
Its free… No extra charges… Its a free app… But the appstore wants your payment information to prove your over 18… Not to mention if you ever do want to get a paid app, then your info is already there… Its a security mesaure for the company and liability issue too… See terms of service for the exact verbage…
Google playstore, Apple Appstore, Windows Marketplace, and Blackberry world All have this policy
ONLY skype-to-skype calling is free
any calling skype-to-landline(or cell without skype) they charge a fee for, so they need a payment method.
if you use skype AND your grandchildren use skype, it will always be free.
- Why does my screen go blank when I cover the cam on my iPhone on the Skype app? I have an iPhone 5 and when I'm on Skype - even when I'm not in a call and I cover the camera my screen goes blank. It also does this when I'm on the home screen and signed into Skype but not when I log off - I don't know whether this always happens and I've just never noticed it or whether something is up? X

- Why am I being asked for card payment to update and download free apps (iPhone)? I've reviewed other people's comments re the same problem on apple support and the only answer was to use the 'none' option when selecting card type but no such option is available?
