Skype Prime Beta – get paid for the calls

Skype Prime Beta - get paid for the calls

There is another update to Skype 3.1 beta for Windows – this is the Skype Prime Beta feature which is being regarded as one of the most innovative feature introduced by the company – I was just wondering whether it is so. Aimed at professionals, one can charge for Skype to Skype voice and video calls. When somebody calls you he or she can be charged either per minute or a fee for the call.

Let me tell you how this service works – In order to avail this service both the parties need to have the latest version of Skype and the Skype Prime call provider can send a payment request. Though initially the call is free but one can switch to paid calling. Appropriate deduction is then made from your Skype Credit and this amount is credited to the account of the receiver. The amount is transferred to the receiver via PayPal later on.

Though these types of premium services have existed earlier too but they had been limited to few countries. For Skype Prime the whole world is one and this service can be used by anybody across the globe and one can even enjoy video calls which was not possible in case of traditional phones. For accessing this feature you will be requiring Skype 3.1.0.134 beta for Windows.

It's being said that this feature is aimed at professionals whom one can call and avail their services but I think that it would also give encouragement to the concept of phone sex for sure.

    What’s interesting to me is that Skype has such an enormous user base, logging into my Skype account now reports over 6 million users currently online. With such a large user base, coming up with a creative way to generate more revenue seems to be very well done. Not sure what percentages Skype will be taking from users, but even a small percentage of what I’m sure they hope to be 6+ million users utilizing this service, would amount to a huge new source of revenue….

    There is many “charge for call” platforms like “wengo” or bitwine, but they all have own software and not promote Skype Prime. There is site that was build to work with only Skype Prime and no additional software needed. If you are interested please visit
