Skype is a service that provides subscribers with communication services via the Internet. The program allows you to communicate with other Skype users for free. However, in order to call a landline phone or send a message to a mobile phone, you need to top up your account.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest, but not very profitable way is to replenish cash through a payment terminal. Find a terminal that supports this service, select a Skype recipient in it and follow the instructions on the screen. The terminal commission is usually 2-4%.
Step 2
It is much more convenient to replenish your account using electronic payment systems. The most common are Yandex. Money and WebMoney. In addition, there are also services moneybookers.com, paybycash.com. When replenishing your balance using these services, you are charged a small commission for using the system (0.8-1%).
Step 3
To fund your account using Yandex. Money and WebMoney, you need to create a wallet on the official sites of these electronic banks (yandex.ru - tab "money", webmoney.com). It's also completely free, fast and intuitive. Next, you need to replenish your wallet account. This can be done at a bank, in a payment terminal, through Internet services, as well as by purchasing special cards. But keep in mind that for crediting money to an electronic account, most banks and services charge a commission of 1-3%. If you already have an electronic wallet that contains money, you will only be charged the commission of the payment system for replenishing the balance in Skype (in WebMoney it is 0.8%). To transfer money to your Skype account, select Skype in the list of payment services and enter the required amount. The money will arrive in about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Skype services can also be paid using a Visa or Mastercard. To do this, go to the "account" tab in Skype, click "top up" and select the "credit card" payment method. Next, you will be asked to provide your account number and the amount you want to deposit. Money usually arrives within half an hour.
Step 5
Another option is to use SMS payment. This can be done through specialized sites, for example, https://www.skypilka.ru/, https://skypecashin.ru, https://plati.ru. In this case, the money is debited from your mobile phone account. The amount is credited to the Skype account minus the site commission. You will see all the numbers during the checkout process and will be able to cancel the operation if you consider them unprofitable.
