Wasn't too sure where to put this but since it's abit about my phone and we all use Skype on mobiles I thought I'd put it here....

So my friend phoned my mobile phone via his computer/skype from Japan,then he sent me some messages which came through like a text along with number that looks like a mobile phone number. I sent him a message back and it sent just liked a text message? My question is would he have got it or not? I don't have a Skype account or anything I just replied to it like a text and it sent straight away like a normal text does, didn't get any error message etc.

Any ideas? I'm going to create a Skype anyway but just wondered how the above works if the person your calling doesn't have Skype.

Thanks

Sounds like they are using Skype credit which enables you to call normal landlines and mobiles. Also text I think.
Basically on your free Skype account you can buy credit to make non-skype calls.
So he would have got the text I would have thought.

Ahh ok I thought it's free to use Skype even to call landline, shows what I know!

I suppose it can't be free otherwise nobody would use a landline!

Thanks for the reply
