Skype Prime enables you to charge other people for calling you either a one-off fee or by the minute. If you are the caller, you can call experts who charge for their services, and you can then pay the fee and access the expertise that the other call party provides.
This is how Skype Prime works. When you call someone who is a Skype Prime call provider, and you both have the new version of Skype, the provider can initiate a “payment request”. That is, all calls start as free, but you can then switch to the paid calling, charging either by the minute or a one-off fixed fee. The call then proceeds as a paid Skype Prime call and your Skype Credit is deducted by the appropriate amount that then goes to the receiver’s account. The provider does not get the call fees directly as Skype Credit — rather, they go into a special holding “box”. The provider then receives the revenue via PayPal.
