Finally, brazilian reals.
It was about time. I hope we get integrated on the skype-zone soon also.
Am from Polish, Nicely it that was can have own walute, but when the wiecej of numbers is in SkypeIN in Poland. Unfortunately jesli further nothing sie will not alter, I’m had with you to give up. did you know from in Poland by high prices of payments traditional the telephone, technology the VOIP is very popular. And more and more persons with her use!!!
Add the more of numbers the PTNS in POLAND!!
Taiwan dollar? Are you kidding?? That isn’t even a legit currency.
I did not find where the Brazilian Real in shopping exists….
Still I cannot buy credits in local currency, example the Brazilian Real?
Renato – go to webstore and select “settings”, “change currency”.
Please be aware that, at least for Brazilian Reais, the exchange rate used by Skype is way higher than the current one in Brazil. For the conversion, Skype is using 1 Euro = 3 Reais, while today’s rate is 1 Euro = 2.66 Reais, which is a significant difference.
Esta taxa de conversão de 1 Euro = a 3 Reais aparece somente na página de tarifas (http://www.skype.com/products/skypeout/rates/all_rates.html?currency=BRL)
Eu penso que é apenas um valor “conservador” pois, como o câmbio é flutuante, eles devem ter mantido essa margem de segurança em relação ao câmbio do dia.
Porém, se hoje você tem 1 Euro, e quiser converter sua conta para Reias, passará a ter 2,593361 reais, pois a taxa de conversão é 0,3856 Euro = 1 Real
Isto está lá na página de “settings > change currency”
PS> Se alguém quiser pode traduzir pra mim
Well, could someone explain the process for us?
For instance: when you use up your credit the amount deducted from your balance in BRL is it taken from the price list on the rates page already in BRL, or is it the equivalent of the current exchange rate x price in Euros?
Because if the price is in fact the one shown on the rates page, I would rather use the current setting in Euros because, as I said, the rates would be significantly lower.
Convertendo a conta de Euro para Real hoje (24/11) o sitema usará a seguinte cotação
€0.38560 = R$1.00 (€1.00 = R$2.593361*)
Convertendo a conta de Real para Euro hoje (24/11) o sistema usará a seguinte cotação
R$2.69923 = €1.00 (R$1.00 = €0.370476*)
* este valor eu calculei, os demais o sistema forneceu.
Pelo que eu entendi, na conversão de moedas, o preço para
“comprar” €1.00 é R$2.69923 e o preço para
“vender” €1.00 é R$2.593361
Exemplo: A conversão de €0.20 resultaram em R$0.52 (no skype apareceu como R$0,51)
Aí realizei duas chamada para Espanha para ver como seria tarifada na Global Rate
As duas chamadas foram realizadas até eu ficar sem créditos, e ambos os usuários tinham €0.20 (mas um foi convertido para R$ como mencionei anteriormente)
Data Número Destino Tarifário/min. Duração Preço
Nov 24 20:53 +34955XXXXXX €0.017 11:00 €0.187
Nov 24 20:33 +34955XXXXXX R$0.051 10:00 R$0.510
Como vocês podem perceber, a tarifação em reais, realmente foi feita com a cotação €1.00 = R$3.00
Minha conclusão, atualmente eu não migraria a moeda para o Real.
(pois só vi uma cotação justa no skype in e voice mail 12 meses, que não me interessam)
Outros preços que eu verifiquei quando mudei a moeda:
(Vou colocar o antes Euros, e o depois Reais)
Skype Credit
€10.00 Quase 10 horas de chamadas ao Tarifário Global Skype. (9horas e 48 minutos)
R$25.00 Quase 9 horas de chamadas ao Tarifário Global Skype. (8horas e 10 minutos)

Jaanus, I am thankful for the information but, still I do not obtain to buy credits paying in Real. When I try to buy in Real it converts the value for Francs. That is normal or a problem of the system?
weinanhu: Surely you are kidding. I’ve got to mention that currently Taiwan 元 is the only legit currency in Tainwan. RMB is not legit in Taiwan. Sorry.

It is nice to see Taiwan dollar symbol(元).
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=USDTWD=X show the currency between US Dollar and Taiwan Dollar
Go Go Skyper.
I´ve got the same problem as my colleagues above. When I tried to credit in Real the system did not accept, so I had to buy it in USD (dollars).
Does anyone here know if it is worth getting credit in Euros or Dollars?
I`ll be very thankful for this answer!!

When will billing be available in $ AUD ? My bank through my visa card charge a fortune for foreign exchange commissions !
mark_silvia — I’m sure $ AUD (Australian dollar) will eventually come, but can’t tell exactly when.
