Skype/YM over GLBB

am i supposed to be charged for the voice calls i make when in fact Skype and YM themselves declare them as FREE?

because i was.. almost 700php for an hour of call with skype..

can you post your bill?

maybe in my free time..

however, if u're a GLBB subscriber, on the 2nd page are the details of calls made and the LOG for the internet service (which is represented by your username).. on the CALLS tab, my username was written there and a rate of nearly 700php... i went to SM-GPS to clarify this, and they said it is a call made thru the internet (VoIP?)
i asked why i was being charged with my Skype since it's a free PC-PC call.. they said i better call 171.. so i did..

the representative told me he'd refer it to higher officers..

(by the way, this is not recent bill i am talking about, but i just wanted to clarify)

after that, i checked again with SM-GPS, they said my bill was 1999 (which is my monthly rate), so i presumed the almost 700php charge was withdrawn.. come my next bill, attached was a NOTICE OF DISCONNECTION.. i called 171 and they said they only forwarded my 700php charge to my next bill, which i haven't payed since i was presuming it was going to be withdrawn also (since, as we all know, SKYPE is free).. i had no choice but to pay the charge..

and so, earlier this evening, i made a call for almost 2 hrs to NY, USA via SKYPE PC-PC and i remembered the ocurrence last time so i decided to post here if you guys had any similar experience.. and to clarify if there really is a charge for calls made thru SKYPE..

naa na jud na charge. Pero if PC-PC,
