Never miss a call with voicemail

Let Skype take incoming calls when you’re busy,
unavailable or simply offline.

  • People leave you messages when you’re unavailable.
  • Personalise your voicemail greeting.
  • Store your messages and listen later.

Voicemail is the simple solution to never missing a call. Your unanswered calls are sent to voicemail and you can listen to messages when you want, wherever you are signed in to Skype.

How much does it cost?

Voicemail is included with the purchase of any of our subscriptions. Otherwise, it’s just $6 for 3 months or $20 for a full year. You’ll need to buy Skype Credit to purchase voicemail but you can also use the credit to call landline and mobile phones and send SMS directly from Skype.
