This is a simple question but I don't know it.
I know skype allows you to have a free skype account to call anybody on skype. But I am wondering if I signup for a free skype account if non-skype people can contact me for free.
I know you have to pay if you want the ability to make calls out to mobile or landlines. But I don't know if people can contact you from non-skype ways without me paying?
For instance if I had a skype account could anybody that has comcast VOIP still contact me or will I have to pay?
As well if somebody has a SIP account on another provider would they beable to use their software phone to contact me for free and visa-versa.
Or does both parties have to be on skype for it to be free?
