A quick Skype Prime fantasy
So I'm driving down the road and my old officemate calls me, whining about his new boss. I listen for 4 minutes then tell him I'm turning on Skype Prime, hit a few numbers on my mobile, and starting billing him at $60/hour. Five minutes later he starts whining about his love life; I turn up the rate to $120/hour. He started telling me how much he missed working with me, how great I am and that he knows a great girl for me, so I rebated half his fee. Then I hit a tunnel and lost my connection.
So I called my wife and told her all this.
She charged me $500.

Indeed Phil, this would be a lovely use case as you told me before. :) To be honest would love to see it in real life... Especially when your wife charges you $500 for the call and you get home afterwards :)
Anyways enough offtopicing :) The idea of moving Skype Prime to a mobile platform aswell is a great idea that would benefit Skype in more ways than one. However I'm not sure if the charging proccess (when I charge from my mobile) could be implement easy however the other way around (when I'm charged and I'm using a mobile device) could be done relativly simply because it is only deducting you Skype Out credit. Interesting thoughts :)
