The new service uses credit that you can obtain either through in-app purchases or vi credit card if you are a desktop user. All the credit can be then used on Android, iOS or desktop client.

As a result, the prices are substantially lower than Skype for users located in many countries. The company wants to provide HD audio at a very competitive price. These low prices are going to cause some noise on other providers of similar Internet calling services, and it’s possible that in the next days we see some kind of response.
