What we expect from you. 4.2 No reselling. You agree not to resell the Products to any third party. 5. Payment and Tariff Issues 5.1 Skype Credit. To use the Products You need a sufficient balance of Skype credit, which is credit purchased by You (or an Administrator of a Business Control Panel) from Skype and allocated to Your User Account (“Skype Credit”). You must deposit sufficient Skype Credit in Your User Account through Your debit or credit card, PayPal, promotional voucher, or other means which may be made available by Skype. Skype reserves the right to stop accepting debit or credit cards from one or more issuers. Skype End User License Agreement 2. License and Restrictions 2.2 No Granting of Rights to Third Parties: You will not sell, assign, rent, lease, distribute, export, import, act as an intermediary or provider, or otherwise grant rights to third parties with regard to the Skype Software or any part thereof. As for resellers Skype do offer that service but needs approval, but since MOC doesn't allow VOIP ( read report below ) then it's not allowed to be sold in Kuwait including Co-ops. Types of resellers http://www.skyperesellers.com/case.html FYI: Where can I call with my To Go number? You can use To Go to call nearly everywhere in the world. Unfortunately, because of a precedent of fraud and misuse in certain countries, we have to limit where you can call using To Go. The list of blocked countries includes Algeria, Belarus, China, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Macedonia, Morocco, Nigeria, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, Vietnam, Serbia and Montenegro.

I read several times about how the MOC is fighting it, and this is why Yahoo! and other PC to phone cut Kuwaiti users. Because MOC wants to make money of our voice data. I'm sure some people are making lot of money under the table selling those cheap VoIP internet cards, and I don't understand why it has to be illegal. It's a useful technology. Why is international call legal? They are affecting regular mail! Heck, email is also affecting regular mail.! This is good news, I think either illegal or MOC is making commission of it.

You don't need an american issued card. Its all about how you purchase your credit online. You should use money bookers tab and follow the directions and not directly the credit card tab.
