Subscription Monitor for Skype helps track your "unlimited" minutes

VoIP service Skype gives you the ability to make cheap phone calls from your computer. Users can either pay by the minute or sign up for subscription plans that offer unlimited calling. But there's unlimited, and then there's unlimited.

Skype actually limits the unlimited plans to 10,000 minutes per month and 6 hours a day. You're also not supposed to dial more than 50 phone numbers in a single day. If you exceed those limits, you'll have to pay normal SkypeOut rates.

But while the Skype client shows pay per minute customers exactly how much money is left in their accounts, there's no clear indicator to let monthly subscribers know if they're close to reaching the limits. That's where Subscription Monitor for Skype comes in. This free third party app can track your daily and monthly usage, as well as the number of phone numbers you've called.
