To use the newly introduced service a person should find Skype under category «Telephony, IP Telephony» in the Qiwi terminal or Qiwi Wallet application menu, enter their Skype name and insert the bills into the terminal or input the top-up amount into the application. The service will also be available to Qiwi Wallet users, who would be able to top-up their Skype Credit wherever they are using a mobile application or web version of Qiwi Wallet.
