Subscription Monitor for Skype helps track your "unlimited" minutes

Subscription Monitor for Skype
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.
