Today, I finished a 2 hour Skype call with my girlfriend, only to realize I was using mobile data. FML

A costly mistake, I am sure you will check next time. YDI but FYL, we have all done stuff without checking.

At least it was used on someone that matters and not on something you'd be kicking yourself over for a while. I'm sure your girlfriend appreciates it, even if your wallet won't! :P

This is why I only skype on my laptop :p Try to see if your phone can disable data from working on certain apps. I know iPhones do.

Mobile data is almost always severely limited, with no options for unlimited, or very expensive prices for a higher limit.

Oh! Makes sense. It's usually somewhat unlimited here :-)

I'm afraid to use my school's WiFi because it can't stay connected for more than 10 minutes on my phone so I feel like this is something that could easily happen to me too. FYL

Switch your mobile data off when you're in school. So if the wifi accidentally disconnects you won't use data by mistake. :)

Depending on the brand of your phone/tablet, you may be able to disable cellular data for Skype in your settings, to prevent this happening again.

Did you try to use free Wifi instead of your plan OP? I'm not sure how that works so I'm guessing.

Skype only uses 2 gigs and hour when I use data with it.... but then. I have a 20gb plan

This is why my boyfriend and I use FaceTime voice calls. They use roughly a megabyte a minute. I have 100GB on my wifi plan but he only has 15 so video calls are too data-hungry, especially when we've spent up to 7 hours a day talking.
