Where can I find out how much a Skype Number costs...

Question

So, I get an email on Skype numbers. I click because I am interested and all I get in a bunch of fluff about how great it is. There is nothing that I can find about cost, anywhere.  Is it under prices?  No, or at least I did not that I see after clicking on every single option.  
What is Skype hiding?  The information should be there after I click from the email or at the very least after one additiona click.  I shouldn't have had to go here to the community board to find out, and yet the only search that generated the information was the one here on the Community Board.
Enough of this manipulative crap. Skype needs to honest.  Because of Skype's lack of transparency -- that i cannot be sure what I am buying -- my opinion of Skype is the lowest possible.

Hi, JohnB47,
Please permit me to clarify:

So, my understanding is that all I would pay is the ongoing subscription for the phone number,  
Correct!  A Skype Number subscription is not bundled with other subscriptions or features.  However, if you purchase a subscription first, a Skype Number is offered at a discounted price.

Correct!  You will need either to Buy Skype credit or a Skype subscription in order to cover the costs of calls placed to fixed lines or mobile numbers from Skype.

As long as outgoing call costs can be covered by the call subscription you purchase, there should be no additional costs.  If you do attempt to place a call which falls outside what the call subscription covers, you will see a pop-up message indicating you would need to purchase credit to cover those charges.
To gain a clearer understanding of Skype subscriptions, I recommend a read through this FAQ article: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10414/how-do-subscriptions-work
