Here's some good news for phone hoggers and Skype users. Reaching out and touching your family across USA and Canada is now FREE since you can save a bundle on the 2 cents per minute charge. That would mean more Americans and Canadians will be using PC headsets and Skype phones. I'd better set up a gadget shop for that to catch the wave......How does a Glow in the Dark Skype phone set sound to you ?
Skype, eBay Inc.'s Internet telephone subsidiary, has stopped charging users for dialing up people on traditional landline and mobile phones in the U.S. and Canada.
The Internet telephone service, which has always offered free PC-to-PC calls around the world, said Monday it will offer its SkypeOut service for free until the end of the year. Previously, Skype users paid about 2 cents a minute for calls to landline and mobile telephones. "Millions of consumers around the world are flocking to Skype every month, and we believe free SkypeOut calling will rapidly accelerate Skype adoption in the U.S. and Canada," said Henry Gomez, general manager of Skype North America.
