Can you get unlimited international calls for $10/month?(2)
Yes. Starting on Monday Skype will offer unlimited international calling plan for just $10 per month. You can call any landline phone in 34 countries.
The unlimited international calling plan is nothing new. Everyone from Vonage to cable companies offer them but for a lot more money. Skype’s plan offers the lowest price to call international numbers without per minute charge. This is an expansion of Skype’s North America plan with unlimited calls to anywhere in US and Canada for $3 a month. Skye will also offer that would include part of Mexico for $6 a month. Most of European counties are included in the international plan, as well as, Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Japan, Korea and Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. Normally, people calling from US would use their computer to call. But they can also use their phone to call a local number to get international connection - the local calls are not part of the deal.
In the first quarter of this year Skype users made calls to phones for 1.7 billion minutes. Skype was acquired by eBay in 2005, but eBay is now looking to sell it off.
