Skype Will be Free For Seven Months

May 15th, 2006 | Joel | Web Services

Skype has announced that it will be providing Internet to land phones or mobile calls for free until the end of this year. The only restriction is that calls have to be made within the United States or Canada.

Here are a couple of the highlights of Skype 2.0 as stated at the Skype website:

  • Free calls within the US and Canada to all phones until the end of the year.
  • Our best ever call quality.
  • Smile, wave or say hello to anyone, anywhere in the world with free one-to-one video conversations.
  • Easily sort your contacts into groups like ‘colleagues’, ‘friends’ and ‘family’.
  • Display mood messages and your local time, so people know where you are and how you’re feeling.
