Skype offers flat rate for long distance calls

Added:
Apr 22, 2008

Skype is now offering customers unlimited calling to over a third of the world’s population with the launch of its new calling subscriptions.

The new subscriptions package marks the first time Skype has offered a single, monthly flat rate for international calling to landline numbers in 34 countries.

 

The new subscriptions have no long-term contract. You can make calls whenever you want – at any time of the day, on any day of the week.

 

Users can choose from three types of subscription – from unlimited calls to landlines in the country of your choice through to landlines in 34 destination countries worldwide.

 

Unlimited Country

Unlimited calls* to landlines in the UK

£1.95/month

Unlimited Europe

Unlimited calls* to landlines in 20 European countries

£2.95/month

Unlimited World

Unlimited calls* to landlines in 34 countries worldwide

£6.95/month

 

 

Stefan Oberg, VP & GM telecoms at Skype said: “This move is a natural step for Skype. Skype was founded on the principle of making free voice and video calls available to people all around the world. And now we’re making it even easier for the Skype community to call their friends and family who are not yet on Skype. Our subscriptions give people an easy, hassle-free choice for how and when they want to catch up with their loved ones.”

 

Oberg continued, “For example if you live in London, for just €2.95 a month, you can call your grandmother in Poland, whenever you like, talk for up to six hours at a time, and not worry about how much it’s costing you. Your grandmother doesn’t need to understand the internet. You just use your Skype subscription to make the call and she just picks up the phone. And if you have friends and family spread over the world, you can reach them all for as little as £6.95 a month. When you combine the free features Skype is known for – from instant messaging to conference calling to video calls – with our subscriptions, it’s hard to find a better alternative.”
