Ever since Skype mobile debuted on Verizon Wireless smartphones back in March more and more of its customers have been using it to make free unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls and chats with others around the world.
“Skype mobile from Verizon Wireless not only takes advantage of the reliability and breadth of our wireless network, but it’s also proving to be a great option for military families with loved ones stationed overseas, people with relatives in Asia or South America, and businesses with a global presence,” said Jennifer Byrne, executive director of business development, Verizon Wireless. “And, with the World Cup starting soon, there’s no better way to talk or chat about the action with far-flung fans and family than Skype mobile.”
The real benefit of using Skyp-to-Skype for calls and chats is that they are both unlimited and free when initiated with Skype mobile from a Verizon Wireless 3G Smartphone with a data plan. Skype mobile calls made to domestic landline and wireless numbers use minutes from customers’ voice plans, and Skype mobile calls to international numbers are charged Skype’s low, international rates.
Skype mobile, currently available on 12 different smartphones, will expand to more handsets later this year, including several 3G Multimedia phones. In addition to Spanish, Skype mobile will also be available in Korean and simple Chinese, providing better ability to communicate with people around the world.
