Free SkypeOut VOIP calls to landlines within North America

Bob Russell · 05-17-2006, 05:43 PM

Skype is, of course, the VOIP service that lets you make free phone calls to other Skype users over the internet. SkypeOut is the service that is offered by Skype that let's you call regular telephones, in addition to those using internet calls via their broadband internet connection. That's common knowledge. So what's new?

The recent announcement which is pretty exciting, especially for Skype users, is that Skype Out is free within the US and Canada for the rest of the year. "If you’re in the US or Canada, you can use SkypeOut to call any landline or mobile number in both the USA and Canada for free.

If you’re in the US or Canada and calling any other country, OR if you’re in any other country and calling landline or mobile numbers in the US or Canada, the standard SkypeOut rates apply.

Of course, Skype-to-Skype calls continue to be globally free, so no changes there."

Check out the news at Skype's blog and other site info:
* Free calls to all landlines and mobile phones within the US and Canada
* Free North American phone calls: update on availability
* SkypeOut
