Skype introduces overseas phone service
NEW YORK – Skype, the internet calling subsidiary of eBay Inc., is introducing its first plan for unlimited calls to overseas phones.
The plan will allow unlimited calls to landline phones in 34 countries for US$9.95 per month, said Don Albert, vice president and general manager for Skype North America.
The countries include most of Europe, plus Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Malaysia.
Calls to domestic landlines and cell phones are included as well, as are calls to cell phones in Canada, China, Hong Kong and Singapore, but not cell phones in other countries.
Skype is generally used as a software application running on a computer equipped with a microphone and speakers or a headset. But subscribers will also have the option to call a local number from their phones and be connected to international numbers that fall under their plan, paying only local access charges or using their cell-phone airtime.
