Skype Offers New Deal on Internet-to-Phone Service

The company that brought all of us free and accessible PC-to-PC phone calls, Skype, is about to launch an all-year-round deal for both wireless and landline phone calls. The new package will go for $29.95 and customers will have no extra fee during a whole year. This unlimited calling subscription is targeting the mainstream market, and will make the lives of many VoIP service providers difficult.

Currently, Skype users had to prepay for their calls, and charge their accounts once they used all of their credits. With a one-time fee, users are able to make unlimited number of calls. Skype realized that users do not want to deal with the financial aspect of the service over and over again, and buying a subscription is what people want and need. Cable companies are also featuring VoIP services, and call for high broadband connections to operate. Skype is offering a complete computer-to-phone interface, and people can use their home computers to make calls without the need for a phone set. All one needs is a computer with Skype installed on it, and that`s about it.

People that are already working with Skype can change their service status and subscribe at Skype`s website, and other users who are interested in the new service can also find useful information on the company`s site. If you are looking for a comfortable way to make calls, from any computer that has Skype installed on it, then the new Skype deal is just for you. Portability is the name of the game here, and Skype seems to be winning.
