Skype and mobile operator 3 have apparently decided it's time they got together and allowed us to connect with each other – via their new 3 Skypephone. This 3G (obviously) enabled Internet phone can be used both as a normal mobile phone and also to make Skype calls. The best part is that users can make free Skype-to-Skype calls and send free Skype instant messages. This is the first time an operator has offered a mass-market device which is tailormade for free calling over the Internet using a mobile.
The 3 Skypephone will be out in November in the UK, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Macau and Sweden. Free Skype-to-Skype calls will be available only if you are on contract with (or have enough balance with) the service. The 3 Skypephone is expected to cost £49.99 (approximately Rs 4,050) on a PAYG tariff or free on contract. I guess we’ll just have to wait and watch to see if it’ll be coming to our shores. Stay tuned. |
