Free Calls to Anywhere, Anytime – Skype Mobile Now Offered via Verizon Network

By Kristen Belschner • April 12th, 2010

Skype Fans… for those of you that have been wondering when you’d be able to use Skpye from your mobile phone via your regular cell service plans – the time is here! Verizon recently inked a deal with Skype to provide Skype Mobile for Blackberry Phones and Android 3G Smart Phones.

Most anyone with a Smart Phone can install a Skype application and use it regularly. However, this method has always required that you be within range of a viable wifi network. For Verizon users this will no longer be necessary – you can use your Skype applications directly via your wireless network. Sorry iPhone users – we’ll have to wait for AT&T to get with the program.

Verizon Skype Mobile now allows users to do the following without a WiFi connection:

  • Free Skype to Skype calls from your Verizon Wireless smartphone with anyone in the world.
  • Skype Mobile is “always-on” so answer your Skype calls anytime from anywhere within the Verizon Network.
  • Call internationally without using your wireless plan minutes! Call global landlines and cellphones using Skype rates (very inexpensive!)

Download Skype Mobile for Verizon Smart Phones now – it’s free!

For those of you that have no idea what we’re talking about – take a first look at Skype. Skype is a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol – technology that allows telephone calls to be made over computer networks) service that allows you to dial regular phones locally and internationally using your internet connection. Just like any regular phone service you can have a phone number for people to call you at, voicemail, call-forwarding, even regular phones using Skype. Calling rates are very inexpensive – locally and internationally. When you call anyone else that also has the skype service, your calls are free anywhere in the world.

We use this service exclusively in our business. Call clarity is typically great (speaker phones sometimes throw a wrench) and very few calls get dropped. If your internet service is reliable or if you are a Verizon smartphone user, take a look at Skype.  It might save you a bundle.
