Changing the way mobile users communicate, Verizon Wireless and Skype recently announced ‘Skype mobile’ will be up for grabs this Thursday, March 25, starting with nine Verizon Wireless 3G mobile devices.
With this new service, users can experience truly unprecedented call quality. Skype mobile uses the Verizon Wireless voice network for the wireless connection of the Skype-to-Skype calls – delivering a superior calling experience.
“Skype mobile will deliver an unparalleled experience for Verizon Wireless customers. It will be the best way to enjoy unlimited conversations with Skype contacts all over the world at no extra cost. In addition, Skype mobile will allow people to easily and inexpensively make calls to landlines and mobiles abroad at Skype rates,” elaborated Russ Shaw, general manager of Mobile for Skype.
The new app offers users a simple new way to stay in touch with family, friends and business colleagues around the world. Users can now make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype voice calls to any Skype contact across the globe, and send and receive unlimited instant messages with other Skype users.
In addition, the application allows users to manage the Skype contact list directly from the mobile application and call international phone numbers at competitive Skype calling rates. Beginning Thursday, new and existing Verizon Wireless 3G smartphone users can get Skype mobile.
Skype mobile will be available initially on Verizon Wireless 3G smartphones, including the Blackberry Storm 9530, Storm2 9550, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition, and Tour 9630 smartphones, as well as Droid by Motorola, Droid Eris by HTC and Motorola Devour.
