Skype is rolling out new monthly calling plans, allowing subscribers to call landline and mobile phones worldwide from as little as $1.49 per month. You can now call your friends and family anywhere in the world at effective rates as low as $0.01 per minute to many destinations around the globe.
Skype is rolling out calling plans to more than 170 countries that provide customers with a savings of up to 60 percent compared to Skype’s standard Pay As You Go rates.
Customers will also have more choice with subscription plans available in 60-minute to unlimited packages, and the ability to buy 1-month, 3-month and 12-month calling subscriptions.
With the new subscriptions, Skype users have the flexibility to customize their calling plans in three steps
- Select the countries you want to call
- Decide whether you want to call mobile phones, landlines or both
- Choose the plan that best suits your needs from 1-month to 12-months or 60 minutes to unlimited
“Skype’s new monthly subscriptions lower the cost of international calling and make it simple to choose the plan that best meets your needs,” said Neil Stevens, General Manager of Skype’s Consumer Business Unit.
“People around the world can now have the simplicity and flexibility to call almost any phone in the world for less.”
Skype now accounts for 12 percent of the world’s international calls according to TeleGeography Research.
Skype users can continue to call mobile phones and landlines globally without subscriptions by purchasing Skype Credit and using the Pay As You Go option. Skype will also continue to offer its popular unlimited world monthly subscriptions.
