14 DAY TRIAL // After announcing the 2.5 version of the application, the Skypecasts and the new 'Personal Interpreter' service, Skype, the VoIP company, came with fresh news.
Skype announced that starting Monday, all US and Canada customers will be able to make free SkypeOut calls to traditional landline and mobile phones.
The company anticipates that completely free calling in the US and Canada will expand Skype's increasing penetration in North America and solidify its position as the Internet's voice communication tool of choice.
"Millions of consumers around the world are flocking to Skype every month, and we believe free SkypeOut calling will rapidly accelerate Skype adoption in the US and Canada," said Henry Gomez, General Manager, Skype North America.
The company's press release mentions that although in the US and Canada the calls will be free of charge, the rest of customers will still have to pay for them. However, Skype continues to tout the charges as being the lowest in the industry.
Skype 2.5 Beta has been certified by Softpedia as being 100% CLEAN and is available here.
