Free phone calls from Skype

Free phone calls from Skype

Skype calls to the US and Canada will be free through the end of the year. The eBay unit move is a step toward increasing its North American user base and better competing against IM/voice services from Yahoo, AOL, and others, as well as Vonage, which just launched its IPO.

This service is called Skype Out, wherein a Skype user initiates a P2P call from the user computer to a regular phone number. The call is routed to a Skype server that switches the call from the Internet to a local telephone exchange where the call is treated like a regular local phone call. Skype originally started as a pure P2P voice service that was strictly over the Internet.
Skype had about $60 million in sales last year and expects that to increases to $200 million in 2006.
