Is this really big news? The Skype for Android client has supported Skype calls for over one year. It works around the carriers' limitations by initiating an outbound call to a toll-free Skype number.
Every day, I happily roll down the highway at 75mph talking to my Skype contacts in Europe and Asia.
How is this any different for me? (Note: it's much cheaper for Skype, because they can now offer the same functionality without maintaining the toll-free local numbers that they need to maintain today.)
- e1ven 17y agoThis allows you to avoid using outgoing minutes entirely. At that point, you can use use skype-out minutes without paying for Both the Skype cost, as well as the Verizon per minutes cost. Further, if Verizon allows a data-only plan, you would be able to use it without missing out on voice calls.
