Happy Birthday, Skypeout!

[Guest Mr. HiTech]

Happy Birthday, SkypeOut!

We’re celebrating because our SkypeOut service for calling landlines and mobile phones is 1 year old.

Happy Birthday, SkypeOut!

To celebrate we have lowered our SkypeOut rates in over 20 countries*. We have also added 6 new countries to the SkypeOut Global Rate (China, Greece, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Poland and Switzerland). We hope you’ll be able to spend even less on calls now.

We always try to keep SkypeOut rates as low as possible but due to some regional rate changes, we have had to increase our rates a bit for Saudia Arabia, Papua New Guinea, Oman, Lichtenstein and Haiti. You will still be able to call at the current cheaper rate until 9 am (GMT) on September 1 this year.

How do you get started with SkypeOut?

If you would like to find out more about SkypeOut or top-up your account, you can do both in our online store.

Have a look around our new store

You might also notice that we have a new accessories store where you can stock up on headsets or phones that you might want to use with Skype. You’ll find everything in here from top-of-the-range cordless phones, to our Skype Starter Kit (an easy way to get you or your friends up and running on Skype).

Thank you

Everyone here at Skype
