Free US, Canada Skype calls
The VoIP market is expanding fast and in a bid to lure consumers away from services such as Vonage and iPhox or Alcatel, until the end of the year, eBay’s Skype is offering free calls within Canada and the US.
PC-to-PC calls were already free but users had to pay for calls to land-line or mobiles.
However, Skype will still charge for numbers dialed from any phone to Skype users, says reports.
And, “Caution!” - warns a p2pnet reader below. “Many users from IP address 7x.x.x.x are unable to use the service for free.
“Skype users might want to look up their IP address and city first. http://www.ip2location.com.”
