Skype Offers Unlimited Calling Plan - $2.95 a Month

Skype announced plans to expand its unlimited long-distance calling service to landlines and mobile phones allowing its U.S. and Canadian customers to pay $2.95 a month for unlimited calls within and between these two countries.

Skype, owned by eBay, offers free computer-to-computer calls between Internet users and up until today maintained a number of different pricing tiers that would allow computer users to place calls to landlines and cell phones.

In a press release, Skype stated, "The new subscriptions have no long-term contract. You can make calls whenever you want – at any time of the day, on any day of the week." And taking a not-so-subtle jab at mobile company’s pricing policies, Skype claimed, "You will only pay one flat monthly fee. There are no hidden costs or additional connection charges."

This latest offering also expands its unlimited service to 34 countries, including China and Germany, for $9.95 a month.
