Skype And 3 – Free Mobile Calls For Business?
Partnership between Skype and 3 brings free calls on VoIP mobile handset.
Skype and mobile phone operator 3 have announced a partnership deal that allows free VoIP calls on a mobile. The 3 Skypephone is a fully-featured 3G Internet phone with Skype built in. In addition to free calls between Skype users, the phone makes conventional calls and can be used to access internet services.
At the moment the offer is restricted to pay-as-you-go tariffs which are not well suited to business. It’ll also be interesting to see how reliable Skype is over mobile 3G. Nevertheless, the possibility of businesses being able to make free mobile phone calls with Skype-enabled staff, suppliers or customers is an attractive prospect, albeit one that is not quite here yet.
