Free calls within the US and Canada to all
phones.
Hello,
Calls to friends and family on Skype have
always been free. Now we've made calls within the
US and Canada to all phones totally free till the
end of the year.
Starting from today it doesn't matter if
it's a Skype-to-Skype call or a call to landline
or mobile phone - it's free as long as you're
calling from within the US or Canada to US or
Canadian phone number.

Did all Skype users get the same email?

Yep. This is real. I just made some calls to real phones to test if I'd
get charged. It appears to be free to call anywhere in the United States or
Canada.
This is a pretty nice service for cruisers now and until the end of 2006.
It is just one more reason to get unlimited digital data service for your
cell phone. With unlimited data, you can use Skype to make free calls 24/7
to any regular phone in the US or Canada. No more waiting until 9pm or
weekends to make that call...
