Skype kills plans to charge for 3G calling next year
by Justin Horn on Jul 21st, 2010 @ 3:22 pmSkype released their updated iOS 4 app today, but the even better news is they no longer plan to charge for 3G calling next year as they previously stated.
At Skype, we believe that better call quality and better availability (which is achieved with an app capable of multitasking and/or making calls over 3G) lead to increased call frequency and longer calls. We also believe that the mobile world is in a period of significant change, for example, with some operators starting to move to tiered pricing models.
In light of that, we no longer have plans to charge a supplement to make calls over 3G. We’re delighted to make it easier for you to talk for even longer and do even more together using Skype.
