Verizon Wireless and Skype announced a partnership Feb. 16 that will extend Skype mobile services to Verizon customers with data plans, over the Verizon 3G network.
Beginning in March, the Skype offering will be available to qualifying customers with nine 3G smartphones — the BlackBerry Storm 9530, Storm2 9550, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition and Tour 9630, as well as the Motorola Droid, HTC Droid Eris and Motorola Devour — before later extending to other models.
The offering will allow Verizon customers to make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype voice calls to any Skype user; call international phone numbers at Skype Out calling rates; send and receive instant messages to other Skype users; and stay continuously connected and clued into friends’ online presence.
Josh Silverman, CEO of Skype, added, “Verizon Wireless will give U.S. consumers the best Skype experience on mobile phones and will truly change the way people call their friends and family internationally.”
