Here is What Skype is Saying

According to Stefan Oberg, VP & GM of Telecoms,

“With Skype Pro, we’re making it easier for our 171m registered users to buy our paid for communications products. Skype Pro lets you call landlines and mobiles all over the world for exceptional value. The combination of Skype’s free features with Skype Pro is very compelling. Along with zero per minute calling, Skype Pro includes free voicemail, a generous discount on SkypeIn numbers, attractively priced Skype devices plus five euros of SkypeOut™ credit when you sign up for five months. Skype Pro is a simple and cost-effective way for people to keep in touch with one another the world over.”

Here’s What Smith Thinks

So Skype Pro is not revolutionary. The only revolutionary pricing would be plain old VoIP service for FREE. Skype pro though, is evolutionary, and is one of (if not the) best voice communications deals out there.
