Here’s how the Skype mobile and Verizon Wireless partnership will work:
- 3G smartphone users with a data plan can make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype voice calls to any Skype user around the world.
- Calls to international phone numbers will be at the Skype Out calling rate, if made through Skype mobile.
- Users can send and receive instant messages to other Skype users and remain connected to see friends’ online statuses.
The rollout for Skype mobile will be pretty broad, coming to existing phones like the BlackBerry Storm 9540, the Storm 2 9550, the BlackBerry Curve 8330 and 8830 models, the BlackBerry Tour 9630, plus the Motorola DROID, the HTC DROID ERIS and the Motorola DEVOUR.
