Skypephone goes mobile
Published January 18, 2008 at 4:43 pm · Filed under Comms / IT
The 3 Skypephone looks like any other mobile phone, with one glaring exception: the large dedicated Skype button at the centre of the keypad. Available from mobile network operator 3, this is the first mass market mobile phone that can be used to make both conventional calls and free Skype-to-Skype calls and instant messages. With Skype built-in, users can make mobile calls to 246 million registered Skype users anywhere in the world at the touch of a button. The only limitation is that the calls must be Skype-to-Skype:
Skype In and Skype Out are not supported. The 3 Skypephone is available for £49.99 on a Pay As You Go tariff or free on a contract.
