EDITORIAL COMMENT -
Skype, the leading VOIP company which allows global communications between computers for free and call to traditional phones at a fraction of normal prices, has a special promotion this weekend.
Aimed solely at Skype clients in Spain who want to call phones in the U.K. using the Skype Out service, the special promotion is absolutely free calls over the weekend. It runs on Saturday December 2nd and Sunday December 3rd from Midnight to Midnight – the entire 48 hours.
Alberto Lorente, Skype’s Market Development Manager for Spain and Portugal says “After the success of the Skype Tour Bus and free SkypeOut weekend calling campaigns in other countries, Skype wanted to spread its campaign to Spain, giving people free calls to UK landlines during the first weekend of December”.
To take advantage of this offer all you need is a broadband connection and to open a free Skype account at www.skype.com/go/uk/
The rise of VOIP operators must have the traditional phone companies shaking in their boots.
It’s not too early to call friends and family and wish them a Happy Christmas!
