Visitors will be able to make free calls from the bus
The free Internet phone company Skype has brought a special bus to Marbella. From today until December 3 visitors will be able to see how easy it is to make free calls and to try out other services such as video calling and instant messaging.

The bus also has the latest products from Plantronics, Philips and Hewlett Packard.

The event will be launched this morning by Alberto Lorente, who is the Skype manager for Spain and Portugal. “We want people to see how easy Skype is to use. While Skype to Skype calls are completely free, we want to show how cost effective it is to keep in touch with family and friends all over the world who may not have access to a computer.”, he said.

There are over 136 million registered Skype users across the world.

The bus will be in Marbella near Calle Arias Maldonado.

I use it as do various friends and associates and it is excellent.
It cuts out after about 45 minutes, but my wife happily chats to her sister in Cornwall and you just dial back again.
I chat regularly to a friend in Jo'burg.
