In theory you can make calls and send IMs without every paying a penny. Ever
From a compatible, unlocked 3G handset anyone can use Skype via the 3 SIM, and calls and IMs to other Skype users cost nothing.
It's an expansion of 3's partnership with Skype, which started with a bundling of the VoIP service and has also included a 'Skype' phone made by INQ.
Currently, 3 UK’s growing Skype community of 355,000 users makes 58.9 minutes each of free Skype-to-Skype calls every day.
“Earlier this year in a world first we opened up our network and enabled our customers to access Skype,” said David Kerrigan, Head of Internet Services at 3 UK.
“Expanding this offer, our SIM launch makes it possible for anyone with a 3G handset to take advantage of free Skype calls without conditions or restrictions. It’s simple - if you want to talk on mobile for free, just pop in a free 3 SIM and give it a go.”
