Skype version 3 full release with free phone calls

We blogged on the 2nd December about Skype 3 and the fantastic new features due to be released. Well the good news is that today it was released in full. One of the best additions is click to call for FireFox and Internet Explorer. Any phone number on a website turns into a clickable skype button - with free calls to UK landlines for six months if you spend £10.00, this is a must have.

If you're in the US don't worry - you can get unlimited calls to any US number for just $14.95 for the year (sign up before the end of January; normal price is $29.95). It's likely that calling plan offers similar to this will be introduced in the UK once the six months free calls are up. Skype are concentrating on building a customer base and will look to monetise it in the future.
