That’s for unlimited calling to 34 countries—pretty nice, although you’ll be mostly restricted to calling landlines. Meanwhile, the price for the North America-only calling plan has crept up a bit.
According to Reuters (via
Yahoo! News), the $10-a-month international calling plan lets you make calls to landlines in countries such as Australia, China, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. (

For most countries, you’ll have to make calls to landlines, although you’ll be able to call cell phones in Canada, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
Meanwhile, there’s also a new $6/month plan that lets you call landlines in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, while calls to landlines elsewhere in Mexico go for two cents a minute (or 20 cents/minute to cell phone numbers).
Finally, there’s a new $3/month unlimited calling plan for U.S. and Canadian landlines and cell phones—not bad, but at about $36 a year, it’s a bit pricier than the
previous $30/month North America unlimited calling plan.
Of course, Skype-to-Skype calls are still free as can be.
So, I’m curious—how many Skype users out there have paid subscriptions for landline/cell phone calling? And who’s tempted by the new $10/month international calling plan?
