This is going to be a very good news for Skype users in U.S. and Canada. Starting from 15th July, all Skype users in both countries can make free international SkypeOut calls to United Kingdom, Mexico and Japan. SkypeOut means that you will be able to call to traditional landlines and mobile phones in those selected countries for FREE! Why only 3 countries? According to Skype surveys, the three countries represent some of the most frequently called countries by Skype users. This free service is available weekends July 15-16, July 22-23 and July 29.30, respectively. If you happen to be in U.S or Canada now, make sure to fire up your computer and download the Skype software now. It is available in 27 languages and is used almost in every country around the world.
