Innovative, Disruptive, Exciting and Cost Effective Plan Announced

Comment comment by tomtolman on 21 January 2007

Well, it was almost announced. They haven't listed prices yet, but Skype says they will now offer monthly plans similar to Vontage. Currently they only offer unlimited plans and per minute plans. From the AP story:

The Internet phone service Skype is introducing new domestic calling plans for 24 countries, plus Hong Kong, where users will pay a monthly subscription and a connection fee but no per-minute charges.

The monthly fees for the new Skype Pro plans have not yet been finalized, but they were expected to be set at less than 5 euros, or about $6.50, an executive told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

The per-call connection fee for Skype Pro calls within a given country to a regular phone or mobile device within that same country will be 3.9 euro cents, or roughly 5 U.S. cents, said Stefan Oberg, general manager for Skype Telecoms.

I think that it's going to be pretty hard to compete with themselves. Why wouldn't you just sign up for the unlimited plan for $15?
