3 Skypephone - 3 Launch Skype Mobile Handset
VoIP big boys Skype have joined forces with mobile network 3 to launch a revolutionary new Skype Mobile Phone imaginatively called 3 Skypephone. The new Voice over IP (VoiP) handset will launch on 2nd November in Italy and the UK with Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong and Sweden coming soon.
Calls using the 3 Skypephone to standard Skype users are free but you will need to be a Pay As You Go or Contract user of the 3 Network.
Calls on the 3 Sypephone are truly free, there are no calling charges, no data charges and no need to buy an extra add-on. It’s FREE calls to anyone, anywhere at anytime.
The handset will come in 3 colours and will sport the following features:
- 2 Megapixel camera
- Photo editing and effects function
- Video capture
- MP3 player
- Inbuilt equalizer which enhances reproduction delivering great bass
- Simple navigation for browsing the library
This is a big move by a mobile network provider as it will open up the potential to eat into their calling revenues. It will be interesting to see how this takes off and shows us again that 3 are embracing the new era of mobile communication.
