UK: 3 does ‘zero pound’ tariff, includes free Skype
By Ben Robinson on Monday, June 15th, 2009 at 2:32 PM PST In Three, UK News
According to Mobiletoday.co.uk, 3UK has launched the first ‘zero pound’ SIM-only tariff – which gives customers free Skype too (if they use a 3 phone). The deal comes in on June 17, and further builds out 3’s selection of tariffs which have Skype inclusive.
Apparently it’s a rolling tariff, so customers have only 1 month lock-in with the deal – a nice touch I think. But more interesting is the fact that Three seem to be on some kind of a mission to give customer massive amounts of free minutes (albeit with some limitations on who is being called). Ostensibly though, Skype on 3UK is now very similar, cost-wise, to Skype as you would use it on the InterWeb.
Whether this is going to take off is hard to tell – what do the IntoMobile readership think?

Some one drop a leaflet through the letter box of a website known as http://www.domesticutilities.com which had free calls forever to beat the credit crunch so i visited and find out about free calls between skype to skype users.
