Skype Mobile Phone Now Available Title: Skype Mobile Phone Now Available

For someone who is very addicted to Skype to maintain my long distance relationship with my wife in Toronto (for 3 years now), you can't imagine how delighted I am with the launch of Skype mobile phone.

The low-cost advantage inherent in VoIP services and the power of mobility is a deadly combination that can shake and shape the future of the wireless industry.

Dubbed as 3 Skyphone, it is a collaboration between eBay's VoIP company Skype and mobile phone group 3. It will be available for a price of £49.99 for "Pay As You Go" customers and free for monthly subscribers.

Moreover, the 3 Skypephone will be available this year in the UK, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland, Macau and Sweden.

Will it be available in the U.S.? Sorry to disappoint you guys for 3 Skypephone is dual band and therefore will not work in the USA.

But don't lose hope for this is just the beginning of something great for mobile consumers. 3 may not be able to do that but there are other startup VoIP companies developing this same concept for the American market.



As expected, there are some flaws in this new Internet mobile phone. Go over to Skype Journal to know what's missing in this revolutionary device.

Mobile Vending Machines at the Airport. Will it Work? Title: Mobile Vending Machines at the Airport. Will it Work?

Mobile phones are certainly everywhere. Telecom and cellular services provider 011 Mobile now sells mobile phones and SIM cards via touch screen vending system at the Terminal 2 of Las Vegas' McCarran Airport.

Designed like a giant cellphone, it is specifically intended for international travelers looking for cheaper alternative to make calls compared with other pre-paid calling cards and paying roaming charges. The company claims its rates are similar to landline calls.




Based on its initial performance, SIM cards contributed 60% of the sales. Both SIM card and mobile phones work immediately upon purchase and consumers can use their credit cards to buy time.

However, this channel may not survive over the long run given the rapid developments in the mobile Internet. Why change your SIM card or buy a new phone if you can download a software like cellity worldCALL to make cheap long distance calls?
