Verizon Wireless has agreed to allow Skype on its mobile phones beginning next month, the companies announced at the Mobile World Congress in Spain this week.
The Skype functionality will be available on nine separate devices, including BlackBerry and Android-powered phones that contain 3G capability.
“For Verizon Wireless’ more than 90 million customers, Skype mobile adds great value because we’re effectively giving customers with smartphones and data plans the option to extend their unlimited calling community to hundreds of millions of Skype users around the globe,” John Stratton, executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Verizon Wireless, said as part of the announcement.
