As the World Cup begins to really heat up, Skype decided to offer a special promotion to all the dedicated fans around the world who use Skype. Basically, for a month, Skype users will be able to communicate to one another in any country participating in the World Cup. Some countries will only allow 60 minutes of free talk, 120 minutes of free talk, or unlimited minutes of talking. As a special bonus for American Skype users who are football (soccer) fans, they will be able to make free and unlimited calls to not only landlines, but cell phones as well. After the month is over, normal rates will apply. It seems Skype hopes the promotion will raise awareness about the Skype service as well as promoting some healthy competition between competing countries. Check out the list below for a complete list of countries that contain free minutes.
