Unlimited international calls from skype

Written on April 24, 2008 – 1:24 pm | by Sanil S

Good news Skype users!!!, they have recently introduced a unlimited plan for just $9.95. User can call internationally to 34 countries world wide. I am sure this will spurn all providers in this arena. You can now call to your relatives all over the world by spending $9.95.

Hold on, like all other providers, Skype also have some hidden things in the unlimited plan. It is not actually unlimited, restricted around to 10000 minutes. I think its more than enough for international calls for a month. Actually the cost is $12.25/month, but if you purchase a package for 3 or 12 months you will offered a 33% discount. The offer is valid till June 1’st 2008. So hurry up and grab this offer.

Skype already merchandised their products all over US and Canada. How ever still lagging very much behind in Indian markets, where the real tech geeks and internet enthusiast resides. Yes this plan is not applicable for Indians :-( .

Normally one of the main problem while using mobile web applications is the connection troubles rather than that latencies in the data network also affects application performance. Googles initiative google gears mobile solves this problem by making the mobile web application that can also work in off line mode. Google gears  is now available for internet explorer in windows mobile 5 and 6.

Then we probably get the doubt how data can be stored when the application is off line.The solution is, it use local store and when the device get online the data will be synced with server. Google gears use 2 types of syncing mechanism manual and background syncing.
