Skype

Are you fed-up with the cost of local and international phone calls? Well, if that’s the case, then a partnership between Plantronics and Skype has just the answer.

Plantronics is the world’s leading manufacturer of communication headsets and Skype is the leading Internet telephony software, which currently has over 6 million users worldwide with thousands more joining daily. These two companies have joined forces to revolutionise the way we communicate and make talking to colleagues, friends and family cheaper and much more fun for everyone.

Skype allows you to call or text someone at another computer anywhere in the world – securely and free! In order to maximise the superior sound quality, it’s crucial to use a Plantronics headset, so people can hear you clearly and you can hear them.

Internet telephony is an ideal solution for traveling business professionals who need an economical, convenient way to stay in touch with customers and co-workers while they are traveling. Hotels often charge for each call made with a calling card (not to mention the toll charges incurred against the card), and many don’t support basic telephony features like conference calling. Mobile phones provide much-needed “untethered” service, but even the best mobile phone service can encounter dead zones and access roaming charges. How can the business traveller use readily available technology to cost-effectively retain the same high quality telephony service they experience in the office?

Using a VoIP application such as Skype for Internet telephony, business travellers can simply and cost-effectively enjoy telephony service with features that significantly increase productivity on the road. Travelers can take advantage of flat fee Internet access—offered in most hotel rooms, airports and even coffee shops—and make nearly unlimited calls from their laptop without incurring long-distance tolls from carriers.

The new SkypeOut service offers global calling at local rates. The service allows Skype users to pre-pay and use their PC and Internet connections to call landlines and mobile phones anywhere in the world at hugely reduced costs.
