If I had a Skype app on a smartphone, could it call any phone with a regular telephone number, or does it only talk to another Skype app?

According to money.cnn. Com, in its report dated February 16, 2010, it was stated that : "With the free Skype Mobile application, Verizon (VZ, Fortune 500) smartphone users can make and receive unlimited free calls to other users who have Skype. They can also use it to call any international phone number at Skype's standard rates, which are much lower than Verizon's international wireless calling rates.

Calls abroad through Skype start at 2.1 cents per minute, and monthly unlimited packages are also available. The app will also let Skype users exchange instant messages.

You can call any number anywhere in the world as long as you have the right credits on your Skype VoIP service.

Good question. I have a friend who has a Droid, he told me he uses Skype to bypass using minutes with Verizon. I do believe as long as you have a Skype plan, you'll be able to make calls to landlines as well.

If you don't have a plan, it'll only be Skype to Skype. It seems that it's like having yahoo messenger on your phone. They basically say you'll get to do everything you can with your Skype account.

You're logging into that, so I'm assuming that if you have a paid plan with Skype you'll be able to make landline calls. Skype plans are very reasonably priced. For a month of unlimited U.S.Landline calls it's 5.95 , For their "Unlimited World" plan it's 12.95 a month.

Which is very nice if you ask me, I personally pay well over 200 dollars for 3 phones on a family plan with 700 minutes shared.

Yes it can make calls to any kind of phone. If you are using it for personal better choose the options of cent per minute, but if for business choose the monthly billing which is unlimited. It is better to be aware of choosing VoIP provider in the provider.

Choose provider that has several options to fit your needs.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
