Skype Arrives on Verizon Phones Tomorrow

Beginning tomorrow, Skype will be made available for download on 9 Verizon Wireless phones – 6 Blackberry models, and 3 Android handsets. Interestingly, this isn’t the traditional Skype experience we’re used to. International calls are handled as you’d expect, being routed over the data network at reasonable Skype Credit rates. But domestic calling doesn’t seem to be included. Beyond Skype-to-Skype calls, which are actually routed over Verizon’s voice network. So if you’d like to save money on overseas calls, text SKYPE to 2255 and Verizon will let you know when and where you can download the VoIP app.
