Here's something interesting for Verizon Wireless subscribers, soon you'll be able to fire up Skype Mobile and make a call right over 3G, now this is something long over due and I'm quite happy to see Verizon of all the other networks opening up to allow users to have a greater deal of freedom. I'd say hats off to Verizon but I don't wear hats sadly.


A joint press conference held by Skype and Verizon today at MWC, unveiled the most wanted feature of making none hacking VOIP calls over Verizon 3G network via Skype, this is good news as all one needs right now is unlimited 3G, a friend with Skype and making calls would be awesome again, no more checking the damn credit. Skype Mobile for Verizon will make its debut next month, but will not be readily available on every handset with the ability to support it, so far only the Motorola DROID, Motorola DROID Eris, BlackBerry 8530, BlackBerry 9530, BlackBerry 9550, and BlackBerry 9630 are the stated supported handsets, more should follow soon after.



Here are a few things to expect:


*The ability to make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype voice calls to any Skype user around the globe on America's most reliable wireless network;
*The ability to call international phone numbers at competitive Skype Out calling rates;
*The ability to send and receive instant messages to other Skype users;
*Remain always connected with the ability to see friends' online presence

There you go you Verizon Wireless loving hippies, saddle up and get ready to Skype your problems away. Now only if Verizon would just free up the network completely, that would be commendable, doubtful, but commendable nonetheless.
