Skype is becoming more open to service users.

Today, during the joint presentation of Microsoft and Nokia in New York, the two companies will announce new mobile devices created in close cooperation. At the same time, Microsoft should announce that Skype users can buy Skype Credits from their mobile operators. Probably, so far this does not apply to all countries and not all operators, but the news is interesting.

Not so long ago, if you remember, on Habré news was published that cellular operators are going to "cut" Skype-traffic. After the company Skype was bought by Microsoft, the situation has changed somewhat. The Redmond giant has begun negotiations with operators, and the "persecution" of Skype by the companies - telecom operators has so far ceased. On the contrary, Skype is getting closer to traditional telephony.

Today, most likely, we will hear about the integration of Skype into the Windows Phone system. It is worth noting that the agreement of Microsoft Corporation on the possibility of payment by subscribers of applications from the Windows Marketplace was signed with Mach. Among other companies that have entered into an agreement with Microsoft is Australian Telstra and Canadian Telus.

Mach services are used by about 650 telecom operators worldwide, so we can expect even more popularization of Skype. Now you can pay for Skype Credits without any problems at all, and Skype is likely to become an even more popular service.

And yes, recent studies have shown that Skype has about one in three minutes of overseas calls. Not so long ago, the service turned 9 years old, and the success of Skype is very impressive.
