If you’re a Verizon customer with a smartphone and a data plan, you can now download Skype mobile

It’ll help you stay in touch with friends, family and colleagues all over the world, by allowing you to:

• make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype voice calls to anyone else on Skype around the globe
• send and receive unlimited instant messages with other people on Skype
• call international phone numbers at our low rates

Today, the app will work on BlackBerry Storm 9530, Storm2 9550, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition and Tour 9630 smartphones, as well as DROID by Motorola, DROID ERIS by HTC and the Motorola DEVOUR. We’ll add support for more phones and platforms later this year.

Skype mobile uses the Verizon Wireless voice network for the wireless connection of the Skype-to-Skype calls, giving you a reliable connection and top-notch call quality.

Skype-to-Skype calls will not be charged against your monthly minute allowance or data plan. To make calls to international landline or mobile numbers, you’ll need to buy Skype Credit.

Download the app now to put the planet in your pocket.
