So, if you’re a Skype user in India and you need to make some holiday calls over to the US and Canada, you will be able to do so for free until March 1, 2015. Thus, users can call either landline or mobile phones and don’t need to go through any special set-up process other than having a Skype account. Starting from today, Indian Skype users have two months and a half to make use of this great deal. Since India is such a popular country for outsourcing, many could be looking to profit from this deal. However, Microsoft informs that the business use, such as in call centers, is prohibited, the promotion being targeted at regular customers. Your existing subscription, if you have some, will not be affected whatsoever: If, during the Offer Period, you have a Skype subscription with a fixed-minutes allowance (e.g. 120 minutes per month) that includes calls from India to landlines and mobiles in the U.S. and Canada then your minutes allowance will not be used for qualifying calls made during the Offer Period. However, your subscription will still end at the specified time (e.g. after one month for a 120 minutes per month subscription) even if you have not used your full minutes allowance; unused minutes cannot be carried forward beyond the end of the subscription period.
