Well the world Voip (Voice over Internet Protocol) leader, Skype announced a Unlimited world plan which brings unlimited calls to landline phones in 34 countries including Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Japan, etc. It also includes the mobile phone numbers of Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore & USA. Good enough, isn’t it? But the question is price of this subscription. One day back when Yahoo AP first announced this news they included:

The plan will allow unlimited calls to land-line phones in 34 countries for $9.95 per month, said Don Albert, vice president and general manager for Skype North America.

But today when I checked the price of the Unlimited World plan on Skype’s site, the rates were different there. I saw banner that was showing a price tag of $12.95 per month for Unlimited World plan. Even few hours ago lifehacker also wrote an article with $9.95 as price.

The Unlimited Country plan banner showed a total of $5.95 per month per country. This $3 difference is still a mystery that - Has the rate been increased in just one day? or Skype has different rates for different locations?.

The skype-to-skype calls remains free as always.
