Payday For Skype

Skype has finally decided to enter the money market and offer a pay subscription for their VoIP services.  The decision came after they logged 100 million downloads from their website.  A service called Skypeln is one of the two services now being offered by the company.  Skypeln will enable people to forward cell phone calls to a Skype number when roaming.  This will save people a great deal of money on long distance and roaming charges on people's cell phone bills.  Skype Voicemail is the second pay service and allows people to manage voicemail messages saved through VoIP communications.  Skypeeln will cost around 39 dollars a year and the Voicemail will be roughly 19 dollars for a year. According to BetaNews:

According to Skype's internal numbers, it has more than 35 milllion registered numbers, and claims 150,000 new users sign up daily.
