The new tariff plans Skype N800/N810 turn to the phone
I hope everyone knows that the Nokia N800 and N810 - no phones, and Internet Map. There is no GSM module, ie Sim card GSM operator in the internet tablet can not be inserted.
But after the new Skype unlimited tariffs for telecommunication services, everything changed. Really need a reservation - in Phone cards are not part of the CIS countries.
And now look at: Phone calls to a single European country's total of $ 4.95 / month and calls for the worldwide $ 12.95 / month. This applies only outgoing calls, calls among Skype users always free. For incoming calls will need to order the service SkypeIn, which cost $ 18 for 3 months or $ 60 per year. And, unfortunately, reserve belonging to one of the CIS countries are also not allowed.
Now consider two options. First - if you get among the lucky ones to whom the Phone tariffs, the cost of calls within your country will cost you only $ 10.95 ($ 4.95 + $ 6.00 for SkypeIn), plus Internet service provider. The second - also not too bad: for example, calls to landline phones in Ukraine $ 0.134/min, and on mobile phones, $ 0.186/min Internet service provider. For comparison - the average cost per minute from a mobile phone in urban and mobile phones about $ 0.20 per minute. A SkypeIn no sense, I think vryadli someone will call you mezhdugorodke.
And now all probably think why I write this, because from a mobile phone can make calls from anywhere, and on the Internet map just in a zone covering WiFi network. Answer is: all of this I write with a view to the future, say, America prespektiva calls where there is coverage of WiMax leaving the new Internet map Nokia WiMax, a very real within three myasyatsev. As I wrote earlier, the new board put on sale in the second quarter of 2008. With an increasing number of outlets covering - the problems overseas will not be. So in America N810 WiMax Edition may well serve as a mobile phone. In Europe, though there is coverage in some countries, WiMax, sales of the new map is expected. Therefore have to use the conventional map N800 or N810, which has already ogranichivet possibility of calls - a zone covering networking WiFi. For the CIS countries, will be optimistic - say, the coming WiMax networks and map module WiMax will take several years. Now you can use the tablet in conjunction with Skype in order to reduce the cost of calls abroad.
