Skype Introduces new WiFi Phone bundle
Posted on November 15, 2006, 3:32 pm by cipher27 under NewsThe WiFi phone market is heating up with the latest release of Skype's WiFi phone bundle in collaboration with SMC and FON.

The bundle is available from the Skype Web store at http://skype.com/shop. Priced at $160 the package includes everything from the sleek SMC Wi-Fi Phone for Skype™ (WSKP100), FON’s wireless router “La Fonera”, 500 minutes of SkypeOut™ credit and Skype Voicemail for a year. While the WiFi phone can still be used with other WiFi routers the FON router allows users to share bandwidth thus ensuring lower costs for all the users, it also ensures free access to the global community of FON Access Points in exchange. FON already has tens of thousands of access points where the SMC Skype Wi-Fi Phone can already be used. In fact, it is the world’s fastest-growing WiFi community. The release comes after NETGEAR and Belkin released their own WiFi phones earlier this year. All three vendor's phones are available at the Skype shop.
