So, remember back in June 2007 when you were living in Sweden with a mobile in your pocket with a friend in San Nicolás de los Garza? And Skype To Go made it possible for you to call your friend in this impossibly beautiful-sounding place in Mexico without burning a hole your pocket?

Well now imagine being able to do that from any phone of your choice, including your mobile, to any friend in almost any country, all through just one local phone number. We know, we know, simplicity is bliss.

Enter the new and improved To Go. It’s still a part of Skype Pro, but now you can use this one To Go number to call any of your friends almost anywhere in the world. You don’t have to sweat about which one friend to choose anymore, you can call any of them at any given time, almost anywhere they are. For the more speed-dial inclined, you can set up to 6 friends, family or colleagues.

How does the new To Go number work? It’s simple:

• Sign up to a local Skype to Go number which you can call from anywhere in your country. See below for available Skype to Go countries.
• Register online by adding up to six of your favourite friends phone numbers or Skype addresses you want to reach.
• A friendly Skype voice will also guide you on the phone to tap in a phone number or select one of your six favourite friends from your speed dial list.

What are the costs?

• Skype Pro subscription fee is €2 (€2.30 with VAT included) per month
• The cost of a local call to your Skype to Go number (maybe part of your inclusive minutes, mobile or otherwise)
• Plus the cost of the SkypeOut call to the country of destination number

The new To Go number is available in the following countries: Australia, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, UK and the US.

*Please note that To Go in Hong Kong and Japan will remain unchanged, but we are working very hard for you to be able to call more than one person from your To Go number in the future.
