Hey, Why don't u change the SkypeOut rates to India. We have more than 50 million Indian people living abroad. I think, on the long run..Skype will benefit a lot from Indian expatriates who reach out to call their loves ones in India!! I talk atleast 20 min per day to my mom!! I and several other Indians would definately appreciate the move!!

I would like to see ROMANIA added to the SKYPEOUT GLOBAL RATE. Right now I can get same rate somewhere else.

Hi, Your global rates are brilliant, but to places like Finland, where they have pretty much abolished land lines so everyone has to use mobiles, it's not much use having cheap/free calls if mobile calls aren't included!?
