Buy 'Skype Pro' and get discount on popular Skype phones

First of all - what's Skype Pro? Well as Peter Parkes, our new Skype blogger (welcome Peter!) mentions, Skype Pro is a new calling plan from Skype, available in many European countries and in the UK. The deal's pretty simple - to paraphrase:
- Zero cents per minute calling to domestic landlines in your country — this means you can talk as long as you like and only pay the connection fee (3.9 cents or equivalent) for each call that you make to domestic landlines
- Free Skype Voicemail (normally €15 per year)
- €30 discount on SkypeIn numbers
- €5 Skype Credit included as part of the introductory offer
However, of interest from a hardware point of view are the discounts available on some interesting Skype phones and accessories such as
- A €30 discount on a Philips VoIP 841 cordless phone (£21 in the UK), which Skypegear took a look at here.
- A €10 discount on an SMC WiFi phone (£7 in the UK), which Skypegear reviewed here.
The VoIP841 is listed as coming soon in the store at present, but keep your eyes peeled for it soon.

After 3 weeks of no response from Skype Customer Service , I will "blog" to see if there may be some responce out there. I order a head set from Skype and received an empty box . After a number of emails and attempted phone calls(which is a joke...it is always busy), no one has acknowledge my problem . It really is a shame for such a wonderful alternative to the dominate phone companies to give the worst customer service imaginable.

Great package. What is the anticipated release date for Skype Pro in Australia and the US?

The Skype Pro webpage doesn't say what the Skype in discount is or if it is limited to certain companies only.
I would avoid purchasing it, especially since no refunds are given, until clear and complete information is given.
