Well done!

That's very good offer from skype. As so many people will call now to japan for knowing japanese condition and as it's free so people can enjoy it. Really well done skype.

Good.that will help many people to survive and contact.more people will know Skype.Skype will aslo gain at last.

GOOD on them for providing that service, especially to be able to connect those people with their families as not knowing that your family is safe would be horrible. Cheers Sue

Hi youless, ya, this is really a good will gesture from skype that they have provided free calling and video so that people from there and from here could chat with each other.

Wow so true on how some companies step up to provide some help great marketing idea too! Thanks for sharing.

All the people suffered from earthquakes should be helped by the world,especially the communication companies,Skype is the type,it's set a great example,wonderful!

I think that is a wonderful idea. I know that a lot of people would originally want to call but hesitate because of the cost. For them to give free calls like this, really shows that they are willing to do what they can to help whoever they can. Great job to them!!

Thanks for the information youless. After I had a brief watch at the linked site I know roughly that this is for Skype client only and it is effective via Tom-Skype4.0 or 4.2 edition. If I'm not mistaken each ID is allowed to make a single call only. This is to give opportunity to all the users. I appreciate the company has done such a good deed to offer its clients free call to contact their dear and close ones in the two mentioned places Several airline companies here today also announce to offer free tickets for 29 persons and some others who stay in Fukushima or nearby areas back to homeland

hi youless thats really great now people can check on friends and loved'ones and I do hope most all are okay when they make their calls. What a horrid time Japan has had and is still having I hope all countries who can will send aid, and food, clothing all the things that those hit the hardest will need.
