After the announcement of Microsoft’s mobile arm launching Lumia 730, a new smartphone; Skype is going to stop calls within India from 10th of November 2014. The Skype users might have worried after hearing this news; but don’t worry, stay with your Skype and make free calls from Skype to Skype internationally to India and vise-e-versa on mobile and landline. But what about within India; get in with me…
Well, we almost know that telecom service providers and operators in India are crying due to booming of Smartphone apps and their free (or less chargeable) calling / interacting features. However, Microsoft’s announcement on switching off the Skype calling facility within India (both from landline and mobile); whilst launching of its new Smartphone Lumia 730 in Indian market very soon creates some puzzle definitely.
What Microsoft said about Lumia 730 is, the Skype features are enabled in it. With this Smartphone only the Skype users communicate their Skype-mates within India. In addition, Skype WiFi and SMS facility will also be there for Indian users. Or else, there are no more changes; they can continue their voice and video calls worldwide.
The reason did not clarify the actual meaning of switching off and launching at a time; however it will be worthy if the price of new Smartphone Lumia 730 suits the Indian consumers.
