The EQO wireless Skype service for your cell phone does appear to very useful but the pricing can be a little complicated. The EQO wireless Skype service itself is absolutely free, but you will incur charges from Skype and your cell phone network provider.

The EQO wireless Skype service uses the wireless data transfer service offered by your cell phone network to communicate with your PC that is running Skype. This is the same service that you would use to connect to the internet through your cell phone or check your email. Carriers may charge $10 for 1MB of transfer but the great news is that you could make over one hundred calls with just 1MB of data transfer. The EQO wireless Skype service only uses data transfer to communicate with your PC and not to actually make the call.

* Free software that enhances your mobile phone
* Works on current phones, without needing a new contract or computer
* Uses your existing phone plan to complete calls and text messages at cheap rates
