We just announced that SkypeOut is now free within the US and Canada to all landlines and mobiles, until at least the end of 2006.

It seems that due to a surge in tryouts, many users are finding that specific IP ranges are not allowing them to make the free calls. Skype says that calls must be made from within the US or Canada and must be made to a number within US or Canada. According to a long thread on Skype's website, many users in the IP range of 70.x.x.x to 79.x.x.x are not able to place the free SkypeOut calls.

Hello,
Calls to friends and family on Skype have always been free. Now we've made calls within the US and Canada to all phones totally free till the end of the year.

Starting from today it doesn't matter if it's a Skype-to-Skype call or a call to landline or mobile phone - it's free as long as you're calling from within the US or Canada to US or Canadian phone number.
