We want to give you the very best of Skype free for a month. It’s an offer you can only get through this free trial and includes an unprecedented amount of features that’ll make it easier to catch up with those you love. So don’t worry about how long you talk, running out of minutes or what it’ll cost — it’s our gift to you, and it’s only available for a limited time.
Call phones
Free unlimited2 worldwide calling is a great way to keep in touch with people anywhere. Say ‘hello’ to anyone with a landline in over 40 countries or call mobile phones in 7 countries, including the United States and Canada. See the full list of countries below.
Make group video calls³
No matter where they are, get up to 10 people together on the same group video call. It’s a perfect way to gather the family for face-to-face catch ups or get together with friends anywhere in the world.
Share your screen
Group screen sharing makes it easy to share pictures and videos with everyone at the same time. Or, play “tech support” for your entire family.
Plus, you’ll get everything else included in Skype Premium, including one-to-one customer support.
