Skype-To-Go Now Available In Canada

26. Feb, 2010 4 Comments

Skype has added a few Canadian area code numbers for its Skype-To-Go service. The area codes for now are 438, 514, 647, and 778 (so basically Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver).

Skype-To-Go Area Codes for Canada

Skype-To-Go is a service whereby you can call a local number through your regular phone, which will allow you to use your cheap Skype long distance credit (if you have any) to make long-distance calls. You will still be charged for regular minutes usage through your provider, but at least they will be local minutes instead of long-distance.

With Skype offering an unlimited Canada and the US calling plan for $2.95 a month, this basically allows you to get free unlimited long distance for that amount. Not bad.

To enable the Skype-To-Go feature, simply log in to Skype, click on “Account” and then “Skype-To-Go”.

One can only wonder what this means for Canadian Skype-In numbers…

    They have just added the 613 area code. But it is no use for me, when I call the number, it is considered long distance even though I am on the same 613 area code :S

    Same thing..Ottawa access number is ld so the service is useless

    Eureka..For Ottawa access obtain the area code 819 access number, it is local to Ottawa/Hull whereas the 613 number is Athens, Ontario serving 500 very nice and Skype privileged people, 300 sheep and Charleston Lake Provincial Park.

    Likewise with the 519/226 area code for me (near London) the numbers for 2 go are based out of Kitchener/Waterloo which is still long distance for me
