With its free Skype Out promotion due to end in a few weeks, Skype today announced a new Skype Unlimited Calling plan. This is a paid annual subscription service that allows registered users to make 12 months of unlimited SkypeOut calls to any phone within the U.S. and Canada. This is the first time that Skype is making an annual subscription calling plan available anywhere in the world.

The Skype Unlimited Calling plan is available for a flat rate of $29.95 per year. Consumers can also choose to pay for SkypeOut calls at low per-minute rates (2.1 cents per minute within the U.S. and Canada).

Customers who purchase the new Skype Unlimited Calling plan at Skype's website before January 31, 2007 will get discounted pricing of $14.95, a bonus offer of 100 minutes of SkypeOut credit for making international calls and over $50 in discount coupons for purchasing Skype-certified hardware products.
