Tech deals: Skype offers free calls to World Cup countries

Skype is currently offering free calls to phones in the countries playing the World Cup. The offer runs until 11 July so there's plenty of time to take advantage of the offer.

The catch is that you'll have to be one of the first 100,000 people to sign up to one of its call subscriptions - so basically you're getting the first few weeks free after which you'll have to pay full whack.

However, if you call abroad a lot, Skype isn't a bad way to go about it as it's fairly cheap and there are no long-term contracts - you can in fact cancel any time.
