Shoppers can purchase a $US20 card and redeem it for Skype credit to make i international calls. Another prepaid card is available for $8.85 that gives three-months of unlimited Skype calls to any landline or cellphone number in the US and Canada on the Skype Unlimited Calling Plan. Up to nine different Skype Certified hardware products are available within branded Skype Internet Communications sections within Wal-Mart stores' electronics department. Shoppers will find Skype certified headsetsUS30 from Plantronics, Philips, Logitech and more. According to Skype, the relationship represents the first time a retailer has brought together Skype Certified hardware and prepaid cards for Skype under one dedicated section. "This relationship with Wal-Mart will increase exposure for Skype and our hardware partners," said Don Albert, vice president and general manager of Skype North America.
