Need an unlimited international calling plan? Or just to get people talking about something other than being sold out of eBay? Skype has announced “unlimited” (yes, there is fine print) calling to over a third of the world’s population, with a monthly flat rate international calling plan to landline customers in 34 countries.

Skype’s three new subscription plans require no long-term contract and have no limitations on time of day or day of week. Unlimited calls to landlines in the European country of your choice starts at 2.95 euros per month. Unlimited landline calls to 20 European countries costs 3.95 euros per month. Unlimited landline calls to 34 countries worldwide is 8.95 euros per month. An additional 33 percent discount is available by signing up before June 1 with a 3 or 12 month plan.

And the fine print? Callers are limited up to 10,000 minutes per month – over 5 hours a day. Only the U.S. and Canada plan includes unlimited calls to cell phones and landlines; you can get a bundle of 200 minutes to landlines and cell phones in Asia for 5.95 euros per month. And to explain the Brazil rates would require another paragraph.
