Sify introducing new lower Credit prices for Skype

Sify Technologies Limited, a provider in managed enterprise, network, IT and applications services in India with global delivery capabilities today announced that Sify.com will facilitate the introduction of 3 new India exclusive price-points for purchasing Skype Credit. These new price-points of Rs. 30, Rs. 60 and Rs. 120 will be available exclusively on the website of Sify. Skype Credit can be used to make calls from Skype in India to mobiles and landlines across the world.

We are committed to ensuring that Skype is accessible and provides an easy way for users in India to connect with friends and family.” said Judd Harcombe, Head of Emerging Market Business Development at Skype.
