The people, who are using any of the nine Verizon smartphones including BlackBerry Storm, the BlackBerry Storm2, the BlackBerry Curve 8530, the BlackBerry Curve, the Droid Eris, the BlackBerry Tour, the Motorola Droid, the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition, and the Motorola Devour, can download and use the Skype Mobile application starting on Thursday, March 25.

Verizon and Skype had announced plans for their joint venture in Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, last month.

John Harrobin, Senior Vice President of digital media and marketing for Verizon Wireless, revealed that the application will provide unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls as well as instant messaging, which will not count against Verizon customers' monthly minutes or data usage.

For download, the users may visit skype. com/go/mobile. Droid, Droid Eris, and Devour users can enable it by using the android market. For existing Blackberry customers, they can click on a Skype icon that will be pushed to their home screens on Thursday, after its release.

The application will also import the user's phone contacts. The calls made using Skype mobile will be automatically routed over the Verizon network.

Harrobin said, "The same coverage quality and reliability that you expect from Verizon applies to Skype mobile. We made a decision to route all voice calls over the Verizon wireless network that all other calls go over".

This way, Skype mobile will work efficiently whenever and wherever the customers need.
