Actually that's not so.
Their free (
no monthly fee) Sky Talk Freetime CPS package only gives
free calls (of up to 60 minutes, redial to avoid charges)
to UK 01/02 numbers evenings and weekends.
Their (
£5 per month) Sky Talk Unlimited CPS package is
inclusive of calls (of up to 60 minutes, redial to avoid charges) to UK 01/02 numbers and to ten designated international destinations (the USA is, indeed, one) at all times.
Hence, it is more accurate to say in the latter case that such calls made by those subscribing to the Unlimited package are not free - an (in advance) fee of £5 per month has to be paid for them.
Remember, too, that subscribers also have to continue paying their Sky TV subscription.
Some would say that Euphony's euTalk+18 CPS package (£4.33/month averaged over the 18 month contract) which is inclusive of calls (of up to 60 minutes, redial to avoid charges) to UK 01/02 numbers and to
28 designated international destinations at all times is better value.
