I got this message today on my inbox.

Looks like Skype is entering the mobile phone realm, by launching a service that allows you to make cheap phone calls to other numbers using a special Skype To Go number.

This is huge news, specially in Europe, where roaming charges are still ridiculously high, and prevent people from calling more to other countries. I for sure will use this feature. I was already using my Skype for symbian for my Nokia phone, but I was limited to a good wifi connection and the sound quality was not that good. 
Hi joao.rei We’ve activated your Skype To Go number. When you bought Skype Credit or your subscription, you got a Skype To Go number as part of your purchase.

It’s the easy way to use your Skype Credit or subscription from your mobile to call phones abroad – really handy when you can’t get to a computer. There’s nothing to download or set up – we’ve done it for you. Simply dial your Skype To Go number from the mobile you registered with Skype and get talking. How to use it Dial your Skype to Go number:
Call from your registered mobile. Forgotten which number you registered? Check it or update it now Then enter the phone number of the person you’d like to say hi to.
