* As of January 18 2007, a [connection fee of 0.039 € or equivalent](http://www.skype.com/products/skypeout/rates/connection_fee.html) applies to SkypeOut calls after the fifth second, with the exception in the next two bullets. * The connection fee does not apply if you are on the Skype Unlimited plan in the US or Canada, or Talk for Britain plan in the UK. * The connection fee doesn’t apply to toll-free calls. You can do toll-free calls without having any Skype Credit or paying anything. * The following regions were added to our Global Rate of 0.017 € per minute: Czech Republic, Guam, Hungary, Israel, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Puerto Rico and both Alaska and Hawaii in the United States. * We are working on our new Skype Pro offering that, among other things, will have domestic SkypeOut calling in a number of countries with a connection fee but no per-minute charges. You can [sign up to receive more info by e-mail](http://www.skype.com/products/skypepro/), and it will of course be here on the blog. No date yet, but I think it’s safe to say we will speak more about Skype Pro in weeks, rather than months. * Nothing changed in the structure of our other prices (Voicemail, SkypeIn, or free Skype-to-Skype).
