Service lets Skype users chat on cell phones

Eqo Communications, a Vancouver, British Columbia, start-up, has just launched its mobile Internet phone service, a package that allows Skype users to talk to each other via cell phones. [via News.com]

"But unlike traditional calling, which requires the use of phone numbers--and also means that once you give your number to people, they will always be able to reach you--Eqo is built around the idea of letting people reach out to each other via identities, or buddy lists.

Eqo allows users to tell when people on their Skype buddy lists are available, and if so, to call them directly on their mobile phones."
