Skype has announced some new fee-based services, one of which has been long overdue.
With SkypeOut, Skype users have been able to dial the phones of people without Skype, but Skype-less people couldn't call you. SkypeIn changes that, providing phone numbers in eight countries (Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Norway, Sweden, the U.K, and the U.S.). A three-month subscription is $13.
The voice mail service has also moved out of beta and is available to all Skype users as of today, costing 5 euros for three months or 15 euros for a full year.
Skype also announced that it's working on a video-conferencing service.
