About a month or so ago Sony added Skype to their Sony PlayStation Portable but you have to buy the headset with the microphone and the remote control. Of course not long after that they created the combination for sale. Before you could only buy the headphones with mic by itself and then you'd have to additionally buy the headphones with the remote control. You need the remote control for it to work.
I have started thinking about how maybe it is a good thing because if you have a cell phone and have unlimited calls that's fine but I don't. I have a pre-paid cell phone and so my calls cost .40 cents per minute. It's especially frustrating when I am roaming. I think I should be able to call out for free on a cell phone like everyone else. Of course with Skype it is only free if you call other Skype users, otherwise you can buy time which is like 500 or 600 minutes for $10 which isn't bad or you can pay $2.95 a month for unlimited calls (which is about 10,000 calls per month, they added that in there).
But you have to be in a wifi hotspot to be able to take advantage of that. I don't know what T-Mobile has for you to use though. I was given a 6 month free wifi hotspot thing with the purchase of the PSP which I have not used yet because I don't take it with me everywhere I go. I'm thinking that maybe the $10 phone card is a good idea cause I probably wouldn't use it all the time and that 5 or 600 minutes wouldn't expire after a month, you keep the minutes until you've used them up.
As soon as I get the money I'm going to think about getting the headset with mic from Game Stop and then setting an account up for me. I think it's a good deal. And I want to see what T-Mobile does for PSP users per month.
