SINGAPORE : An increasingly popular computer software that allows callers to make free high quality calls through their computers will soon make its way to Singapore.

Nasdaq-listed and Singapore-based Pacific Internet (PacNet) has signed a partnership agreement with Skype, headquartered in Luxembourg, to provide Skype-based voice services here.

Both companies will provide a co-branded version of the Skype software, scheduled to be launched later this year.

With the PC-based application, Skype callers can make calls over the internet to any landline or mobile worldwide at competitive rates.

PacNet is the first Internet communications service provider in Southeast Asia to have signed a co-branding agreement with Skype.

The agreement covers both PacNet's corporate and consumer segments.

PacNet will manage the co-branded website, customer support, marketing, distribution and sale of Skype's premium services.
