Skype 3.5 Beta is out, with a bunch of new features, including call tranfering. You can transfer calls to any Skype user for free, but if you want to transfer a call to a SkypeOut number, you'll need to sign up for Skype Pro at $3 a month, even if you've paid for an unlimited calling plan.Don Kennedy has an interesting post explaining the details of Skype Pro and call transfer, and offering up a free Skype Extra that lets you make call transfers without upgrading to Skype Pro. The utility's meant for demonstrating Skype's new call transfer feature, and it is not intended for commercial use. In fact, since Skype 3.5 is still in beta, we'd recommend not trying to transfer any important business calls just yet.
Other new features include:
- Auto redial
- Edit chat messages
- Private telephone numbers
- Send contacts inside a chat
- Updated extras manager
- Language updates
- A whole slew of bug fixes
