Brinkster, a leading website design and web hosting company, today announced that customers around the world can now call their customer support center for free by using Skype. "Using Skype is the easiest way for our customers in over 170 countries worldwide to get a live person on the phone. It’s free, it’s amazingly easy, and customers love how reachable our support team is," said Jared Stauffer, President and CEO.

With a burgeoning international customer base Brinkster needed a way to offer the same high quality live support that is offered via a toll free phone number in the United States and Canada. Used by more than 113 million people and very popular internationally, Skype was a natural fit. "Many companies in Europe and other places around the world do not offer a free way to contact support, nonetheless support around the clock. Brinkster customers in Europe and the world over can not only contact us around the clock, they can now do it for free," said Ben Chambers, Vice President of Marketing.
