Good decision to make Skype still free wen it comes to calling someone over a Wifi connection. I didn’t like what i heard at first but now i’m fine with it! Besides there are a lot of hotspots which are free legally, so this is a great solution when your provider drops.

Called Rio (Brazil) yesterday, two landlines and one mobile. Works beautifully, reception as very clear on both sides.

6-minute call to Rio landline, about $0.27.
7-minute call to Rio cell, about $0.75.

Interesting … in the UK, 3 is already offering exactly that: £5 / month for data-only (you pay an extra £0.20 per text, or £0.55 / minute if you do make voice calls. Incoming voice calls and incoming SMS are free).

USA really needs more competition from network operators…

I updated to the newest version today. I was walking at work and heard my phone ding. I looked down and saw the Skype IM window pop up. Very nice…

Now if only AT&T would allow iPhone users to forgo a voice plan and go data only (I know, not a chance they would ever give up that revenue), how about paying a $5- monthly fee to go data only, I’m in……

One can dream…….

It works really well. Very handy for places with poor AT&T cell service. Like my house.

The reason Skype is scrapping charges for 3G calls is probably rooted in deals being made with carriers reverting to tiered data plans. Encourage users to suck up more bandwidth, the carrier charges more to the user for data, and Skype gets a cut.

“Of course, these multitasking changes will only work on the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 3GS.”

Works fine on my 3rd gen iPod Touch…
