Canadians, rejoice: Skype for iPhone is here – The Globe and Mail
Its about GD time! I downloaded the app and seems to work as expected. Now all we need is SkypeIn and for this to work on 3G. Good step though!
Canadians, rejoice: Skype for iPhone is here
Skype’s iPhone app is finally coming to Canada.As of Wednesday, Canadian iPhone and iPod Touch users will be able to join the 6-million-and-counting users who have already downloaded one of the most popular applications in the world.Skype’s iPhone app iTunes download is essentially a slightly more stripped down version of its desktop software that allows users to make free or relatively low-cost phone calls over the Web. The app allows users to make “Skype-to-Skype” calls – essentially, one Skype user calling another – for free. The app also enables calls to land lines and mobile phones at a rate lower than that of most major carriers.There’s a catch, though. You need to be in a WiFi zone to make a Skype call.While the app lets you send and receive instant messages over a 3G network, the calling features require WiFi. Nonetheless, that hasn’t stopped plenty of industrious hackers from trying to get Skype to run on 3G, even before Skype officially became available in Canada.
