Skype Mobile was announced awhile back so for those who have been waiting in anticipation it’s finally here. Skype Mobile is out and only available for Verizon customers. Let’s hope you got reliable 3G connection because the app only works over 3G and does not work over WiFi.
Quick points:
- Free Skype to Skype voice calls to any Skype users in the world.
- Send and receive Skype instant messsages
- Calling a domestic number uses Verizons voice network which uses your minutes.
- Save money with International numbers using your Skype credit.

This does not help me as I use skype when out of the US and don’t want to pay a fortune to call home.
Useless – does not work with WiFi – only Verizon’s 3G – now why would I want to use skype if I hand a good cell signal. Call Europe – Ok, but what if I am in Europe and want to call home to the US – would not Skype on my WiFi phone be good?
Stop locking these systems down!
Absolutely lame!
I just got the Droid on the 31st and installed the skype app – it works great – call quality is clear – the only issue is you can’t use the other apps while on skpye calls – so much for multitasking! But I love it!
That’s pretty dumb – only on 3G? Sounds like a scam to me. What would you recommend as a texting app for use on wifi that will be able to chat with an iPhone? I’ll be in Iraq soon and definitely wont have 3G.
