Over the weekend we gave you the heads up on Skype version 2.0 for iPhone and iPod touch.
To crowds of people cheering, the update finally added the ability to make phone calls over 3G, freely. Well, free until August anyway. But today, Skype has just announced its changed its mind as far as charging users goes. (more…)
It’s official, @Skype Mobile on the iPhone now has support for 3G calling, for FREE.
That is, at least until August 2010, when a small fee from Skype will be imposed to use their VoIP services over 3G.
Until then, enjoy! … Hit the jump for the full change log!
Change log:
– Call using your 3G connection. Skype-to-Skype calls on 3G are free until at least end of August 2010, after which there will be a small monthly fee (operator charges for data will still apply).
– Near CD-quality sound for Skype-to-Skype calls using wideband audio (SILK codec) on iPhone 3GS and 2nd generation iPod touch.
– Enhanced call quality indicator.
– Improved start-up time.
– Fast access to the dial pad from iPhone home screen.
The update is now available on the store.
