The application delivers core Skype capabilities including free Skype-to-Skype calls from any Wi-Fi zone to other Skype users worldwide; the ability to call landline or mobile phones at Skype's low rates from any Wi-Fi zone; and the ability to send/receive instant messages to and from individuals or groups via 3G, Wi-Fi, GPRS or EDGE. The application also adds Skype calling and instant messaging to any second generation iPod touch with a compatible headset and microphone.
Skype for iPhone requires a Wi-Fi connection to make free Skype-to-Skype calls or low-cost Skype calls to mobiles and landlines. Users will not be charged by Skype for making and receiving Skype-to-Skype calls using an iPhone or iPod touch. Skype's normal rates apply if using Skype to call landlines or mobiles.
The Skype application for the iPhone or iPod touch will be available for free from Apple's App Store on both devices, or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
