Skype for iPhone is the latest in the line of advanced Skype products. Sticking to the traditional look and feel, the Skype interface is still really easy to use. Its easy to add contacts to your list, phone friends and change your status. The app does have the advantage of not being different than the Skype 4 for Windows which many uses have been unhappy with. Instead the Apple version is slicker and more appealing than your usual mobile app.
Calls made using the Skype for iPhone depend solely on your Wi-Fi connection speed. So, obviously the better the Wi-Fi connection the clearer the quality of the call and delay between sounds.
Another great feature, that needs a little improvement, is the ability to accept incoming conference calls. Although you cant start a conference call, its still pretty neat to be able to join in!
Features:
Free phone calls using Wi-Fi connection
See instantly who is online and available
Use Skype via 3G, WiFi, GPRS or Edge
Send instant messages in seconds
Discounted rates with Pay as You Go credit when calling land lines or mobiles
If you have been using the solid Nimbuzz or Fring software products, then Skype might be worth a try. Whether this version stands up against the rest, well, we will leave that to you!
