Skype Upgrade (Version 2.0) Comes to iPhone

Internet-calling service Skype has released an upgraded application for the iPhone that allows customers to make calls over AT&T's 3G network.

The new software, dubbed Skype 2.0, also offers improved voice quality, a better call quality indicator, faster start-up time and access to the dial-pad from the iPhone home screen. It already features a range of free services, such as voice and video calls and instant messages to other Skype users.

The service is free for now, but Skype plans to start charging a small monthly fee in three to four months' time. Users are currently charged for services such as making calls to a landline or cell phone.

However, for now, Skype 2.0 is free for download from the iTunes app store.

    This latest version is really very good. Inside 3G it works very well and delivers very good quality. Additional the software is easy to handle and stable. But I am not sure if Skype prices will be good compared with standard voip providers.
