With the new release of Skype 2.0 users were greeted with a couple of new, although expected, features. You can now make Skype-to-Skype calls over 3G on AT&T’s network. This was announced sometime last year, and already in use on Verizon’s compatible devices, but just now deployed by the VoIP giant for AT&T’s iPhone users.
The long awaited app also came with some not so great news, users will soon have to pay for Skype calls made on their mobile phones. After August of this year you will need to purchase a subscription to make calls over 3G, although WiFi calls will still remain free. It’s hard to tell if Skype is digging themselves a grave here but lets put it this way; free is and always will be better. Let us know what you think!
