Thanks to a new app you can now make phone calls via Skype from an iPhone exactly as you would from a computer.
What’s so great about being able to do that? It means you can call (or text message) with any Skype user, anywhere in the world, from your iPhone for free. It also means you can call via Skype to any regular phone, either cell or land line, for the same low rates you would pay calling from your computer.Thanks to a new app you can now make phone calls via Skype from an iPhone exactly as... more

German telecommunications giant T-Mobile will not allow their customers to use the new Skype application for the iPhone, the company told The Local on Tuesday.
Unfortunately for hopeful iPhone users in Germany, having the little blue “S” icon on their screens won’t get them any closer to affordable international calls or a quick instant message with friends, because T-Mobile, the exclusive operator for iPhones in Germany, is physically and contractually blocking its use.
“It is clearly stated in our customer contracts that such services may not be used,” T-Mobile spokesperson Alexander von Schmettow told The Local. “There are two reasons for this – because the high level of traffic would hinder our network performance, and because if the Skype programme didn’t work properly, customers would make us responsible for it.”German telecommunications giant T-Mobile will not allow their customers to use the new... more

From Om Malik, who has great sources:
Exclusive Heads up: A few months ago, I asked Skype CEO Josh Silverman when was he going to launch the iPhone version of the P2P voice and IM service that has now been downloaded more than 405 million times. He smiled and said, “Stay tuned.” And so we did.
A tipster — a very reliable one — tells me that Skype is almost ready to launch that iPhone version, perhaps as soon as next week. CTIA Wireless, a large mobile industry trade event, kicks off in Las Vegas next Wednesday, so perhaps the announcement will be made there. I am working on getting more details, as well as screenshots of the service.
The biggest clue about Skype’s pending iPhone launch came when iSkoot decided to move on from its Skype-centric strategy. The company had been offering a client that allowed cell phone users to use Skype services. Skype already offers a Windows Mobile version of its client.
As I’ve said before, Skype will have to turn to mobile to keep its growth intact. In recent months, many services, among them Truphone and Nimbuzz, started supporting Skype in their communication clients. However, a standalone Skype client would get a lot of traction among the Skype faithful. In the meantime, I think Skype is slowly flexing its muscles and swatting away little VoIP players with some of its recent moves.From Om Malik, who has great sources:

Telephone land lines are expensive. And so very 1990s. If you have a high speed internet connection you already have a modern communication line you can use for telephone calls.
With an eye towards ridding yourself of your phone company, Spot Cool Stuff examined three internet telephone services: MagicJack, Vonage and Skype. With all three you can dial out to any telephone number in the world. With all three you can receive a call from any telephone in the world. It is there, though, that the similarities end.
So which of the three services is best? Read on . . .Telephone land lines are expensive. And so very 1990s. If you have a high speed... more
