Skype on Mobiles

I maybe late to the party for this one, but the other page i was looking at mobile phones (as i am out of contract soon) and discovered that you can download and use Skype on mobile phones now. I have been a PC skype user for many years as i am not really a fan of Windows Messenger. I normally use Skype to keep in touch with people i work with instead of using emails as its fast and i don’t really want to pay to use it for call to other phones or landlines.

Skpye for mobiles is a great idea for anyone who uses an kind of pay as you go phones as it pretty much gives you free calls. the only draw back is that you need the person you are calling to have skype too, but if everyone spreads the word then we could all have free calls, which can only be a good thing.

To use Skype on your mobile you will have to either use a previously set up account, or set up a separate account (what i would do tbh) and then add all for your friends. The set up and contact adding is nice and simple and should really only take you about 15mins to complete (depending upon the amount of friends you have of course).

I would say check it out if you have a newish phone, chances are if you have bought a 3g phone in the last 6 months your handset will be able to use Skype and if you have any kind of smart phone or iPhone then you definitely be able to use it. Even if you don’t know anyone with it on their phones its a handy little piece of software to have to encourage your friends to download and get free calls too.
