Skype over 3G now available for iPhone and iPad

I remember well the first time I made a Voice over ip call. It was in 1994 with a program which name now evades me. I called my uncle who just moved to the United States of America so I knew he would have a decent enough bandwidth to receive the call on his landline. He was much surprised to hear my voice since long distance calls in 1994 were exclusive to the rich and famous.My mom however wasn’t impressed at all and wanted to ground me because she thought it must be illegal and that the telephone companies were going to come knock on our door and arrest me. Since then there were many voip programs that came and went, one mentionable program was “talk pal”, which allowed audio chat rooms which was sometimes fun to listen to or participate in, although it was restricted to only one person at a time.

Skype came on the scene a few years later and turned out to be the one company providing both a great quality AND a good price (modally FREE) > Well, Yesterday I did my first Skype to mobile phone call with my newly

> Skype not only provides calls to other Skype users but also to landlines for a fraction of the cost ghat fat cat mobile companies charge. Additionally you can also send text messages and for the time being it is only send and not receive. You see there is really no valid reason why we should have ever paid so much for text messages in the first place. If the Internet wasn’t created by academic and scientists and rather created by mobile operators we would have been charged for every single email we’ve ever sent, and probably even every part of every webpage we ever visited. With Skype or a competitor voip provider on mobile devices finally we should be starting to see email like charges(just a monthly fee for a connection) for Voice over IP. Have you used Skype on your mobile phone yet?
