Re: Skype iPhone
David, I've found Skype's Unlimited World together with a Skype online number fairly hard to beat at about AUD 200 for the year. Works very well from my iPhone. It'd be nicer if calls to Australian mobile numbers was included in the price.

Re: Skype iPhone
I have been using it for a few years and it works fine.You must deposit some money and each call subtracts the amount of the call to the country you are calling. Rates differ.If you don't use your money up within a certain period (6 months?) they will notify you and you make one call to your mobile etc of even a few seconds to avoid losing your money. My experience is only with using Skype on a computer. Kev Hi all, Skype are advertising their mobile and text prepaid product.

Re: Skype iPhone
I use a number of SIP and VOIP type products on my iPhone and all of them are found wanting with regard voice quality and delay in particular on 3G. I'd hoped to be able to call mobile to mobile via SIP and 3G. Using a SIP or VOIP client over 3G is not up to standard yet in my experience. It is very cheap though, so if you're calling a friend that can put up with delay and tedious 'can you hear me?', then it's passable. Using them via wifi is better, but I've found the best way to use these services is straight from the desktop, or a dedicated VOIP device. My ISP is Bigpond cable My phone provider is Optus. iPhone is a 3G running OS 4.2. An iPhone 4 'may' be better, but I suspect it is more to do with the network than the phone.
