Skype is now on Truphone iPhone and iPod Touch app
I just got this email from Truphone…
Launching Today

We are excited to announce that from today, Truphone for the iPhone and the iPod touch can now let you stay in touch with all your Skype friends.

You can now:

  1. Instant Message (IM) your Skype contacts
  1. Make calls to Skype users on your contact list*
  1. Receive calls from other Skype users
How do I get started?

It’s easy. You don’t need to update or download anything.

  1. Go to the IM screen in the iPhone application (the IM/More screen in the iPod touch application). If you cannot see this screen, select it from within the More screen.
  2. Select Skype (from the Setup screen)
  3. Sign in using your Skype account details

When you visit your ‘Friends List’ you will now see all of your Skype contacts and you will be ready to start.

What will it cost me?

If you are in Wi-Fi then all calls and instant messages will be completely FREE.

And for the iPhone application, even if you are not in Wi-Fi you can still make Skype calls and send Skype instant messages using Truphone Anywhere. We don’t charge anything for you to do this, but it will use your data package to connect the call or send the instant message.

We offer Skype on Truphone as a free service, and should this change in the future, we will let you know straight away.
