It is now possible to use Skype from your iPhone or iPod Touch, thanks to a new application that was just released. This would allow iPhone users to be able to talk free to other Skype users, or get unlimited phone calls to landlines or mobiles for just $5.95 a month. The drawback is that it will only work if you have access to WiFi, 3G, GPRS or Edge.

I am surprised that AT&T and Apple would allow this because it could allow iPhone users, many who have been required to use AT&T’s service, to be able to talk for free or for pennies with Skype’s low cost subscription. If you have an iPod touch, you could get a microphone attachment and use it as a phone. Since you can not rely it if you don’t have a wireless signal, you could get a pay as you go phone for situations when you don’t have a WiFi signal. If you live in an area with free WiFi, or have WiFi in your home, this can be a great thing.
