3 edits | Weird Uuuhh...what is the point of skype over verizon 3G when you can talk to the person already using your phone? I am lost. Does this mean that you can use your cellphone video camera as a webcam and have the other person see you on skype as you would on a regular computer using skype?
Hmmm...is it that you can talk to them for as long as you want and it will not use your cellphone available minutes?

| yes, the biggest advantage is that you would not use any minutes. For some people, however, if you are on the same network, I guess that wouldn't matter. I don't see the big draw to it myself. I personally think my 3G voice is better than going through Skype. |

I don't see the big draw to it myself. I personally think my 3G voice is better than going through Skype. Skype is HUGE for international calls. We work with a lot of expatriates who utilize Skype to talk to their family back home, (Skype to Skype), for free. If they had the ability to reach their family members on their cell phones, they are no longer limited to only reaching them while they are at home and in front of their computer. In that regard, it's a very big deal.
For domestic calls I agree, I don't really see the point. |

Not using minutes... and International calls.
International dialing is dirt cheap on Skype, and skype to skype is free regardless.
Eg. Since I work from remote, I use iPhone / Skype over WiFi for 2-6 hours / day. |
