The popular online communication service Skype can now be used with most cell phones. Depending on the service provider, many features like free Skype-to-Skype calls and instant messaging, inexpensive rates for international phone calls, and file sharing are now available for cell phones. Smartphones can access Skype through 3G or Wi-Fi networks, while the iPhone uses the Skype application. Older model phones must use the Skype To Go program, which requires prepaid Skype credits. This method creates new Skype numbers for up to nine of your international contacts so you can call them anytime with Skype's international rates.
