surprised

that verizon would do this. i wonder how this will work because aren't they doing tiered data also? voip would eat up your cap. i personally love using skype ota via tmobile 3G and big red is doing a good thing here. how will this affect minute/data pricing?

Menno

Skype on verizon phone's isn't true VOIP. it uses the phone line to make the actual call, which is why it doesn't work over wifi

Skype Lite?

So is this the Lite Version that was released and pulled because it was defeating the purpose of Skype? If not, I'd like to hear some feedback from any users out there that currently use this app?

Thanks!
