In my list of VoIP services for mobile phones, I mentioned some time back that Skype was offering mobile service, with its 3 SkypePhone, only to fill the gap of mobile telephony in its services, while Yeigo and Fring were offering real services and softphones for mobile phones. 3 SkypePhone has the limitations of being available in only a very limited number of countries, and of being a mobile phone that works only with Skype. Most people are looking for VoIP services that can be welcomed on their existing mobile phones.

Skype's new application can be downloaded and installed on mobile phones, and used with a service similar to that of Yeigo and Fring (I often take these two as examples; I believe they stand as best in their niche). Skype's new service offers free calls between Skype users, and cheap rates between 'Skyped' mobile phones and other landline or mobile phones. The service however does not go on any mobile phone. Here we come to the limitations. It works only on 3G phones - only a few models. Quite some models, but still not most of them. And then of course there is the associated cost of the 3G data plan to consider. Also consider that voice quality will be an issue. Read review
