Skype voice calls over 3G. Wow, what a super feature :)

It's about time US developed from mobile hicksville to where the rest of the world has been for the past years.

Your "unlimited data" plan is for your cellular service, it is not in any part going to Skype or any other application developer. Companies that have to run servers and pay for hosting/bandwidth charges to those servers deserve to get some money for their effort and the service they provide.

Nothing is, nor should be completely free to the consumer at the expense of the developer. The service should be paid for by subscriptions paid by the consumer or ad supported by making the consumer have to sit through a momentary sponsored ad.

I don't understand why on a computer (laptop running windows) you can call other skype users for free using your broadband internet connection that you already pay for. Skype only charges you money if you want to call someone who's not using Skype -- but now that it's being done from a phone, I have to pay a subscription fee -- even if I want to call someone who HAS skype?
