I just logged in, and did a search and am downloading now! Reviews in the iTunes Store say v1.01 is crashing a lot though...

It really bothers me that this isn't available in Canada. CBC's website says Canada is the only country with the iphone that skype is not available in. Skype says it has to do with licensing, but will not go further into detail. Regardless, it's annoying.


Chaim Haas, a public relations representative acting on behalf of Skype, said the application is available in every country in which the iPhone is on sale and in which Apple has an iTunes Store — with the exception of Canada.


Skype app for iPhone to launch Tuesday, but not in Canada (http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2009/03/30/skype-iphone.html)

I wonder how Rogers was involved with this. I will now be getting a skype account to phone my parents who like about 2 hours away and my family in Mexico now. Why would I ever pay LD raping fees that Rogers charges.

There were options before...

But now it's Apple that won't let Skype use 3G/Edge/GSM on iPhones, not Rogers. Apple restricts such apps to wifi only.

Didn't see it on the first page of posts, but I have to admit; I didn't search before I started this thread. My apologies, let's all gather our things and move over here:
