Great value texts to mobiles abroad, and a great way to avoid roaming charges abroad if you text on Skype from a Wi-Fi zone.

Skype takes instant messaging to a new level. You are not just typing but conducting video calls. By now, most of you might have tried the desktop version of Skype and enjoyed the perks it had offered. With the increasing number of smartphone and pocket PC users, Skype has developed and made available its application to Windows Mobile devices.

New in this version:

• Improved sound quality.There’s a noticeable step up in sound quality when you call from a WiFi zone.
• Make free Skype-to-Skype calls, send and receive instant messages.Sign in to Skype from any WiFi zone to make free calls and send instant messages to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world, any day of the week. You can also sign in on your mobile data connection (your operator’s data charges will apply). Take your phone with you when you leave the office or when you’re out and about and stay in touch with all of your contacts.
• Make great value calls to landlines and mobiles on the move.Save on calls to landlines and mobiles abroad from your Windows Mobile® phone. Call phone numbers across the world without worrying about the cost with Pay As You Go credit or monthly subscriptions.

Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.

The technology is extremely advanced – but super simple to use… You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!
