Skype 2.0 Delivers Calls Via 3G for iPhone
Does it use plan minutes? (Doesn't it on VZW?)

If I'm correct, the crooks at VZW made Skype use plan minutes. If I'm correct, the iPhone version does not.

You guys got it wrong about VZW using plan minutes when using Skype. I use it on my Droid & it does not use my minutes. Any skype or VZW mobile customer minutes are free to talk to each other. For AT&T its free now but will be charging within the year to use Skype with Iphones.
Oh, I wasn't saying it uses your VZW minutes. I was just laughing at bluepeyote.

Aren't Skype calls routed over the phones data connection?
I wouldn't know. I've never used a Skype app in my life.
If you are calling internationally, you can set the app to auto route those calls through skype and you pay their international long distance rates, which are much cheaper.
The downside is that the app won't work on wifi because of this (though I expect the consumer app will, and Fring already does) and you can't use skype to call any US number, barring other skype lines.
