Skype released its iPhone app a few days ago which finally allowed customers to make VoIP (voice over internet protocol) phone calls over 3G internet networks. As well as having a call quality indicator, the new app also has “near CD” quality sound. Obviously, iPhone mobile users have been hankering for a 3G VoIP app because Skype has announced that after a couple of days, it already had over 5 million downloads of the app. Not bad!

The Skype 3G app will remain free for a short while (although it may incur data charges under some operators) however, Skype has said that it will be working out a pricing plan for its Skype-to-Skype calls over 3G.
