Get ready to make free calls, Skype (owned by eBay) is set to launch it’s first iPhone App today that will make calls from your iPhone free to other Skype users, via any Wi-Fi access point (possibly via 3G if Apples other deals don’t stand it the way) or users can make much cheaper calls to any phone with your skype credit.
The Skype iPhone App could possibly be the most downloaded app of the year, having over 400 million registered users of their traditional net-to-voice platform. The App will let you call anyone from your phone book, Internet phone book, chat online and even take conference calls via Skype.

Finally!!! So will I need an ATT contract since I’m a Skype’r? How will the app know whether to use my ATT minutes or my Skype free?
I really hope they do that sooner! It’s definitely something I need and actually stand up with Fring (with all the inconvenients).
I’ve installed the app and it crashes all the time in my 2G iPhone… very unstable app… best
