Skype Wi-Fi comes to iOS devices

Skype said Wednesday that its Skype Wi-Fi app, will soon be a free app in the Apple Store, allowing iPhone, iPod Touch (running iOS 4.1 and above) and iPad users to connect to over 1 million Wi-Fi hotspots around the world via their existing Skype accounts.

"And with Skype Credit you only pay for the minutes you use," the company said in its blog. "So, there's no need to buy an hour or day WiFi voucher if you're only looking to check your email or make a quick Skype call."

When it's not free Skype WiFi charges only for the minutes users are connected and the firm expects that it will save users money when travelling by avoiding roaming charges, for example, and by removing the risk of additional charges for uploading and downloading content.
