Verizon to allow Skype VoIP calls over 3G
Verizon and Skype says you'll be able to make free Skype to Skype calls to anyone using Skype software, whether they're on a phone, computer, or other device. You'll also be able to make international calls to telephones at SkypeOut's normal rates. And you can send and receive instant messages and see the status of your contacts.
One thing you won't be able to do is use Skype to make free domestic calls to telephones withing the United States. And that makes sense, since Verizon would be shooting one of its primary revenue streams in the foot by allowing that.
Verizon is hardly the first carrier to allow Skype calls over its network. AT&T users can already do this. But Verizon is one of the largest telecoms in the US, making this pretty big news.

Not 1 of, with the Alltel acquisition Verizon wireless hold the #1 spot for subscribers. And in my opinion the #1 spot for coverage, be it 2G voice or 3G data.

Verizon also announced that you'll have unlimited data while making calls over Skype.

The Fring Android app already does VOIP calls over 3G. I wonder why Skpe wasnt allowed before now.

Having it ready in most software companies, means they don't really have it ready, its just mostly ready. Doesn't surprise me that they have more work to do.And no, i doubt they have very many programmers.
