Verizon’s Android and Blackberry customers who use Skype got some huge news today. Verizon and Skype announced that they are going to let Skype work over 3G in an always-on type of mode, thus allowing their phones to act as Skype devices while attached to Verizon’s network.
The service will allow incoming and outgoing Skype calls including Skype phone number access. The service will always be on and will be active so long as there is a Verizon 3G data connection. That means you can make really inexpensive international calls on Skype rather than Use Verizon’s native service. It also means that incoming calls to your Skype-In voice number will “ring” on your Verizon phones.
