If you have to call internationally, this app is worth it. If not, well, you already have a phone (clearly).
I can see needing to use this if I had someone in another country I needed to speak with, but most everyone I know has a phone I can call any time! There are even plans which allow a person to call other countries. So why on earth do I need this app on my phone, which is already built to make phone calls??????
I work for a small startup (3 US based employees and 2 France based employees) and we use Skype as our primary IM and voice communications platform. Before I got my Android phone and downloaded Skype Mobile, I was tied to my computer, whether it was at home or at the local coffee shop. Now, I can respond to IMs and take voice calls when away from home and a traditional wired or WiFi Internet connection, giving me a new found freedom to be away from home during the business day.
This is a great utility for both Skype-to-Skype calls and international telephone calls. Getting Skype rates for international calls made on a cell phone is outstanding.
