Skype To Go is an exciting new way to call friends, family and colleagues abroad at great Skype rates from any mobile or landline. Yes, that’s right, even your 10-year-old mobile or antique landline phone. You don’t need an Internet connection, and you don’t need to be in a 3G coverage area.

Here’s how the magic works. Let’s say your aunt lives in Australia and you live in New York.

Simply give us your aunt’s number in Australia, and we’ll convert it into a unique Skype To Go number with a New York area code.

Then, all you need to do is call this number from your mobile or landline, and you can talk right away to your aunt in Australia at Skype’s amazing rates.

With Skype To Go, you can use your Skype Credit or subscription and get the same low rates* that you enjoy when you call from Skype on your computer today. Except that there’s nothing to install – it’s a great way to use Skype when you’re away from your computer.

Skype for iPad : Voip Calls on iPad

Well, are you planning to buy an iPad and just want to make sure that you can place free voip calls on it as Skype Call rates are cheap. Will you be able to use Skype on iPad, Make Free Voip calls on your iPad : Download Skype Voip App for iPad.

I just browsed the internet looking for similar answers. Straight away heading onto Skype Website.

Skype lists that it offers its Voip application for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad. Actually, since many iPhone app works on iPad, Skype's the same. Skype for iPad is basically Skype for iPhone application which equally works on your iPad. Offcourse you need high speed internet (3G/Wifi) to make video, voice calls on your iPad.

You can also make free calls to your Skype friends using your iPad or iPod touch. You need to do is get a compatible headset. I wonder why only these headsets, won't your bluetooth or the default mic and speakers work. A thing to explore, but I guess it should work.

Good thing about Skype for iPad, or any other voip app for iPad is that you can make voice, video calls to people using Skype on their iPhone, iPod touch or their laptop. So, its basically kind of Video calls from iPad to iPhone.

Then I checked the Skype forum. Guess what I found, people commenting :

"Its getting old already - I'm tired of using an iPhoneApp in x2 mode... just give me my app already!"

"I would USE MORE SKYPE CREDITS if the freaking iPad would have an app made for it."

"Downloaded the Skype APP to my iPad today and works a treat good quality video on iPad and speech is spot on, of course no video back from iPad, just speech, but then you will all know that. My only concern so far is that when a call comes onto the iPad the ring tone is total rubbish"

Above comments indicate that Skype app for iPhone doesn't work that great for iPad. Guess Skype needs to come out with an exclusive app for iPad : Skype on iPad so that people can place some cheap and free voip calls.

Do you own an iPad, have you tried Skype on your iPad. Please share your experience, any problems you are facing, any suggestions you would like to make about using Skype for iPad. May be we can help you out, or may be you can help others!
