Skype WiFi app delivers affordable Wi-Fi around world

Skype is known primarily for providing Internet-based VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calling, with video chat and conferencing a close second. You might not be aware that Skype as well has a service to provide cheap Wi-Fi access at over one million locations around the world. Today, Skype revealed that Skype WiFi is now available for iOS devices as then.

Skype blog post announcing the iOS app explains

A Skype blog post announcing the iOS app explains, "Skype WiFi is great for travellers all over the world: It's a must-have app, for your iPhone or iPad whether you're on a business trip or enjoying holidays abroad. Skype WiFi offers you a cost-effective and easy way to get online with an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad. Paying on a per-minute basis for WiFi Internet access is great when you're abroad as you can avoid data roaming charges when you update Facebook, send a tweet, make a Skype call or upload photos."

I am not sure it's a "must-have app", however the app itself is free, so at the very least it's a "why not have?" app. The Skype Wifi iOS app lets globetrotting business professionals and jet setting travellers go online from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch at hotel, airport, train station, convention center, bar, restaurant, and other Wi-Fi hotspots.

However, the same can't be said for more rural areas, or in other countries around the world. Anyone leaving the comfortable confines of suburban America may want to arm their iPhone or iPad with the Skype WiFi app first.
