Making free or cheap phone calls using Skype from your home phone may be nothing new but would you ever consider using the service with your ordinary mobile phone? Well, it seems that as long as you have a Java-enabled device, or have got carried away and bought into the idea of the first-generation Android phone, namely the T-Mobile G1, then Skype can be yours.
The service is called Skype Lite and the second official Beta is now ready for download directly to your mobile phone. What’s more, for the first time you can also use the service in the United States.
Skype Lite is available as a download and supports well over 100 device from the top-five manufacturers, namely, - LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. We’d suggest going here, to check whether your phone is covered before you think about trying to install it.
The service offers you the chance to make Skype-to-Skype calls to other subscribers anywhere in the world, as well as send and receive text messages. Perhaps the most compelling reason to opt for the service is to make Skype calls at low rates to people on landline or mobile phones.
In this age where we constantly need to be ‘chatting’ with friends, this latest version also keeps tabs of your contacts and alerts you when they are online, or available to chat. It works by using local airtime minutes and an available internet connection, which allows you to sign into your Skype account.
As with standard Skype, you can carry out all the standard tasks, such as update your contact list, update presence and send/receive calls or messages, so you must have both a calling plan and a data plan on your mobile phone to use it.
You can download Skype Lite direct to your phone from www.skype.com/m or you can use your PC to download the application from www.skype.com/go/mobiledownload

Skype is the way to go!
