SHAPE Services has announced the availability of IM+ for Skype for iPhone, the Safari web application for accessing Skype ecosystem from the mobile environment. The application is designed especially for iPhone’s touch screen and complements the design and interface of Apple’s masterpiece. For a limited time IM+ for Skype iPhone version is being offered free of charge to all iPhone users.
Now iPhone owners can log onto http://skypeforiphone.com using iPhone’s Safari web browser and talk with their Skype contacts or call any landlines and mobiles in a cost-efficient way. “Noticing the public interest for Skype on iPhone, we decided to use our mobile IM and mobile Skype experience and develop an application for them; this has also been a move towards our IM+ for Skype platform coverage. It is truly easy and convenient to access and use. We are looking forward to hearing some feedback from iPhone users”, said Igor Berezovsky, the company’s CEO, in the press release. “No tweaks are necessary.”
IM+ for Skype is the fully mobile application that uses SkypeOut credits for voice communication ensuring cost-effective calls to any number around the globe. For users of Skype Unlimited and Skype Pro plans IM+ enables almost free calling from the mobile device to any PC with Skype or any landline/mobile number.
IM+ for Skype works in any network and doesn’t require WiFi.

No place to register on the phone page. Do you need to create a Skype account first?
STILL not enough to get me to spend hundreds of dollars on a phone that does so much more than I need a <u>phone</u> to do. I can understand the lust and I can understand that certain people need such devices … just, not me.

Im not at all interested by this news.
Yes, Chrissy1, register first. It’s free – if you hit the right buttons.

Um, then don’t buy one. Thanks for sharing. I know everyone was waiting breathlessly for your take.
@ DLMeyer
I KNOW!!! I mean, why in the world do people keep talking about hang gliders, or bulldozers? And who cares about football, or Barry Bonds? I’m not personally interested in these things, so why do people waste time talking about them???
PS – you know I’m kidding ;P
It’s not a phone. It’s a multi-function device. If you only need/want a phone, a smallish iPod, a calculator, a video player, a digital photo library device, get one. If you want something that does all these, relatively well, consider an iPhone.
you don’t know the historyof bulldozers, i do!
You said, “STILL not enough to get me to spend hundreds of dollars on a phone that does so much more than I need a phone to do. I can understand the lust and I can understand that certain people need such devices … just, not me.”
I can understand and agree. My cell phone does not even have a camera and I do not want it to.

. . . . But, . . . that does not mean that I am not trying as hard as I can to come up with “reasons” why I “must” have an iPhone so that I can “justify” getting one. LOL
Actually, I figure if I can change jobs so that my new job requires me to fly around the country, then I will need maps of all those new cities that I will visit, . . .. so . . . . iPhone would be a perfect solution vs carrying tons of maps. . . . . Right??

MDN word “economic” as in I need a good economic sounding reason why I need an iPhone !!
we don’t like you
shut up !!!
Is that the smell of indignant jealousy DLMeyer? Why yes, I think it is. I got an iPhone and let me tell you – it’s AMAZING. Get over it and BUY ONE.
Call me when Apple partners with Skype to ship the real one…
MW: friend… Will Apple and Skype become friends soon? Like shipping a 3.x version for Mac AND iPhone?
Possibly a stupid question here, hope someone can answer it.
For those of us who are on non AT&T areas; could this mean that somehow I could use a Skype connection as a work around?
That probably shows how little in know about Skype but………..?
Skype. You can TALK to people without using any of your cell phone MINUTES by using WIFI.
WIFI is UNLIMITED on the iPhone.
You have your right to post your opinion, of course. But please stop being so stuck up pasting your damn “voice of GLWhoreton” whatever URL link to try and get google ratings. It’s really annoying. If we all started to do that, this place would be a mess. We all show restraint in this regard; won’t you please?
I want the iPhone to be successful since I have a lot of money invested in AAPL.
BUT, I don’t own an iphone and don’t even want one so please stop the iphone news UNLESS it pertains directly to how much money I am making in my AAPL stock!
for the love of god I agree!!!!
meyer links blows
if i could click ignore him I would
I don’t care for traffic signals and to this day I don’t understand who is the idiot that goes out there and buys stop signs to put on intersections.
Oh and don’t get me started on those yellow and white stripes on the road…

I get an Apache error when I try to load the page.
Link is broken now. Probably overwhelmed.
“STILL not enough to get me to spend hundreds of dollars on a phone that does so much more than I need a phone to do.”
That would be the perfect example of a comment that stands in diametrical opposition to itself. “Not enough=much more.”

MDN magic word SOVIET: as in “no iPhone or Skype for Soviet minded people”
enough advertising of your damn stage page already – we’re all duly impressed, now stfu about it
If you want to increase your lousy pagerank, put the link in “name” part of the post. Doesn’t MDN have enough damn ads as it is?
@ DLMeyer, Just get yourself a Camel! It will carry your mobile phone, ipod, Videopod, nano, MacBook, writing desk & stationary, extra battery pack, mobile home (Tent) collapsible furniture, cooking equipment, potty, wardrobe, library, address book, yourself! or kids. It will in addtion provide you with Milk (what a blast! rear ended type!!).
So with a Camel, who needs an iphone?
