It is understood that Skype CEO Josh Silverman plans to make internet telephony giant Skype integral to the fabric of the real-time web. Now with Skype for iPhone also allowing for calls over 3G you can call anytime and anywhere without having to find a Wi-Fi spot,” Starkov said.

Tennis is an individual sport and when you travel by yourself at times you feel very lonely. “Before we had to look for a computer in the tennis clubs and hotels and it was a real problem because it was very difficult to find one. The change of having Skype on the mobile phone has been crucial for us. “One of them is my daughter, she travels a lot and we use Skype to communicate because it’s easier, faster and cheaper. “We have a group of young tennis players that are constantly travelling inside Spain and around the world,” said Alexei Starkov, the physical/fitness coach of the Federación de Tenis de Madrid.

#Skype for iphone 3gs windows#
This support on Windows, though, is conspicious by its absence, and Skype had earlier confirmed that it was working to bring that ability to Windows by the end of April this year.Skype has launched a new version of its iPhone application which introduces 3G calling functionality. The video messaging feature allows users to send across short video messages to their friends, if they are not available for a live chat. Users can also tap and hold on instant messages to edit them, choose an emoticon while typing an instant message, animated emoticons for devices with a Retina display, edit saved phone numbers right from the dial pad. There is also the ability to create a Skype account directly from the app itself, making it a simplified procedure if they are new to this VoIP service. In the previous update, developers announced that users could chat with Messenger, Hotmail, and contacts as well as have the ability to sign in and merge with their Microsoft account. Last month, Skype's iOS app was updated to bring in the ability to log in to Skype using one's Microsoft accounts, thus giving iOS users the same ability that is available on the desktop client. The issue preventing a user from reading unread messages in iPhone is being worked upon too. If the user has added a phone number to his profile while chatting, the Chat/SMS toggle button currently is not displayed until a user logs in again. First among these is the issue wherein the last scroll position of the user is not saved. Skype is also currently working on fixing a number of issues. Messages that are non-edited will not be marked as edited, once the save option is pressed. The popover will be removed from the incoming call screen. The dial pad and in-call buttons now appear fine when a user taps on the screen during a call.

In addition to this, Skype has resolved a host of previous issues.
