Skype WiFi app for iPhone and iPad
With Skype WiFi you can get online at over 2 million public WiFi hotspots worldwide at the touch of a button.
Here’s how:
1. Simply connect to any supported public WiFi hotspot.
2. Open the Skype WiFi app and tap the Connect button…
3. Ta-da! You’re now connected to the internet (wasn’t that easy?).
You’re now free to browse the web, check your email or enjoy free calls and messages to all your friends and family with the Skype app – remember, it’s a different app to the Skype WiFi one. ;)
Features:
• Pay only for the minutes you use and avoid those expensive all-day internet passes.

• WiFi connection to compatible network
• Skype Account or Microsoft account
• Skype Credit in your account
Skype WiFi is provided by 3rd party WiFi operators around the world.
Pros and cons of Skype WiFi app for iPhone and iPad
Skype WiFi app good for
This app is so good but the price is so expensive.
O app e muito bom mas os precos sao muito altos.
why did it take so long to come up with this idea? exactly what i was waiting for...!!!
works perfect on most airports...even in south america..!!
hope they will add more contracts to local providers (doas not work in airport lisboa intl. i.e..)
go on skype and make this evan better...!!!
Great outside Germany, but in Germany sketchy connection... Telekompartnership would help
Works well in UK & Norway. Saves me a lot by not having had to pay roaming charges.
Worked good for me from Chicago Ohare international airport... But charged at 20 cents per minute of Skype credit
Help me save $$ in internet connection abroad. Widely usable in Europe, while in Asia it is not as widely as usable - but still it is an amazing & handy app for travellers.
Some bad moments
I got the following problem twice at Amsterdam airport. After connecting to the wifi I could not disconnect by clicking on the disconnect tag. Go to page saying youre already connect and no way to disconnect even by switching off the wifi or by killing the application. I was twice charged of the full 30 minutes. Be careful with this app ! In my case I wont use it again...
Very useful and simple app that would make easier the life of lots of frequent travelers around the world - if it worked!!! Lots of times it simply doesnt open, crashing half-way after you select it! Microsoft should be ashamed of such bad product!!!
Tried to use at Malpensa (Milan) airport and it crashes every time you try to connect!
Crashes,does not even open anymore!! I"ll go for another App !!!
I tried in many different airports and i could never use it... It just doesnt work!!!
I can not log in with my name I use on Skype, always an error occurred. I was logged in shortly but immediately got kicked out. and even thought I have always cash on Skype with which I do calls when I am in a foreign country, there was none on Skype WiFi.
actually it really sucks.
