Skype Mobile in Germany?
 
Skype Mobile is new so I'm wondering if anyone's had experience with using it in Germany or France, where I'm headed in the fall.

I've used it all over western Europe, both on my laptop as well as on my I-phone..worked great for me every time

Ditto what Dukey said.

Terrific! This is just what I wanted to hear. Am getting the new Droid X and wanted Skype Mobile vs. renting a separate phone for the trip.

how exactly do you use Skype on the iPhone. I am going to Germany in September as well. Thanks.

Download the app, open a SKYPE account and add some credit to it. From any wifi spot, simply access the app and you will see the option to call any phone. That's it!

I am still trying to use up my initial $10 credit and have been out of the country 3 x !

Turn off and keep off data roaming before you land in Germany so you do not get hit with excessive fees.

Used it iphone to iphone from Germany to UK. Clear as a bell.
