Skype has launched its Android and Java-capable mobile phones. Unlike Truphone, Skype lite doesn’t require Wi-Fi and instead utilizes the phone’s data plan, according to the reports.
For the first time in the United States, mobile phone users can now download a “lite” version of Skype that can be used for making calls to other Skype members and to landline and mobile phones at a low rate.
Skype has been beta testing a version of its software for a limited number of mobile phones since last year.
Skype lite is currently available in: the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Brazil (Rio and Sao Paolo), Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Australia and New Zealand. More information and download instructions can be found on Skype’s website.
