Skype says that the company plans to enable it to work over 3G on the iPad. Until recently, developers of applications like Fring could not offer this feature to their customers. However, Apple has finally unlocked VoIP over 3G in the iPhone SDK, something Skype plans to take advantage of as well. VoIP apps like Fring already have Skype’s service working over 3G.

Apple introduced the iPad recently which excited Skype hence they are reviewing the device and its specs. The SDK (Software Development Kit) which Apple provides to developers like Skype has been upgraded for the iPad. The new version, 3.2, removes the restrictions on calling over 3G. Skype fans will want to keep an eye out for the updated iPhone app, as well as the iPad version of the software later on this year.

Skype is undoubtedly the most popular VoIP app of all. To make calls, simply select someone on your Skype contacts list and you’ll be talking in no time. On top of voice calls, Skype for the iPhone also allows for chats just like the desktop app. It also permits the user to set his or her status and profile information.

Skype also offers a range of subscriptions that make international calls remarkably inexpensive. You can either pay $5.95 per month to call unlimited landlines in one country of your choice, or $12.95 for any country in the world. This is definitely cheaper than normal rates.
