It's wifi-based, so you can't use the ATT network, but it should still save some dough.^

Loaded it just after midnight. Works fine. On Howard Forums it is pretty clearly not working on jail broken phones.

Works on mine?
I'm still using 2.1 on jailbroken/unlocked first gen iPhone, with no sim card installed, just wifi connection.During a morning conference call, also busy was typing away (slowly) and chatting with colleague in HK. Haven't tried to place any calls just yet.
And here's the howardchui.com link for anyone interested: http://www.howardforums.com/showthre...5#post12441455

jailbroke and cydia - clippy is the problem!!
found a link about turning off clippy.
i could download the skype app, but everytime i tapped screen on first page to enter username, it crashed back to home page. found link about turning off clippy, but did not know how to do it! went to Cydia and updated programs and found there was a clippy update.
made the update, downloaded skype again and it now works.
the problem is the cydia app not the skype or iphone!
hope that helps
