Hello Alex, to make and receive calls using IM+ for Skype on your iPod Touch you are suggested to enter a valid mobile or landline phone number you have nearby. Calls will be redirected to the phone number you have specified. You will receive a callback (an incoming call). Don’t forget that you are required to have SkypeOut Credits on your SkypeOut account to make and receive calls.

How about Port 80? Does it work on that? Because T-Mobile in Germany only permits communication on Port 80 on their data tarif.

Michela, thank you for your post.
IM+ for Skype is web-based iPhone / iPod Touch application so you just need visit s4iphone.com (using Safari Browser) and log in to Skype with your existing Skype account.
When you make a call both the contact person and you will get the call. This is because when you use IM+ for Skype you are actually making two calls: one - to contact and another - to your callback number. The conversation will begin after your contact accepts the call and you accept the callback.
Regarding your question about ipod, just specify another mobile phone number with voice service or the closest landline number as the callback. Then all your calls will be forwarded to the specified phone number.
IM+ for Skype uses SkypeOut to transfer voice data over this wireless network, which ends up being rather cost-efficient if compared to Voice over IP (VoIP). With VoIP the airtime charge would be much higher than the charge with SkypeOut.
Furthermore, the call quality is better when you use SkypeOut rather than VoIP.
s you receive an incoming call to your callback phone you will be charged for it. The call is possible due to Skype credit on your SkypeOut account.

Marde, we can recommend you to use the closest landline phone number as the callback. Then while you are calling or receiving the calls, all your calls will be redirected to the specified phone number and you will be able to continue using IM+ for Skype.

I have used Skype primarily as a long distance service from my computer to any phone # (1 year paid plan. Very cheap, quality quite good.) I live in Montana, where there is no AT&T phone service. Is there any way to use an iPhone with Skype if you do not have AT&T as a carrier?

As you receive the incoming call and if you are charged for it by your wireless carrier then there will be the fee for the incoming call.
If you are on unlimited tariff plan, there will not be additional charges for GPRS traffic.

Please note that you can always receive the callback to the closest landline. Just specify its number as the callback in the Call menu and then all your calls will be redirected to the specified phone number.

You are able to receive and make the calls to any contact in your Skype contact list.

IM+ for Skype uses SkypeOut to transfer voice data over this wireless network, which ends up being rather cost-efficient if compared to Voice over IP (VoIP).
When you make a call both the contact person and you will get the call. This is because when you use IM+ for Skype you are actually making two calls: one - to contact and another - to your callback number.

If you are charged for the incoming calls by your wireless carrier then there will be additional fee for the incoming call but if you are on unlimited tariff plan, there will not be additional charges for GPRS traffic.

You can always try IM+ for Skype in 10-day full-functional trial mode. Just visit s4iphone.com (using Safari Browser) on your iphone and login in to Skype with your existing Skype account.

how many times shall we say this: this software is USELESS. In order to make a call it charges your skype account more money that your mobile provider would charge you. That is because it uses your skype credits to CALL YOU BACK on your mobile phone. It is not free and it is actually the most EXPENSIVE way to make a call!

Had minimal success, overall not a bad app but do not expect perfection, but honestly I kinda expected exactly what I got.
