Skype on a cell phone can, in some instances, help people lower their cell bills each month.
Skype Mobile is a software that provides users with free Skype-to-Skype calls as well as unlimited Skype minutes over mobile phones.The tricky thing about this software is that some cell phones don't support it. In fact, most cell phones lack support for Skype Mobile -- but many of the high-end smartphones on the market do feature support for the service, including some popular phone makes and models.
iPhone
Skype Mobile is available, for free, for the iPhone. It includes many of the same features available for the PC version of the service, including Skype-to-Skype and Skype-to-Landline features as well as text-based chat.
Nokia N900
The Nokia N900 runs on a custom operating system from Nokia, the Maemo OS version 5.0. Rather than being a stand-alone cell phone OS, Maemo 5 is a small version of linux that features many of the same options of a standard linux-based platform. Skype has developed a special version of their Skype Mobile service specifically for the Nokia N900 that gives users an almost perfect recreation of the PC-based Skype service.
Motorola Droid & Devour
While not every Android-enabled phone features support for Skype Mobile, Motorola's Droid and Devour phones both support the program. As with the HTC Eris, another Android phone, the Devour and Droid's version of Skype Mobile is equipped with the standard features found on the PC version of Skype.
BlackBerry Phones
Even though the methods of inputting text may be different, several BlackBerry phones support Skype Mobile. Among them are the business-minded BlackBerry Tour 9630, the BlackBerry Curve 8530 and the touchscreen BlackBerry Storm2 9550. Apart from the Storm2's ability to type using a virtual keyboard as well as scroll through contacts, the software works the same across all platforms.
Windows Mobile phones
Over 120 cell phone models running Windows Mobile 6 and above support Skype Mobile. No Windows Mobile phones released after March 1st, 2010 will support Skype, however, as the software company has announced that they will drop all support for Windows Mobile devices due to business reasons.
