Last week Apple changed began allowing third party applications to make VoIP calls over 3G. What that means is that you can make a telephone call over the internet using a wireless broadband connection. The upshot is that you could theoretically use an application like Skype to make free or cheap phone calls while eating up your data minutes instead of your voice minutes. You can also make international calls over a VoIP application for much less money than your cellphone company would typically charge.Right now there's only one problem: Skype's iPhone application doesn't support making calls over 3G. And it won't for a little while, because while the Skype team plans to start work on a 3G enabled version, the goal is to improve the audio quality first.
In the meantime, you can always use Fring, which already offers VoIP calls over 3G.
