I have an older Iphone and have read you can use the Skype App to make cheap calls to the us. Is that correct?
Yes, it's true. Computer to computer calls are free, mobile phone calls or calls to a landline are a few cents a minute (prepaid from an account that you set up). See the Skype website for details.
Check out their website; I think the answer is "yes". I use Skype to call overseas several times a week; haven't done the reverse yet. If you're not calling Skype to Skype (free call, I think), you have to pay by the month, it's currently costing me around $9.95 and gives me calls to cell phones, landlines and Skype phones in over 30 countries.
Has anyone called from Eto the US on Skype?
Yep...do it all the time....quality is very good.
