While the redesigned Skype app for iOS doesn’t support all the features of the desktop version, it has a highly intuitive and user-friendly interface. It works with standard landlines and mobile phones. If the need arises, you can get a unique incoming number from Skype.

You’ll be able to get cheaper access to public Wi-Fi hotspots, SMS messaging, and calls to regular phones. Though it’s not mandatory to enter your credit card information, doing so can get you a few additional benefits. The sign up process is quick, and lets you sign in to the app effortlessly. You can either use your Microsoft or Facebook credentials, or fill out a form to create a Skype account. Getting started with Skype is pretty easy. Over the years, Skype has been the leading name, and with good reason. While plenty of other services like Viber, Facebook Messenger, and Tango have similar capabilities, none of them works as a single communications tool packed with everything. The latest version not just adds a fresh look, but comes with improved performance, better notification management, and fast group chatting. IPhone users had been waiting for an updated version of the Skype app. Seamless and free peer-to-peer video calling!
