Skype for Windows has landed
At long last, Skype for Windows is now available a couple of months after the beta version was announced at Mobile World Congress, and launched a short while after that. The official Skype for Windows is now available over at the Windows Phone Marketplace, where you can also opt to retrieve the app straight from your Windows Phone itself, although it might take up to two days (48 hours) for Skype for Windows to propagate in all local Windows Phone Marketplaces. Skype for Windows will let you band up with another 200 million or so people who use Skype monthly, regardless of whether it is being accessed via a smartphone, tablet, TV or computer.
Skype for Windows can be used across 4G, 3G and Wi-Fi networks, although you might want to look into your data plan if you are not going to jive with Wi-Fi, as those who are on pay-per-use basis might actually want to consider unlimited data packages to ease the burden on your monthly phone bill. If you happen to speak or communicate in any of the following 18 languages – English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese, then Skype for Windows is the program for you.
