The latest update to Skype on the iPhone, the 2.0 release, comes with an upgrade wanted by all, VoIP over the 3G network. The problem is the calls won’t be free.  Well they’ll be free, but only until the end of August.

From the source: Call using your 3G connection. Skype-to-Skype calls on 3G are free until the end of 2010, after which there will be a small monthly fee (operator charges for data will still apply).

I hope there’s a setting that lets you turn this new option off or many users will be incurring chnrges and not even know.
