Use your Skype credit to pay for WiFi access. This is a great app from Skype that allows you to connect to certain paid WiFi networks in public places such as hotels, airports and restaurants, etc, but at a Skype rate. It’s usable worldwide with over 1 million WiFi hotspots accessible.

Skype’s rates start at 4 pence per minute, which is much less that your roaming costs would be if abroad, and less than a lot of paid WiFi connects in hotels and airports. Also great for those with an iPod Touch that doesn’t have other network options.

When you launch the app it will show you a list of available WiFi networks. You pay by the minute and only for the amount of minutes you use. When you establish the connection Skype reserves enough of your credit for 30 minutes – but if you only use 10 minutes that’s all you will be billed for. If you forget to sign out, the app will automatically disconnect after 30 minutes.

Compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
