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.

Localphone give you a local number for each or your contacts, so you can make a locally charged phone call directly from your mobile or landline phone and reach your friends and family overseas for a fraction of the usual cost. Read our full review of Localphone. As of January 2012 Localphone have updated their iPhone app, and new features include: Two calling modes – WiFi/3G or local numbers Using the LOCAL call mode means calls are made using a local number which connects to the international contact so you pay Localphone’s low rates plus the mobile provider’s local rates (which are often included in free minutes). By tapping the call mode during a call you can switch to WiFi/3G mode and calls will be made using the internet connection. This means you won’t have to pay the local charges just the international rate, which will save them even more money. Users can switch easily between the two call modes during a call.
