Yesterday a change to the iPhone SDK (http://gizmodo.com/5458498/apple-now-allowing-voip-over-3g-could-ipad-calls-be-next) allowed for VoIP over 3G and we heard about the first app which'll offer the functionality. Today another iPhone app (http://gizmodo.com/tag/iphoneapp/), Fring, has begun allowing video and voice calls using Skype over 3G.
You don't need to update your version of the Fring app as it was simply a matter of Apple lifting some restrictions on its end. You can now freely make Skype calls without being connected through Wi-Fi—assuming you've got decent reception.
Still no word on when we'll get an official app from Skype though.
