Description
DOES NOT REQUIRE WiFi TO MAKE SKYPE CALLS!!!
IM+ for Skype uses callback technology and requires Skype Credits or Skype subscriptions.
A callback technology ensures best phone call quality anywhere in the world!
With IM+ for Skype you can:
- Exchange instant text messages with your Skype contacts;
- Call any landline or mobile phone cost effectively using Skype credits;
- Call Skype contacts;
- Receive calls from Skype contacts and calls to your SkypeIn number;
- Get full presence status support.
HOW IT WORKS
When you make a call both the contact person and you will get the call. This is because when you use IM+ for Skype you are actually making two calls: one – to your Skype contact on PC or to a phone number and another – to your callback number.

Customer Reviews
WOW what miserable a failure on the part of SHAPE Service!
I purchased this about an hour or so ago.
I have an Unlimited USA/Canada account, my own Skype Online Number, and the works from Skype.
I run all of my business through the Skype system without any problems, so I fully understand how Skype works.
However, this iPhone application by SHAPE Service is by-far the worst Skype attempt I've seen of anything out there for Skype.
Here are the immediate failures by IM+ for Skype:
(1) It takes 30+ seconds to connect...
(2) Half the time it won't even connect... (9 times out of 10, it won't)
(3) When it does connect it often takes 45 seconds to load our contacts list...
(4) 9 times out of 10 the loading of the contact list takes so long it forces the software to logout and I have to try to re-login again.
When it does happen to login, and when it does happen to load the contacts list...
(5) The buttons are very very slow to respond...
(6) I have tried at least two dozen times to connect to different landline numbers and it stalls out in "Calling..." every time....
(7) I have tried at least one dozen times to connect to different cellphone numbers and it stalls out in "Calling..." every time...
(8) I have tried to call my Skype Online Number at least a half-dozen times from both a landline and a cell phone and it fails...
(9) Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls... Stalls...
I have made sure none of my computers are connected to Skype.
I restarted my iPhone after I installed it.
In essence, this application in its present state is a complete 100% total failure!!!
Sure do which I could get my money back.... and I hope nobody else buys this and has to suffer through what I have. Learn from my experience... don't waste your 10 bucks on this app!
Do not get swindled
This app is worthless. It calls the cellular phone and the dialed phone simultaneously to connect. It does not integrate the iPhone contact list. It uses a web app that may be accessed through Safari. Please do the right thing and do not sponsor this unethical company.
WHAT!?!?
i can only IM other skype users and not call them which is already free on ur computer!!!!!???!!?!? i expected a little more for 10$!!!
