One of the best deals on the Internet -- free Skype to Skype calling -- may be coming to an end albeit slowly and quietly. Skype has launched a new, improved version of its VoIP calling software for Apple's iPhone and the service between Skype users on AT&T's network is slated to carry a charge beginning next year.


Wi-Fi calls will remain free between Skype callers, but a new as-yet-undisclosed charge will be leveled at Skype iPhone users beginning in 2011.

AT&T, which has the exclusive rights to market the iPhone in the United States, has found its wireless network overburdened by iPhone users who have flocked to the iPhone's applications. Free Skype calls would likely clog up the AT&T network even more. iPhone users have been clamoring for Skype and they will likely be pleased with the VoIP's new service features announced over the weekend.


Skype said its new iPhone 2.0 service will offer "CD-quality sound" for Skype to Skype calls on their iPhone 3GS or second and third generation iPod touches. The new offering also includes a call quality indicator that suggests the best time to call.
