The Good.

1. Cheap calls to international destinations directly from your cell phone. This is Huge!
2. Skype calls do not use any of your wireless plan minutes. Yak all day long if you want to! Especially useful for those long tech support calls to 1-800 numbers during peak hours.
3. All of your Skype contacts are automatically imported/synced when you sign-in to Skype.
