It would never be able to take incoming calls while out anyways because I assume using it over 3G is disabled.
One way they could get around this though is to do something Grand Central-esque where the calls get forwarded through a number skype owns and then to your phone number (though, this still uses minutes and defeats the purpose a bit).
- catone 18y agoBut it could take incoming calls via wifi. 3G would be required only if you needed ~100% connectivity. In a wifi-only Skype app on an iPhone that supported background processes, it could auto connect to wifi networks whenever available and take incoming calls via Skype In... when there isn't wifi available it would be akin to the way your phone can't take calls when you have no service. Anyway, according to the PC World article, Skype for the G1 works over 3G... I suppose that'd be an ATT vs. T-Mobile issue, though.
