Oh boy!  Looks like Skype was updated recently to allow calls over WiFi.  Oh the joy!  The innovation!  The convenience!  The … wait wut?  This had the potential to be huge.  <Sigh>, now for the fail detail.

You still need to have a cellular signal just to login to Skype.  If you are in the basement of a 16 story building that doesn’t get reception, this update probably doesn’t do you any good … Even if you “has the WiFis” down there.  It still needs a cell signal to authenticate who your carrier is and your phone number.  You might be able to get away with running outside to authenticate then run back into the building … might … but I doubt it.

Second fail I noticed.  Even though you are calling through “the WiFis”, It’s still counted against your regular minutes according to your plan.  That awards the new and improved Skype android app for Verizon a “Double Failbow” in my book.  Full on double failbow all the way.
