In response to customer feedback, users can now listen to their Skype voicemail while on the move, as well as send low cost SMS to friends and family around the world. Skype has also improved the look and feel of the application, particularly when calling phones using the dial pad. 

Since its initial launch on 31st March, there have been over 4 million downloads of Skype for iPhone. Over 1 million users have signed up to Skype through the Skype for iPhone app.
Users can download the update in iTunes, or launch the App Store on their device and select Updates to get the latest version.
