This video shows you how to use Skype on your iPhone 3G or 3GS. As you know, Skype (from app store) can only be used on wifi. This video shows you how to use 3G Unrestrictor (from Cydia) so that you can make calls using Skype on 3G. Combine this with Backgrounder (Cydia app) and you can now make and receive calls anytime and anywhere.

You can Download Skype from Apple's Application Store.

Add repo.sinfuliphone.com to Cydia sources,

and search for 3G Unrestrictor and install.

Open 3G Unrestrictor and add Skype to the list.

If 3G Unrestrictor isn't working then try installing VoIPover3G from cydia.

Download Backgrounder from Cydia. Once installed, to enable, open Skype (or any app) then hold the home button, let go of the home button when you see "backgrounder enabled" Now Skype (or any app) will be running in the background, enabling you to receive calls even if your iPhone is not on.

To disable Background it's the same way, hold home button until you see "backgrounder disabled."

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari. See what else is coming to your iPhone with the iOS 18.4 update.
