Use Skype on the iPhone with 3G and Edge!

Ok, so this is an obvious one but if you are reading this then you probably don’t know yet. You will need to download skype from the apple store (free). If you try running it and making a call without wifi you will get an error stating that you can’t make calls with skype over 3g.
Fix: Take your Jailbroken iphone (I use quickpwn to do it) and make sure the bigboss repository is installed via Cydia. Now search for VoIPover3G in Cydia. Install it. If it doesn’t tell you that you need to also install MobileSubstrate (which it should) go ahead and search for/install that as well. Reboot and test. This works well for me even on EDGE with a 2G iPhone. Of course you can also use Skype on your computer tethered through the iPhone with Pdanet.
