Yes! They worked perfectly with Skype, allowing me to use Skype Out to call any landline or cellphone. I was also able to receive a Skype-to-Skype call. The sound was good, though perhaps a little on the quiet side. People I spoke to on their phones said they could not tell I wasn't using a normal phone. None guessed I was using an iPod Touch, Skype and WiFi.
So along with all the other things my iPod Touch can do, it is now also a telephone if I'm in an area with WiFi available.

Here's the ultimate accessory...

Too bad Skype has such nonexistent customer support. It could really be useful if the system was a bit easier for new users.
So...can anyone tell me what I will miss by doing iPod Touch-Skype-miFi versus having an iPhone (besides the phone plan) or, for that matter, any regular cell phone.
I'm chomping at the bit to try this, but I worry about the ease of receiving calls as soon as they come in.
Any info will be appreciated....
Leon: To receive incoming calls on an iPod Touch, Skype would need to be running. That means you wouldn't be able to use the iPod for anything else while you wait to receive calls as Skype doesn't run in the background. I have found it useful to make cheap calls from work where they have begun to record ALL out going calls. It's 1/10th the cost of making a cell phone call.
I bought these specifically for my Ipod Touch, 2G. Sound quality is good, they are basically the standard Ipod ear buds. If you’re interested in making Voip calls through your touch, then these are a must. I use them for making phone calls through Skype (using the Fring app). They work perfectly out of the box (and yes, it is hard to open!) I called my husband’s cell phone and he reported my sound quality being just fine. It’s too bad that they don’t work on my Mac too…

So this is what everyone is using with their ipod touch! I have seen people using these everywhere and wondered what they where, it looks like they listening to music but when you walk past them their talking away to themselves. Thanks for this.
