Install it, use it once, then close it normally. Then, use your phone as you would regularly. You’ll notice the difference… well, at least myself and a few others I know have. It is otherwise a very good app, also considering calls over 3G will remain free. (Skype dropped the decision to charge for calls skype-to-skype over 3G and WiFi)

It looks it doesn’t work in background for unlocked iphones.

I agree on FaceTime! I have not had problems with battery life…

Skype for the iPhone is still missing 1 important thing though. It is not capable of using the front facing camera on the iPhone 4 for video chatting. The app also reduces battery life significantly when running in the background.
