File transfer in Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows Phones

Now that Skype for Windows Mobile supports file transfer, you can send and receive documents on the move. Need to do an impromptu presentation to a potential client? Have a colleague send that 50Mb PowerPoint document straight from the office. Made some edits and want to back it up? Send it back again.

Of course, Skype-to-Skype file transfers are secure and private, so you can send sensitive documents in the knowledge that they’re safe from prying eyes, even across unsecured WiFi networks.

SMS in Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows Phones

When you’re abroad and in a WiFi zone, the SMS feature is a great way to avoid mobile roaming charges – you pay only Skype’s low SMS rates to send messages to friends and family. Of course, roaming charges may apply if you’re connecting to Skype using a 3G network, so check with your operator before doing so.

Of course, even when you’re at home, the SMS feature in 3.0 Beta is a great way to reach friends and family instantly anywhere in the world – and Skype’s low rates mean that you won’t have to break the bank to do it.
