I'm an American moving to Canada, who is getting an iPhone there so as to use skype to chat with people from my homeland for free.

Would this work if I used a real US credit card? Or should I just download iTunes and make an American account before I move up north?

Thanks for the tips. Installation went fine.

One question though: is it normal that I now have to enter my US credentials every single time I sync from iTunes? It is pretty annoying, especially because at the end of the sync the App Store does not revert to the Canadian one. The US store remains active so I have to manually switch back to the Canadian one from the App Store home screen. To be clear: I do start out from the Canada store, initially, and I am logged into my Canadian account.

Thanks for the grate info. It is always a problem with Canada to approve or release stuff. I did not experience any problem everything worked fine except it took a bit time to approve my account from email. When you syncing just do not touch anything in ITunes.

Once you have the skype software on the iphone (through your US Itunes account) and Itunes credit (again on the US account) how do you pay skype for phone time using the Itunes credit?

Greetings from BC!
Bought Card at Shoppers, opened a new iTunes account, plugged in my iPhone (new 3Gs), downloaded Skype App on iPhone, logged into my own Skype account (I thought that I would have to create a new account) and it works perfectly.

My question is – will I get nabbed if I top-up Skype Credit on my existing Canadian credit card or do I have to resort to Credit Gift cards at Shoppers’?

BTW. thanks a million Maury for the tip.

HELP! I had Skype up and running perfectly and when I synched with iTunes, using either my Canadian or US accounts, there would be no problem. Now I have upgraded to 3.0, regardless of which account I use, Skype is removed from my phone and I have to reload it each time. This is a PITA. Anyone help me pleeeez??
