I know 4 people using Skype on Verizon Winmo phones. As long as you remain
under the 5GB/month LIMITED service, there seems to be no bitching, even
though it is in violation of their AUP. As Skype can use ANY ports, we are
rotating port numbers about every 2 weeks to make any kind of tracking
harder than someone noting all the data from this PDA is from port 48732
every month. No sense attracting flies, right?

No, you do not. You need 110Kbps, which is any 3G sellphone data link.
I've used Skype, successfully, on 1XRTT as long as you don't do anything
else while on the call. If, for instance, your weather app updates, it
makes Skype stutter on 1XRTT until it's done. You won't lose the call,
just be annoyed for lack of bandwidth.

You do NOT need wifi for Skype on a laptop (use aircard works great) or
through a PDA or tethered sellphone....

I have no way of trying it with EDGE, but if you can bleed 110Kbps out of
Edge, Skype will work fine.
