iPod touch Using Skype on iPod touch, how do I get a mic?

Hello everyone.

Since I now have an iPod touch, I tried installing Skype but its not available in Canada, so I got Fring instead. Now I want to know will the in ear headphones bundled with the iPod touch work with fring? Do they have a mic built in?

Secondly at my university there is a wifi connection in most places so if I got myself an unlimited US and Canada Skype plan worth $2.95, would it serve as a cheap alternative for general calling (like long and unnecessary calls to friends lol). I would use Fring on my iPod touch for it. oh and is incoming free on the Skype plan?

If I remember correctly, the headphones that come with the iPod touch have a mic already on them. You could use those headphones just like an iPhone user would wear them, which means -- yes, you could just use Skype or Fring anywhere you have wi-fi.

No the headphone does not have a mic. you can buy ones for it off the apple store. they are like the ones with the new shuffle

Just to check, you have a second generation iPod touch, right?

If you do, give these a go: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Ng&mco=ODAwMDE4Mw

To use Skype on your iPod touch, you need the 2nd generation model; with that you need to buy headphones will mic, be it the iPhone headphones or the in-ear headphones.
