Default [Think Tank] Wifi bonded to cell connection

With the release of the newest Skype app that supports wifi calling only, is there a way to bond the wifi connection to the cellular connection to allow for calls over 3g?

I only ask because the Skype app is pretty much useless without 3g. Might as well get on a laptop or something.

If some way an app can be written that the apps are for the iPhone then it would work. Ive been using an app called My3G and it does what the OP is asking. It basically tricks the app into thinking its on WIFI but uses the existing internet connection which is 3G.

That would do exactly what I would like. Could easily circumvent the need to be on wifi for Skype.

In the iPhone app, does it do this systemwide or is it application specific?

Well first we need a version of Skype that lets you log in. (It doesn't work on Galaxy S devices)

I was going to say, but you beat me to it... I been waiting since mid 2009 for this damn app, first on AT&T and now on my TMO Vibrant. Getting very sick of the wait, in fact this is getting down right evil of them....

The only skype app. Other then the skype light. Doesnt allow calls only chat.

The normal skype is verizon only. What it does is call a white-listed verizon number to allow data to pass trough it for free.

There is no way up until now. Even fring is now cut off skype.

Just wait.
