Skype for Android was updated with a new video voice-mail feature. Users can now record and send up to three minutes of video to anyone in the world at the click of a record button. Anyone with iOS, OS X and Android can record the message, and anyone on any platform can receive the message. The service only seems to work via your front-facing camera. Audio and video quality were decent if not spectacular.
The option to record a video message appears every time you try to call someone and they fail to answer. Or you can also send a video message straight from your contacts list.
The feature is only available to those who've signed up for premium accounts, i.e. accounts where you pay a flat rate for unlimited calls to land-line numbers. These accounts start at around $5 a month. For now, though, Skype allows you to send 20 for free as a limited-time trial offer.
