Although it is a moot point for you as you are jailbroken, Skype now works over 3G on non-jailbroken iPhones. And it isn't too bad either.

When that functionality was released, Skype indicated that they would be chraging a premium for it eventually. After some backlash from Skype users, they have since announced that they won't be charging for calls over 3G. (And, in my opinion, rightfully so. You're already using your own data from your plan.)

When I travel (within Canada, obviously), the Skype app and some Skype credit that I purchased means that I can call long distance for really cheap (or free if they're on Skype) over 3G.
