  • If you use the Skype app on phone then it doesnt matter who starts the call you still have to pay right ?

  • @Rs2Thor Just like with Skype on your computer, Skype-to-Skype calling and instant messaging is free from your phone. You will require a little Skype Credit or a subscription to call landlines and mobile numbers, which are charged at regular Skype rates. Thanks for asking, Skype YouTube Community Manager.

  • I am shopping for an android cell phone with wifi, dual sim, 3g. None of the ebay adds show skype as an app. Does it act the same as if on a pc? I was hoping that being dual sim, I could use one sim for my phone service and one as my internet. Any help would be appreciated. I guess what i'm asking is what is the minimum requirements for skype on an android based phone. Thanks

  • @unclewooly To run Skype on your Android phone, you will need a supported phone running Android OS version 2.1 or above with least 27MB of free memory space on your handset and 600Mhz or more processing power. But, due to Android restrictions, devices running Android 2.2 will only be able to use the rear-facing camera. Devices with Android 2.3 or higher will be able to use both front and rear-facing cameras. Thanks for asking, Skype YouTube Community Manager.

  • when you make skype to skype calls with the app does it use voip? so that it's totally free like it is on the PC? or will it use my mobile contract minutes? i have a skype app on my fone at the moment and it uses my mobile contract minutes, also, I can only make calls to other skype users, other skype users can not call ME. when someone tries to call me on skype, they get a message saying 'user busy'.

  • @binashraf It's free to call anyone else on Skype, but a WiFi connection or mobile data plan is required. I suggest checking that your privacy settings are set to "Allow calls from anyone", if this doesn't work try checking our community support network at community.skype.com. Thanks for asking, Skype YouTube Community Manager.

  • @skype i have already set it to allow calls from anyone. also, the skype app i had before didn't ask me to enter my mobile number when i sign in and That skype app was free to all other skype users, then i updated to a newer version of the skype app and now it asks me to enter my mobile number whenever i sign in, and it uses my mobile contract minutes when i call people on skype.

  • @binashraf I am sorry about the issue you are facing, but I do not have an answer to that because Skype does not use your mobile phone provider's minutes. I would direct you to our Android support site community.skype.com/t5/Android­­/bd-p/Android where you can find customer support. Thanks for asking, Skype YouTube Community Manager.

  • How do I send someone instant messages using Skype mobile? I can type up an entire message, no problem, but I can't find any button that lets me actually send it.

  • @dushanbe4 We have an Android support page for sending and receiving text and instant messages at support.skype.com/en-us/faq/FA­11039/How-do-I-send-and-receiv­e-instant-messages-and-texts-u­sing-Skype-for-Android. Thanks for asking, Skype YouTube Community Manager.

  • @nachocheese06 no. You only pay for skype credit when yoou choose

  • How do you comment cause my android won't let me D: HELP ME PLEASE!

  • @Sarahblog  Send it! it wont let me send it.

  • do you have to pay for skype everytime you go into the app?

  • @nachochese06 There is no connection fee for logging into Skype from your mobile phone. You can send IMs and make Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls for free and call phones at great low Skype rates on the move. Thanks for asking, Skype YouTube Community Manager.

  • WE WANT SKYPE FOR WINDOWS PHONE! MICROSOFT GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!

  • how do i video call on skype on my samsung galaxy ace! it says i can when i log in but i have checked in settings and cant find anything!?

  • @kelseyml16 We have an Android video calling support guide at support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110­19/How-do-I-make-video-calls-w­ith-Skype-for-Android. While video calling can be enabled on most Android phones, this feature isn’t available on all models just yet. If the option to enable video calling does not appear when you select a contact or in your settings menu, it means your phone does not currently support video calling. Thanks for asking, Skype YouTube Community Manager.

  • I have samsung galaxy w .... So , can I get his app in it ???? 

  • Skype.... You y no let me send photos?!

  • Why cant I use the cam on skype on my 3.2 samsung android? im in the u.s

  • Can we make free Video calls using the front facing camera?

  • @Manmeetthebadboy Yes you can

  • @oneHellvalley how do you make the free video calls with your front facing cameras?

  • Comment removed

  • @GuitarKirillable Because it calls MORE money

  • anyone knows if skype for Htc wildfire provides sms services?? it didn't use to..

  • gosh..such a poor video..dear god..amateur

  • @670Kiester not only is this video poor but out of date...the Skype app looks nothing like that now.

  • can Coby Kyros mid7024 use skpye it has front facing cam and mic

  • what phone did he use? what model 

  • its always using the SPAKERPHONE

  • Skype could allow android phones withour FRONTAL CAMERA do a Video Call. Like Milestone.... I know that it's not a "REAL" Video Call, but we could use it for showing people some place that we are... Like when u r traveling and see something cool... We could use our Primary Camera to show our friends that place ;)

  • It does not work!

    It either says unsupported phone on androis 2.2

    or it says pls reinstall

    It just WON'T WORK.

    So no VOIP with skype on android. that sucks

  • what about optimus m

  • can someone use skype to call off an android phone on someones computer???

  • NO VIDEO CALLING ON SAMSUNG INFUSE 4G.

  • Is skype works on htc sensation 4g???

  • how do i log out :P

  • i have nokia X6 ...hw 2 get skyp  vdo call ...

  • hey i have galazy s and i cant make video skype calls what up?

  • I know what it looks like until the login screen on my Android. NOT A STEP FURTHER. Quite useless for me.

  • During regular phone calls (not Skype) the screen goes dark when you put your phone next to your ear.

    On my DroidX, the screen never goes dark during Skype calls, and remains sensitive to touch input -- so when I hold the phone next to my ear, I keep pressing various controls on the screen with my ear. It is very frustrating, and sometimes even disconnects me -- the "sign of" function is near the ear speaker, at the top of the screen!

    Anyone has the same problem? How do you deal with it?

  • @chris978820 international calls, genius!

    )))

  • @dmitriy40 or international video calls from a cell phone. if international calls is genius then international video calls is even more genius

  • @chris978820 I'm aware of the benefits of a video call, I've been using Skype for few years now, from my computer. You wrote that Skype without video "is useless", but I find it extremely useful. Yes, I would welcome video, just as I would welcome flying cars and time travel. ))) But my DroidX, just like millions of cell phones, doesn't even have a front facing camera, and video calls require crazy bandwidth and speed anyway, and my 3G connection speed varies all the time, and video would suck.

  • @chris978820 Skype, even without video, is a great thing, it keeps me in touch with my family and friends in Moscow FOR FREE! You can talk with someone 3 blocks away, or 3 thousand miles away, without using your cell plan minutes, and if you have unlimited data plan, like I do on Verizon, THESE CONVERSATIONS COST YOU NOTHING!

    Why would you call it useless?

    )))

  • @dmitriy40 no u do have to pay. If u use skype to call a cell phone skype charges per minutes. I go to skype.com often to see if they added video calling so i know that hasn't changed. I do admit skype is still useful to talk to people over seas but skypes most popular feature has always been video calling and everyone knows that. So without video calling skype is nothing more than an IM app with the ability to call ppl. If they add video calling it can b the most popular video chat app again

  • @chris978820 again, if you use Skype to call between 2 smartphones, both equipped with Skype, or if you call someone's computer, these calls do not consume your cell plan minutes. If you have Thunderbolt, you're on Verizon, like I am, right? And you have unlimited data. So you can talk ENDLESSLY with any other Skype account, without consuming a single cell plan minute.

  • @dmitriy40 yea. Didn't i already say that? Lol. But skypes most popular feature since day 1 has always been video calling. Not many ppl knew about it until it got more popular recently. Without video chat its nothing more then an IM app with the ability to call ppl. If you look at the comments for skype on droid market 4 out of every 5 comments r complaining about no video. I look everyday and theres always like 20+ new complaints everyday. So im deff not the only one who thinks that

  • @chris978820 You represent a relatively small number of people who are lucky to enjoy 4G. My 3G speeds sometimes suck pretty bad, and I am sure Skype video would be horribly choppy on 3G. And I did mention that my DroidX has no front cam, just like most smartphones in use today. Your equipment and 4g data plan allow you to have decent video calls, so you are impatient. Be cool, I'm sure video is coming! Skype is such a great program, it's free, it doesn't deserve "useless" label.

  • @dmitriy40 u probably havent heard but verizon is already talking about getting rid of 3g starting in 2013 by releasing 4g only phones. which means that "small number of people" with 4g that u mentioned will soon become the entire verizon population. video calling is good on 4g. but as a 4g thunderbolt user i downloaded a hacked version of skype with video calling and tryed it on 4g, 3g, and wifi. its perfect on 4g and its also really good on 3g.

  • @dmitriy40 so i dont know how someone without video calling AND without a front cam phone could say 3g video chat is choppy when i tryed it and it works great. and since the thunderbolts biggest selling point before it was released was that it would come preloaded with skype with video but then they took it off a few days before its release then yea i have a good reason to b impatient. i already have a hacked version of skype with video calling but i'd still like an official version.

  • @dmitriy40 just take a look at the comments for the skype mobile app in android market. u will see that im deff not the only 1 who wants video.

  • @chris978820

    Dude what about international calls ,, I use skype alot for voice/video calls to keep in touch with my friends and family in different country

  • @bullseye9572 thats one reason. But video calling with them is completely free and u can hear AND see them. Thats something skype hasn't figured out yet. That video calling someone in same country or different country is better than just talking to them. Since u can also turn your cam off if u dont want them to see u. So yea. Skype still sucks without video calling. I downloaded a hacked version of skype on my thunderbolt non rooted until they officially release it.

  • And VIDEO CALL!!?

  • If you guys wanna use video calling on skype with ur mobile, use iPhone 4

    Awsomeness....

  • i cant found this app at market android.....how i can find it if i wan to use it....please guide something

  • @raferayce89 : Use iPhone 4 :P

  • VIDEO CALL !!! 

  • Needs video chat

  • does skype work on the mytouch 4g??

  • @Catalyst8D No, calls doesn't work at 4g network T-mobile. In the USA Skype-to-Skype calls and calling phones are limited to WiFi only. :(

  • I cant find it on android market ( HTC Desire )

  • i love skype....it lets me connect with my friends and family tht i cant see normaly

  • On my wildfire it blows, keeps lagging, and I have good connection (6Mbs)...

  • this is just awesome!

  • on android is a nice app called tango.

    perfect for video calls

    

  • 3.0 works fine but the appearance sucks! contacts hudge of size (dont need the f-ing thumbs!) and unable to sort by status. msgs uses too much space because of stupid "nice shaped" boxes. f.y. it is not flexible app.! (tested on galaxy)

  • yo dawg, i heard you like cellphones...

  • Comment removed

  • he's friends with peter parker!?!?!?!

  • @BananaSluggg peter parkes.... not parker....

  • @techgoggles aww i was all excited :( lol

  • finally! great app on acer liquid with 2.1 eclair

    5* on market ,in my opinion just needs better login sistem, good quality both over 3g and wifi

  • who's going to buy this phone!!!!

  • doesnt work on samsung vibrant.

    F.Y.I - On the Droid phones SKYPE USES VERIZON'S VOICE NETWORK TO DO CALLS. It is proven in a test video done by someone else. It DOES NOT use wifi and it DOES NOT use 3G

  • Does video call works? Somone please tell me!

  • but it doesnt support my samsung galaxy s........disappointed

  • @nelsonchiu2004 have u tried on samsung galaxy s? doesn't work? WTF!

  • 870dq50 705783 7x2185l gfg6h1r 22o4

  • wow talk about being late, iphone has had this waaaay back and you dont see them posting promo vids.

  • @CamaroHappy That's because they finally responded to the demand from Android users

  • @CamaroHappy I think they (Skype) are doing the ad and making a big deal about it just because it is so late in coming...

  • BORIS JOHNSON!

  • 1fov 2sg0 18c50 g3t1

  • تمااااااااااااااام ok

  • been waiting for Skype for my phone. Sadly, I only almost installed this. The app requires pretty liberal access to my personal information on my phone and system settings. Is there a document that explains how all these are used and what protections are in place to protect my personal info?

  • only for certain phones not all android

  • I love this app, way better than the verizon verison. Verizon version has horrible voice quality.

  • when can we make video calls with skype via mobile apps?

  • 0381o kcq6t 477h6b1 voyfwk

  • Lenovo Laptop :)

  • where is the Skype for BlackBerry????

  • Hahahaha your black!!!!

  • Whats the point of paying for skype when you pay for monthly minutes and text stupid program :/

  • @mofoviglen

    When he said about paying, he's talking about using the skype phone service. And it has better transcontinental rates, that's why it's better.

  • Comment removed

  • Skype uses Internet Explorer? WTF?

  • @igitur1978 it uses whatever your default browser is.

  • IGalaxy rules, samsung rules

  • @Elsupertodo works on galaxy s?

  • Better later than never!!

  • @YaDunn0 whahahaha

  • This is so old in Japan..

  • cant log in :S

  • Not available for wildfire :L

  • /watch?v=KFy4hKdk6HQ

  • I cant log in on my galaxy s... D:

  • voice quality on Hero SUX!!!!!! I'd say the android app is poorly written! OPTIMISE guys - come on!

  • great

  • There is no money in 'free', which is why eBay, who own it, won't improve it.

  • 43141k etv0ogr fv8 2s41468 d441p8

  • You need an Apps to SD function. 14mb sucks

  • 4201i2w s8u6y7c j2ylc bw1i

  • c3502b6 ko4f d67 2sgq8l gn6504

  • wtf is the point of this when theres no video chat?

  • @pnjabiruff free skype to skype calls

  • Skype sucks. Even the desktop app is dodgy.

  • NO 3G NEARLY USELESS

  • Downloaded but It doesn't allow me to login, apparently this is the same the world over and is a system error. HTC Desire, T-Mobile.

  • You could video call with Fring but then Skype blocked them like giant palpitating assholes, so screw you Skype, way to shoot yourself in the foot.

  • @BopNiblets Use the new Tango app instead.

  • @Ome99 tango sux its too choppy

  • video call possible on front facing camera Androids or no? without video call, this is just useless

  • Works like a charm on my HTC hero with android 2.1 eclair. I wonder if i also can do video calls if i had a front vga camera like fring. I love skype and the rates are also awesome. The only thing is that this is the first version for android and they need to tweak the call quality a bit. I get crackling sound when calling over 3G and WIFI.

    If you have an android phone this is a must app for your android phone. Go download it NOW!!!

  • Finally! About time skype came to Android...

  • Works on my GS on the JPK 2.2 firmware...

  • what about video calls?

  • thanks Skype works wow

  • when they sey you can't call unless you are in the US is Calling to real phones , no? Between skype is worldwide ?

  • Works awesome on my HTC! Thank you, Skype!

  • Not working on Samsung Galaxy S :(((((((
