I'm doing a bit of international travel next week. Just got off the phone with VZW. The woman on the other end of the line told me that, even when internationally roaming, calls are free. Not free except for data. As in you don't get charged. Even over 3G (since it doesn't work over WiFi). I don't think that she was right. Can anyone confirm this? I would have much less trouble believing this if Skype were enabled with WiFi.

Is there a mod out there that allows Skype over WiFi?
just announced and released, a new version of Skype that CAN use wifi, something everyone was clamoring for. I have not loaded up yet, but might try later today and see how wifi works. it is getting okay Comments, but not great. Huge 14mb - which for rooted people is okay as we can force it to the SD card as it is not native SD card app though. No video ability. apparently sign-out or logging off is a bit tricky and hidden.

I have an HTC Magic and I have a couple of contacts who I frequently talk with on skype. Is there anyway to talk with them skype-to-skype on the Android phone?
The Skype Lite app does not allow calling.
I don't mind either calling using my local minutes OR using my data plan.
Are there any other applications that could assist me with this?
My dad is going overseas and has a BlackBerry Storm with Skype and I have a Droid with Skype. Can I call him overseas for free using skype? I know that if we both used our laptops to talk it would be free, so is there any difference in using skype mobile to skype mobile?

Mine has been horrible as far as call quality. Almost unusable. I'm on 3G. I was wondering if there were any settings that needed to be enabled or unenabled? My Skype WiFi works great.

Every time I try to login I get this error: "Skype couldn't connect over your phone connection" I can use the same login/password on Skype on my computer and it works fine. Maybe I'm entering my phone number incorrectly? Has anyone on the Rogers network been able to get Skype to work?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to invoke skype application and make a call from skype when a 'skype me' link (eg: skype://1866012345) is clicked from a webview. Can someone help how to do this?
I tried the following:
Downloaded skype application from market (in my driod 2.2).
When launching skype, the package invoked is 'skype.android.raider' - as per ADB logs.
So I tried invoking a ACTION_VIEW intent with cmp=com.skype.raider/.ui.call.SplashScreenActivity or cmp=com.skype.raider/.ui.call.SkypeOutCallActivity
and data=Uri.parse("skype://1866012345"). These did not work.
(I also did find a few posts suggesting to use skypelite component, but I guess I should ve skype lite installed for that, which could not find in the market. I assume skype lite is not in market anymore.)
(Also, i have to be able to make a phone call or email when corresponding links are clicked from WebView. As of now, I have added custom handling for each of these, but wondering if webview by default would not support it. Is there any webview setting to be enabled t do this? Any idea??)
