I think Verizon Wireless has some sort of exclusivity on the Skype app.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/skype-mobile/android/
Skype exists, but right now, it's limited to Verizon in the US.
(Also, the program is called Fring. How many times can you misspell the word "Fring" in one thread??)
Fring or Fringe that is not the point.
As long it does not allow us to make skype calls i realy do not care how you spell it
Fring or Fringe cause it is useless to me.
Alright guys, i gues i can forget skype fo rnow.. but is there any other software like skype where i can buy credits and make voip call sover wifi and 3g???
http://www.truphone.com/applications/devices/android/ it seems it is what you are looking for... i think, you can find it in the market
i searched the market for voip apps and a i got quite a few
so you should look an see if there is any that is good for you
I always use Nimbuzz to make free calls via skype. Lite version of Skype does not give call function. It is just that other person has to login to skype, as I am not not using any credit....
Are u still using nimbuzz, last time i checked nimbizz didnt offered skype out calls on android.

Thanx alot bro but this is too expensive i have US and Canada for 2.99 mth unlimited.

I think it was the other way around, it was Skype's decision to remove there service from Fring cuz thery're not profiting from them and Fring is gaining more recognition over the Android platform. I am a long time user of Skype and I pay $13.99 a month for the Unlimited World plan just to call my gf in Thailand. It is sad to know that they removed their service from Fring but this can also mean that they're developing an app of their own that could make VoIP calling over Android possible? Nonetheless, i'm still getting my White Rachael

Thanks buddy.
I know it's nitpicking but man am I getting tired of people calling Fring > Fringe.
Yes - It does matter because it's called Fring.

Hi I just want to ask if any of u make to skype work ? i download the version for version wireless bat not success thanx for help
Won't work cause the Verizon version uses Verizon own voice connection to handle the call. Also the app dials a specific Verizon number when you make a call. So it will never work on anything but Verizon phones

Just unzip it and get the *.apk to the phone. Then you can install it. The app is working great for me but will it work over WiFi? When it asks for your phone number, is that supposed to be your cell or Skype DID?

I have a skype apk and it works, its a BETA but it still works you can chat and call, I kept the apk for awhile, there is another that you can only chat with this one you can make calls. I can send to you if your interested.
It is awesom BETA Skype. I through I was dreaming.
I was about to start hating Skype but now it is all changed.
All i wanted is to be able to use Skype while at home or work and chat with my family abrode skype-to-skype.
I have a question, it asks for the phone number when I login?!
Should I enter my cell number when I do that?
Like for example +1858 and mobile number?
What is this number for?
Is it for caller ID to be displayed if you call land line or mobile?
My second question is can you make land line or mobile calls from this version or just skype to skype?
When I installed it asked me if I wanted to all Call IN and that it would use my Skype Credit minutes for it?!
How does that work?
could you send me a beta skype thingy? Would really to call my family overseas
(does it work over wifi? or minutes)

Its your phone number that skype people can call you at but you will have to pay for these calls. Skype works for free only between registered skype callers so the first think you need to do is register online at there website, during this time you will need to create a "name", its like a member name this is how skype people call other skype people not with an actual phone number although you can buy a phone number so you can call non members and non members can call you through skype. I will send you an email with a link to down load the apk. You do need to enter a phone number when logging on I just put my real mobile number, actually its my GV number. But when first running the apk you will be asked who you want to call you, choose "only skype members", unless you buy a number but like I said you will be asked to fill in a phone number.
I just tried the app and unfortunately it totally sucks ;-(
It is trying to imitate Google Voice with the call back number.
Basically it uses your voice service and does not work on wifi or 3G to make calls even skype-to-skype totally lame. What is the point?!

Yes, it's actually Skype for Windows Mobile.
Works in both WiFi and 3G networks
Yeah, really??????????/
Do you even use it yourself??????????????
Because the MIC is DISabled with Skype on this crappy X2 !
So unless you can post any registry or other trick, skype on X2 is useless!
Erm...
I screwed it big time, haven't I?
I have tested Skype for WM in the early days of my X2, it worked properly back then.
I wasn't aware that the support ceased and 'they' found a way to strangle VoIP.
My apologies to all concerned.
yours humbly marius
Has anyone got nimbuzz working for the i9000? When I make a call to another person over skype they can hear me clearly but I can never hear the other person anyone else got this problem? I hope theres a fix out there cos its a shame that such a powerful device doesn't even have voip my friends old black and white nokia haas voice calling and he's slating my awesome phone lol how its that possible that an old beat up nokia can voice chat but I can't? What about the old skype.jar file? Can that work using j2me runner?
Please help!

install fringe
it works
it can do video calls too
and also does MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, AOL, SIP (whatever that is)
after installing fringe i removed Google Talk, MSN, and Yahoo chat from my phone, since that single app can do it all
But lemmie guess, with fringe, does it use the speaker only?
Because I use sipdroid, but since it uses the loudspeaker, there is lots of echo. On the i7500, they apparently used another kernel to fix these issues.
I can't use fring because its blocked in the uae if I could I'd run to use it lol could someone tell me why nimbuzz isn't working? That's my only option now cos talkonaut is ****e

Fring support seems to be working hard on the Galaxy S audio and video issue.
Is there no one who has used nimbuzz successfully here?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I recall it working fine the last time I had it installed. Don't have it anymore as I reflashed my phone and trying to cut down on apps I don't use.
people say they can hear me but i cant hear them i cant imagine what the problem is
Fring doesn't support Skype video calling anymore... what does it use for video calling? Just its own protocols?
Also, it's annoying because you cannot set the notifications in Fring - it's the same annoying vibration!

I tried nimbuzz to msn , and it worked fine on a Galaxy S
Fring doesnt support Skype anymore at all.. no? not just video calls..
Fring is working fine here, doesnt support skype anymore for now but evrybody have msn right?
Sipdroid supports video calls but I didnt try it yet so I dont know how it works.
If you are interested just in sip calling, I just found a very nice app
light and with a very good call quality and no configuration needed, just sip settings : mobileVOIP
Well you do need an account with a supported voip provider
I'll try this when I get home thanks although I need skype to work msn would still be good

I installed this apk but I can't use this skype to call my online contacts. Can you use this app to call your online skype friends from your X10?
It can't make calls...Check out Fring in the market, I know it used to let you make Skype calls, but I'm not sure if the app still works because of some legal issues with Skype.
Not Fring
Fring was cut off from access to Skype.
There are a few apps that talk to Skype IM (such as Meebo) but not voice.
In May Skype said that they would make an Android client for all phones to be released sometime this year (right now there is a limited version that only works with/over Verizon). But there hasn't been any update from Skype since then.
Nimbuzz lets you make Skype calls... and SkypeOut calls over 3G as well.

The reason no such thing exists for Android is because of Verizon Wireless buying exclusive rights for their Android phones only.
The official Skype application is probably one of the worst "official" Android apps out there. Also, there's no such thing as "free Skype calls". Thanks to Verizon, the official app uses your plan's minutes to make calls.
