T-Mob are now allowing calls to any suppliers 07744 numbers again out of X-Net Inclusive Minutes.
This means free international calls.
But I have to prefix the 07444xxx number to my contacts.
I do not want to save my contacts with the prefix because I also call them without the prefix (e.g. when roaming)
Is there an application to do that ? I've tried PhoneCard 1.2 but it doesn't seem to work...
Any other proram to dial a contact with a prefix ? or to dial a contact while in a call ?

I mean that you can call a 07744 provider and then call any international number... i
f you have x-network minutes allowance in your contract (
e.g.. 400minutes free) then you will not be charged for the call...
It will use your free minutes...

jesus this will save me a few quid!
cheers cant belive i didnt know about this?
I wish there was something like that here on the other side of the Atlantic. I just tried calling 00447744200006 with my own calling card, thinking then to dial another international destination (because calls to the UK are cheaper than to that destination). My calling card does not allow calls to 00447744200006 - the call just does not get connected. That makes sense - my calling card wants to make their money too. :x
where can i find installer of skype for my x2? i have nimbuzz but when i call when they answer the call..they cant hear me and i dont hear them..
sorry had to delete link
just a heads up, today when i tried to launch skype it gave me a message say "skype for xperia mobile application is not designed for this device" when i made a few angry calls and spent a few hours hours on google i've come to the conclusion that skype has fully dropped support for windows mobile devices. so the skype app i posted DOES NOT WORK but i have found an app called fring that allows your to use skype but i haven't tried it yet. well sorry about the bad news and good luck to anybody trying to get skype to work.
Skype for EXPERIA X2
In Russian firmware R3AA035 (last at this time)
not working IP telephonia: skype or sipnet, voice from the microphone blocked on hardware or drivers level.
Not working sound recording during a telephone conversation, too blocked at the hardware or driver level.
Do not operate a missed call indicators.
I find the time and will return to court for compensation, would recommend to everybody to do likewise.
It's a joke SE?
why do I pay for it?
Skype no more support Windows Mobile, you can use old version (worked on other phones WM)

It had almost 1 year that fring does not work with skype account...
I know only 2 other skype clients for winmo: Nimbuzz and iSkoot.
Fring can ringing on skype and skype can ringing on fring(additional settings needed), but not from XPERIA X2.
Sound from microphone of X2 is blocked or scrambled or something else.
I can hear only a part of words on good WIFI connection.
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?!

(full) Skype on Android, is it coming????
I found this from May 2010 (come on Skype it is about time, time to catch the market or we all move on...)
http://skattertech.com/2010/05/skype-mobile-coming-to-sprint-htc-evo-4g/
"Skype envisions a world where video plays a larger role in the way we communicate. The next generation innovation involving video calling will not be bound to the computer. We’re seeing a proliferation of video calling shared between all kinds of connected devices. It’s on computers (today 1/3 of all calls on Skype happen via video), televisions (Skype bringing video calls to living rooms via Panasonic, Samsung & LG partnership), and it will eventually be coming to mobile devices too. We’re betting big on video, and we intend to set the bar on mobile video calling, and it’s something we’re going to do this year.
We will be bringing a direct to consumer app to the Android marketplace later this year. This application will be available for all consumers globally to download regardless of carriers. (i.e. similar to how we offer the iPhone app today)"
– Brianna Reynaud, Skype PR
Skype’s bold statement was clear on two things: they will be launching a mobile video calling service as well as a standard Android app this year.
Update 5/28/10 9:41AM: After a quick phone call from Skype’s PR team early this morning, it looks like they may have pulled the trigger a bit too soon with this comment. According to Reynaud, Skype will definitely be releasing a “direct-to-consumer” Android App this year, however the aren’t completely disclosing whether mobile video calling is an included feature.

Skype is available to users in (just about) any country, providing free video chat to both parties (for now at least)....simple enough until Google roles something more universal out.
A. People already have a large base of contacts on Skype.
B. Google voice isn't available outside to the majority of the worlds population, who just happen to live outside the USA.

I have Google Voice on my SGS, and I had to go through great lengths to get it, as I'm not from USA. That right there is your first reason for wanting Skype. Skype is global. Then, once I had everything installed, I noticed that Google Voice uses a callback system. This results in significant lag if you' re outside of USA. Also, Skype is both a chat, a voice, and a video call software, packaged nicely into one app. If you' re in USA, I understand why GV is more appealing to you, but everywhere else Skype makes more sense.

exactly, i would LOVED to use Google Voice, but it only works if you are in the USA, if you are not in USA you get an error message.
Skype IS already available for Android, but it only works for the #3 network in UK, its locked to only work on #3 network SIM cards
if some one can maybe HACK that version of skype and ignore the check for #3 network, then we can all use it
Fring
You should use Fring. It is free! it can do video conferencing sms(chat) and make phone calls. I use it for a while now with some other people and it works FANTASTIC! I recommend testing fring first before going to pay for something that can be freely done.
nimbuzz is also a good option.

Can you make a post, or link to an article, regarding your set up and results of Google Voice (what lags and how much? How long did it take to set up? Do you have full functionality? Do you only use a tiny bit of it's full functionality due to competing services being better? etc.). I find Google Voice easy to download, but I never really tried to extract its functionality. Would you do it all over again? Please, the more information, in a "overseas review" like form, the better and the process used would be great!
Thanks in advance.

Nimbuzz automatically unblocks your skype contacts -.- Never had the skype voip work but for IM it works alright. An official skype app would be quite wanted.

You can use GV outside the USA fairly easily by a combination of SipDroid and ipkall.com
i suppose using ip relay service would work, but that usually inherit a certain lag, definitely not something you want in a VoiceIP call.
even when browsing a website ifyou use IP relays it always gets delays

Because there are millions of android users outside US who don’t have access to google voice. Skype is sometimes even used synonymously with VOIP, there is a huge demand for it. That’s why so many people ask for it. Even businesses use it as their official telephony method for overseas calling.

Have you tried this yourself ?? SIP relaying introduces a huge delay. And the last time I tried SipDroid I had a terrible echoing problem as well.

Fring is not really an alternative to Skype, for one, it doesn’t support Skype, you can make voice calls for some other networks (gtalk, MSN) but the client has a huge delay and a terrible echo to the point where it is almost unusable. I have tried fring on different countries in Asia Pacific region with very good Wi-Fi and 3G connections, but results were almost same. Very rarely I could get a usable connection, so you cant rely on it. Video calls only work between fring clients, and there is no desktop version that supports video calling, this IMO severely limits usability. Besides, video calling is provided at reasonable rates in many countries in the asia pacific region, so there is not much of a need to use a VOIP client to make domestic video calls between cell phones. Same goes for Nimbuzz (perhaps the delay and echo is even worse). So neither of those clients is usable, at least on Galaxy S in some of the Asian Pacific countries.
Either Skype has become a puppet of Verizon, or they don’t care anymore, because they get enough money already mainly from PC clients and Verizon partnership.
Anyways, I have given up hope of using Skype on my mobile, now using a VOIP service that support call back (12voip.com). Their IDD rates are cheaper than Skype (even after paying for calls both ways : incoming to your phone and outgoing to other phone), voice quality is not too bad either.
Fring is not support in 2.2 for the time being... you can install but you cant make proper voice call... so dont even try to mention video call...

Search the internet...i once stumble upon a website on how to enable google voice outside US to call someone in the US..as i dont really have anyone to call in the US, i did not really pay attention..just by glancing thru..the site gives step by step direction from setting up an account right to the last step of making and recieving calls.
Hope this helps.

Yes. Get voip working.on your phone.
Get free short term fake USA telephone number voip from your sip provider, and forward it to your phone.
Search internet for the paypal test credit card numbers, pick say amex one.
Go to google voice website through anonymous proxy server based in USA.
register using an email that you aren't already using in uk gmail.
Done.
Phew.
I made some posts about my experience trying to get voip forwarding to work. (following a guide in this forum).
But it does. I used pbxes.org as sip provider.
