Hi Guys,
I've just switched network provided and left three (uk). I used to use the 'Skype on 3' application and I'm struggling to find a replacement app for this that would work on my new provider - using normal data.
Fring seems to be missing Skype
Nimbuzz takes light years to get skype to connect
I just want a clean, working Skype app - just like the 3 one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

there's no skype for android besides three version ... i just got old skype lite beta to chat - but you're not able to make calls with it
errr how come? the skype on 3 app works great to be honest.
can't it be modified to work with any provider?
there are rumors the skype makers are working on a fully usable skype version for android - but that's just it ... don't have any further info on this
i have a discontinued skype app, that calls a landline in the uk and then allows all interantyional and skype calls to be routed, basically the same as the 3 one but witha different access number.
if you search the forums you should find the apk, otherwise pm me
Also there is Nimbuzz which can connect to skype (also allows skype calls to be made) and several other networks like yahoo, ICQ etc.

I have nimbuzz but it's rubbish for skype to be honest - it takes ages to connect! Then says its online yet everybody is still offline.

I just got my A500 yesterday and spent all night and day trying to figure out if it was possible to make phone calls, receive phone calls, send and receive text messages. Finally found the solution and it works great. Its a given that you will need to be on Wifi or 3G (tethering or Portable WLAN). Using a FREE app called Viber allows you to make FREE calls and text messages over Wifi and 3G/4G to other Viber users (Android and iOS), what sets this app apart from others is that it maintains your phone #, no need for a new #, pin or username. Only problem is that upon setup the app requires to send you a text message to verify your phone number to setup your account, which is NOT possible on the Acer. I found a simple work around this to problem, so here we go!
What you need:
1. Rooted phone (Android of course)
2. Viber App, its FREE (attached) (Phone ONLY)
3. Rooted Acer
4. Titanium Backup (Installed on both devices)
Instructions:
1. Install Viber on your phone and set up your account, very simple and fast.
2. After installation and confirmation (important: I would make a call or send a few text messages to make sure it's working),
3. Open Titanium Backup and make a back up of Viber
4. Transfer the back up of Titanium Backup to your Acer, make sue you place it the correct folder: sdcard/TitaniumBackup (or where ever you store your Titaniun Backups on your Acer).
5. Open Titanium Backup on your Acer and Restore the Viber app with data
That's it you can now make calls and text messages using Viber, the voice quality is awesome and the speaker is loud and clear!
Hopes this helps, it did for me
You can send invites to your contacts within the Viber app, once someone installs and setups Viber you will receive a pop up notice.
***Do NOT run Viber on both devices at the same time, it may cause FC and routing calls/text messages to the wrong device, simply shut down Viber (More>>Exit) on the device you are not using***
how can you do it?

If you have Google Voice you can use Groove IP to make free calls to any mobile and landline

Decent find on making an app work. Question, what's wrong with Skype or gtalk?
I still want an app that enables an android phone tether with the acer iconia via bluetooth,usb or wifi and you are able to text and call people on your tablet.

As for me... I have 16 family/friends on gtalk (only 4 sign on & more than half the time they never notice I sent them a message, "I didnt know") or they are NEVER signed on, either they dont know how to sign on or dont use it at all. Skype, I have 0 family/friends that use it and I not to crazy about it... I just like the simplicity of Viber and ease of use, when you get a text message a pop up appears (like HancentSMS) and you can reply right from there.
I guess what it comes down to is personal preference
would this conflict with google voice?

No not at all, thats the beauty of this app, it does NOT use your google voice number. It uses your actual cell number
I've been using Viber on my phone along with google voice and when people call or text me using Viber it does not effect google voice at all.
Awesome! Works great only downside I found is it will auto rout to the tab unless you turn it off when trying to call to the phone!
But that is minor compared to the awesomeness of the text and calling.! I love how I do not have to leave the app im in to reply.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this tip. I just got it on my tab and placed a call and its great. The odd force close, but otherwise great

good it work~~~

Yeah, you really shouldnt have both Viber services running on both devices... Turn one off when using another (guess I should add that to the OP)
The pop up is awesome, dont need to leave your current app to reply

The FC happens here and there, mostly when running Viber on both devices, close one before starting the other and you should be good to go!

Okay just so I'm clear on how viber works... The person i'm sending the text/call to must also have viber installed correct?

+1. If I can't get my friends and family to use Skype etc they're not going to use this.

Yes that is correct... The FREE app can be found in the Market (Android) and in the App Store (Apple iOS)

The difference is that this app runs in the background, your friends and family DONT need to log in, when you call from Viber the phone rings right away, just like your stock phone app does (its just purple). When you text someone a pop up appears on the screen... see attachements
(Yes I have a friend that's a d!ck head and a brother I call Monster)
perhaps a silly question, but it wasnt specified... does the phone need to be pluggd into the tab for this to work? r once its set up it will function as long as there is wifi?
from Sams inFuse... inFused GB

No it does not ... You can leave the phone at home, car or wherever. As long as you have some sort of data connection, whether it be wifi or tethered 3g/4g
Hi all,
I have aquestion and couldn't find any reply on this forum: Does anyone know how to configure a transfer of all my incoming SMS/MMS to another number?
FYI: I got a new phone from my job and don't need to carry my Defy+ around with me all the time anymore. I set up a call transfer to receive incoming calls on the new phone but it doesn't work for messages.
What I'm looking to do is basically the same thing as setting up a rule on your e-mail to transfer everything to a second address. If I'm not clear please let me know and I'll explain.
thanks !
Anyone?

Try any sms forwarding app in play store. for eg. SMS FORWARDER (sorry, n00bs can't post links)
but every fwd msg will cost you...
you could also provide your contacts with the new number
Try SMS backup +. Can't restore MMS, but can transfer sms to other phone.

Is there a way to customize text message notifications for individual contacts . I can do it for the ringtones but not the messages. if there isn't a way does anyone know of a free app that would make it so I could do this.
thank you
Use another SMS app with that function.
