Skype working? - Microsoft Lumia 950/950 XL

Hello,
I bought a used Lumia 950.
Almost all important apps are working fine beside Skype.
Skype is opening and asking for the Skype Name. After entering it, the following message pops up: "Oops! Skype is currently unavailable. Please try again later".
My question: Does Skype still work on Windows mobile 10? (I haven't found anything to the contrary) and if yes what can I do?
Thanks

Thank you. This helps me at least to keep on trying.
Is the version you have installed also the one available from the Microsoft Store (2018)?

does not display "CALL FORWARD" for my 2nd phone number

all of my OLD motorola phones seem to function as a phone/dial up modem better, and my more advanced 8125 smartphone is limited.
I have a virtual phone number for my business, and for the old moto's when someone called that number the CID would display "CALL FORWARD 407-123-4567" (it would show the number of the person calling) and when someone called my AT&T Mobile number it just displays the number. My Cingular 8125 does not do this and tech support will not help me with this issue. I can put my sim card into those older phones (and do nothing further) and visually see that someone called my other phone number and not the main (while displaying their number too).
I need to see the difference between incoming phone calls to my regular number and incoming phone calls to my virtual number (which is forwarded to my cell phone). I am so angry that by upgrading I downgrade other useful/simple functions that I have been using for years. (the other is getting my 8125 to dial my local ISP for my MacBook Pro, instead of the *99# deal listed everywhere... I can make my OLD MOTOs to dial an ISP of my choice to connect my Mac 2 the net)
These forums have helped my way more than AT&T ever has or will! Thanks a bunch guys!!!
HELP!! I to know what number people are calling me at.
I've called tech support several times on this issue and still have not found a solution other than it being my hardware. My goal is just to see a difference when a person calls my virtual phone number(forwarded to my cell) or my actual cell phone number. I can use older hardware and get this to work!
Thanks again.. this is a tuff one!

Can you try this file?
Hi,
Please try this.
Just put it into any dir and run it. It will run at the background and you should get an icon which shows the call is being forwarded from other number.
After you MAKE SURE it works fine on your phone(no crash or other problem...), you may add a link to \windows\startup to make it auto run at startup.
I build the application for my T7272 and it works fine. But I did not test for other platform. Feel free to report bugs.
Good luck.

But in my D2 does not work, there is no way?
Yes, my diamond 2 cannot work with such file yet my Touch Pro can work with.
Could Kingzao help? Many Thanks for such big Good innovation!
Hi,
I do not have a D2 so I cannot test it. However I will try to check the code.
I'd like to share the source code if anybody can help build & test for D2 or other platform.
I am using MS VSS2008 with WM6.1 SDK.
Cheers,

Hello,
I have the same problem (I don't know when somebody call me on my first number or on my second number) on one Samsung i600 with WM 6.5.

Hi Kingzao
Any chance to make it work with WM6.5.....
Thanks for a nice program .....
In my HD2 does not work too.
Hi all,
Sorry I am too busy recently.
Maybe another day I will sort the code and share to who is interseted in.
The code is based on RIL so there may have some problem with different H/W or Radio version.
Anyway, I will try to burn a WM6.5 on T7272 to test whether it is WM6.5 problem or H/W version, if I have spare time.
Cheers,
Kingzao

It does not work in the way it does on 3 phones and they currently do not have any supported winmo phones so what phone do you have and was it supplied by 3.
3 phones have a special skype app bundled with them which detects that a 3 phone its being used as well as a legit 3 account. If neither are detected then the skype over 3 GSM network does not give free skype to skype calls.

i did, and i found the Java version (.jad and .jar files), and i know there is Windows Mobile version of Skype but it will use DATA and charge for it... Three UK on thair own phones uses GSM channel to handle the call making it "data free"
the links in the links in the first post are dead and its stilla Java version of skype not the WinMo version ...
if u think ur thread have usfull info in it, can u post a link ?
and another reason for not doing proper search is that some results date back to 2008, and begging of of 2009
since then Skype stop development of skype for Windows Mobile, Three had relased new phones etc... things changed since...

Fortunately thats not how it works at all.
All 3 does is detect that the data is for skype and let it pass through uncharged. No complex phone or app checking.
edit: Hmm looks like I was wrong... Their credit check system is slow, unless something else used my credit.

You are incorrect in your assertion!
The 3 app is specifically written for sole use on their phones and their network.
You can't use it on an unrecognized phone as the dialer will simply not connect.

It's already built into the phone. When you have a text window open, press the little triangle just to the right of the keyboard icon at the bottom middle of your screen. This will bring up a list to choose which keyboard you want, and swype is one of the options there.

Try closing skype with task manager and then launch skype again. It does that sometimes
excellent. thanks. I just need to figure out the sound issues now but i think i can manage that.

VOIP questions

I have done some research and there is tons of apps for Droid and Apple but not much for WM, even skype stopped producing for WM.
I want to make calls using Wifi on myphone, any apps that allow that?
Even if there is charging for it, just want to find a way how,
any thing on line beats paying international rates.
Please advise, leaving in two days.
Thank you.
Skype still works on WinMo, it just hasn't been updated in ages. You can also use Fring to talk to Skype people. Both work over WiFi or 3G. Use the search here on the forums to find a link to Skype 3.0, the last version they made I do belive.

Thank you for the reply, Fring I looked at but all the download versions they have are for droid none are WM so it wont install.
Ill try to find the skype version, thank you again.
I've used this one and it works great..

There are ways you can setup your phone to use VOIP with the native dialer too - let me know if you want to give that a try.
You can also try sjPhone http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html which also works just fine but it eats up a lot of CPU time.

Thank you for the info, I downloaded the Ageet one, got it installed but cannot figure out how to set it up, keeps giving me SIP network errors, I am assuming I need to make an account with one of the SIP carriers?

[20 Jan][Guide]Get unlock keys for your HD2 WP7 in India and other countries!

BUMP: Microsoft again has changed the policies! Chat seems to be working again!
Thanks to members for the tip. I had a little talk with one of the fellow MS employes and he said, actual WP7 customers were suffering due to the policy change. People were finding it frustrating to have to send scanned copies. So, they made it easier.Enjoy!
BUMP: Microsoft has changed the policies! Now they need scanned copy of IMEI number and product purchase proof! If anybody is able to get key by any other method, do post in this thread!
Hello, people!
I see lots of people asking for unlock keys for there HD2-7, just because their country doesn't seem to have the call center. However, I have found that, Microsoft is supporting all the big countries!
If you find this guide helpful, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button.
Here is the guide.
1. First of all, you need the contact number of Microsoft call center in your country.
Go here and grab it. http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
I have found it working for India!
2. Now, I think calls in most of the countries will be answered by the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). Most probably, you will get lost in choosing menu options.
3. Simply wait for the last option where the system says that press __ to talk to our technical support person. (In India, you have to type 06)
4. Now, the person will receive you. Tell him your Windows Live Id and all other things. (you need not fake!) And tell them your issue. He may say that you are in wrong section! Ask him to transfer his call to product activation section for WP7. (All this is to avoid getting lost in IVRS menu!)
5. Now, your call will be transfered. Tell the person that you want to activate your HTC HD7! (Make sure, its launched in your country.)
6. That's it! The person confirms your Live ID and gives you the key. (Its kinda difficult though to get 25 characters correctly through phone. Make sure you take down everything correctly!)
7. If step 3 onwards doesn't work (like technical support person doesn't know what you're talking about) tell them the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699 and tell him that this is I want.
8. Alternatively, you can navigate to Xbox live support and ask them for key. (You have to tell them that you were asked for the key when you tried to access the Xbox live from your HD7)
9. Method of Skype is good but won't work on poor connections. (and most of the connections fall in this category, as far as developing countries are concerned!)
Again, I need your feedback. Comments are most welcome (and so are thanks!) Please, buy me a cup of milk, if you wish! (I don't like beer! )People in India can use SBI net banking. (PM me for account number!)
Hope you enjoy it.
hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.
I tried these methods already
1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"
2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.
3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.
4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.
If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.
To all:
Why so difficult?
Please go to here: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
Choose the top chat. Wait a minute. Tell them you need a activation code for your WP7 phone. They ask name and phone number. After waiting another minute they give it to you.
Last question they have: Did it work? You say YES!
(I did this three times - for myself, my wife and a friend)

I think, you should not do these things alternatively. You better perform everything stepwise according to the guide posted in HD2 WP7 section. It should work.

I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

Your problem is clearly related to your Live ID belonging to an unsupported Country.
Create a new Live ID with Region set to US and you should be fine.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.
Reply with progress!
EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:
Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones
Phone: 1800 111 100 (Toll free number accessible from MTNL/BSNL land line)
Phone: +91 80 40103000
