Skype on 5800: Do Skype calls, work over WiFi connection?
304042
I downloaded Fring to the 5800 from http://www.fring.com/default.php. I do Skype calls with video through Fring. I don't know if Skype has an application for this phone that you can download and use directly from Skype's web site. Making Skype calls through Fring works and sounds the same. With Fring you can make Skype calls, Yahoo calls, MSN calls, ICQ calls, Google talk, and others. Go to Fring's web site, download their software and try it you will not be disappointed.

It may not be compatible with Skype. And don't worry mine doesn't work either

Yes. This phone is effectively just a tiny PC with skype running on it, so skype-to-skype calls are free, ignoring the cost of broadband internet for both the PC and this phone. If you want to dial a phone number from this skyphone or call this skyphone from a normal phone, you would need to buy credits or a subscription from skype.

I use Nimbuz, which supports Skype as well as many other popular IM applications. Nice to have all my IM apps all in one program. I used to use Fring, but since it no longer works with Skype video, Nimbuz is a better multi-protocal application.And yes, Numbuz (Skype) can be used over WiFi or 3G packet data. Your choice.@geekgirl, Sorry, but no video calling using Skype. The "official" app never implemented it. Fring did support it until recently, but it no longer works. So voice only I'm afraid. :(

It supports Skype & Lync audio/video conferencing. I can't speak to anything beyond that.

Please check with your cell service provider if they offer software to support such feature. There is no software that does that that comes with the computer that I know of. You can do Skype calls from anywhere where the cell data provider has the coverage, but for cell to cell type of calls you need to check with your wireless service provider.

Yes, I have used this very setup on a Skype call. Just make sure Skype is configured to use the Shure mic and headphones for output.

I have a windows 920 and it has skype app, If you have a app for skype you can Skype, wifi is always preferred over 3g or 4g connection!

I have never tried this. My impression is that it can be used in any way that Skype can be used.

I haven't had any issues with Skype on it. The video call that I had seemed to run just fine.

You could install Skype or similar programs to make wifi calls. Galaxy Note 3 is the phone.

I have used Skype both on Windos 8 and Linux without any probelm, so it might be an issue with your sound card. Have you tried re-installing the software or Skype?

I'll give Skype a shot later tonight with a custom ROM install. No video support as yet that I am aware of, but I'll let you know if it works otherwise. Going to try out Yahoo Messenger with the video calling as well.

Yes. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS--no install. Works with both skype and hangouts (haven't tried anything else.)

I have downloaded skype and can use it. The quality depends on the speed of the connection.

I don't think so. A good reliable connection that can handle the Skype protocol throughput and latency requirements is all that is needed. Hope that helps.
