Can I use Skype to Go when I am a visitor in a dif...

Can I give my friends and family at home a skype to go number that would make their numbers local in the UK to avoid international fees? 
I am going to be studying abroad in the UK for a month so I'm trying to figure out the most economic way to communicate. I am thinking about getting a go-phone in the UK and using it to make local calls to the US through a Skype to Go number. Could I do this?

You are correct, if you call your US Skype To Go number from abroad you will incur international call charges.
When abroad, you can either buy a local SIM card and get new Skype To Go numbers in the country where you'll be (if Skype provides Skype To Go numbers there), or use one of our Skype applications for your mobile (e.g. Skype for iPhone or Android) and call abroad using the phone's WiFi connection.

  • If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?

    If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?
    Obviously there's no voice or data roaming for Verizon 3G/4G/CDMA phones in Europe.... (or am I wrong?)
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello WCMack,
    That was a great explanation on the situation. Just to confirm, Europe uses GSM for their wireless network. There are third party apps that will allow you to make calls via wi-fi on a wi-fi enabled device. This is largely due if wi-fi is available and if it's free.
    From my experience, I was able to make wi-fi calls on my Iphone 4 in Greece without any problems last month. Since we don't own any towers in Europe, the service is hit or miss. Feel free to update us when you get back.
    Enjoy your trip!...

  • Using Skype to Go when overseas

    Can anyone else please tell me how best to use Skype to Go when overseas. I live and have my Skype account in the US, but travel to the UK frequently. When I was last in the UK, I tried to use Skype to Go, it worked fine, and the cost of the Skype calls were low, but I was hit for roaming charges by my carrier which were really high and I might just as well have dialed directly without using Skype.

  • Can I Use Skype Free Minutes From a Mobile Phone

    Can you use Skype free minutes (provided with Office365) to call FROM a mobile phone? When I check the free minutes online, I see that they are active on my Skype account, but my Android mobile app does not show any Skype credit?

    If your iPad Mini is a cellular model, you can use Skype (and buy a block of minutes). If only wireless, you can also use Skype on a wireless connection. It saved the day when I forgot my iPhone and needed to make a call. Skype sells phone numbers, but I've never gone that route.

    Mozilla has nothing to do with a Microsoft product activation key.
    That "test" page should be viewed in Internet Explorer and not with Firefox, as it may use ActiveX which isn't compatible with any Mozilla product.

    I am in the UK. Can I use the iPad Mini when on holiday in Sri Lanka?

    Sure.  Wifi is wifi the world over, so you can use any free wifi you can find at hotels, restaurants, and so forth.
    If you have a wifi+cellular iPad mini, you can use a SIM card from a local carrier if there is one there that offers iPad data plans.

  • Can i use any wireless printer when using air express

    can i use any wireless printer when using air express

    If you are looking for a new printer, any wireless model will work with the AirPort Express.
    But, since you indicate that you have an iPad, you would want to make sure that the printer you choose is AirPrint compatible. This way, you will be able to print from your iPad....if you need that function.
    See this Apple support document for info on AirPrint and compatible models.

    Right Windows can Not read Mac formatted drives.
    If you want to use that drive on both systems you will need to use some other format then Mac Extended (Journaled). Something like Fat32 or exFAT. Or since it is already partitioned just use the Windows partition on Windows.
    Of couse you can try using one of those add-on programs that allows Windows to read Mac drives.

  • Can I use Skype for my business?

    Hi,
    I have a SKype number and been using it for my business for a year already. Today I've received an email from Skype saying that I can't use Skype for commercial purpose. I'm confused because I've seen so many people saying that they use Skype for their business. Here's the message I've just received:
    "We have noticed some prohibited usage of your subscription.
    We will continue to monitor your account, your calling behavior and your overall activity using Skype. If the prohibited usage still continues, your subscription will be disconnected. You will no longer be able to use or purchase any of Skype’s paid-for products.
    The suspension of your access to Skype paid-for products will be permanent and you will be unable to transfer any existing products to a new Skype account, or receive a refund. However, you will be able to continue to make Skype-to-Skype calls and send instant messages.
    We remind you that Skype’s products are for personal, individual and non-commercial use only. Our Fair Usage Policy can be found within our term of uses. Our subscriptions cannot be shared or used for commercial gain, such as telemarketing or call centre operations"
    Do I have to register for a business account or what? Or what should I do now? This number have been using as my business contact and I can't change it. Please help.

  • Can I make Skype quit automatically when I close i...

    I'm sick of having to close it on the task bar and then confirm I don't want it running any more.
    I've already confirmed I wanted to log out and close the program, why is it still running?
    I cannot find an option to quit from the menu whilst running, but I imaging it's buried somewhere.
    Could somebldy tell me how to either 'quit' automatically when I close the program, or if there is an option to close and quit while it's open?
    Failing that could I find out why it's do ******* important that it stays running in the backlground after I close it the first time?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This screenshot (http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Can-I-make-Skype-quit-automatically-when-I-clos... is from the currently latest Skype 6.7.0.102 version, but exactly the same window is shown with any previous version too.
    If you sign out of Skype before quitting, then the “Do not ask me again” option will not be shown. You don’t need to sign out before quitting!!!!

  • Can I use Skype on my Kycero Hydro vibe android ph...

    Can I use Skype on my Kyocera Hydro Vibe Android phone?

    Hello, it depends on what version Android OS you have,
    - https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10328/what-are-the-system-requirements-for-skype
    To run the latest version of Skype for Android (Skype 5), you'll need to have Android OS version 4.0 or above. If you're running Android OS 2.3 and above, you can run Skype 4 for Android. You will also need to know what type of processor your device has. If you're not sure, check the device's user manual, or contact its manufacturer. For the following processors:
    ARMv7 processors (or processors capable of running its instruction set): Skype is fully supported.
    ARMv6 processors: Skype can run on these devices but video calling is not supported. Examples of ARMv6 processor devices: Samsung Galaxy Ace, HTC Wildfire.
