Free call apps such as Skype, Viber...

In Korea, recently, KT(Korea Telecom)try to prevent some free call apps such as Skype, Viber. This company announced a new fare policy a few days ago.
It says that if u wanna use VoIP like Skype, you have to pay more for the basic charge. U know, It so bad... Until now, we've been using that freely.
How about your country ?
Does your mobile communication company prevent that ?
Regards,

I have version 2.1.2 of the Skype app I downloaded from the US iTunes store, and it will allow me to make voice calls over the 3G network. I have used this a few times, but don't generally do that as I already have over 3000 "roll-over" minutes, average less than 30 minutes used each month, and have the lowest minute package I can get. I don't really have a need to reduce my minutes used. Also keep in mind that in the US if you don't have a "grandfathered" unlimited data plan you may cost yourself more in data usage than you would pay for minutes used.
Also, I have not followed-up too closely, but Skype was talking about needed some form of subscription for using the mobile app. I also like how they have a clause that if you are on Verizon, then your Skype calls use your voice minutes and not data usage anyway...

  • When attempting to install Apps such as skype or whatsapp, prompted to advise a parrent to sign in.

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia Lumia 520 phone. When I attempt to install apps such as skype or whatsapp, prompted to advise a parent to sign in.
    To be sure, I place my birthday as of year 2001 for convienient sake. But I began to think that it could be this reason I was prompted to ask an adult to sign in. However, after I manage to change my birthday I was still prompted to ask an adult to sign
    in so that I can install the apps.
    Please advise what is the issue? Should I reset factory settings?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Yes the problem is because of our birth date issue itself.
    One option is to link this account with any existing MS account like a family, which is done in case of actual minors using it. But it will give problems later to download Apps since you not are logged in as adult.
    Try disconnecting from MS account as stated
    here and then connect to a new account. I dint tried it but it should work.
    Or factory reset (settings->about->reset) is the option AFAIK.

  • Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

    Really Apple?
    With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
    Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
    The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
    Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
    I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
    Thank you.

    Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

  • Free calls to anyone on Skype?

    My son is in Taiwan; has Skype; uses it on landline and on Iphone.  We have had free Skype on our end and have been able to chat to him for no money up to now.  But I don't know if my calls are getting through at the other end in Taipei - the site keeps going to 'ring mobile' but when I do, no answer.  No he is not ignoring me - he sends emails so it's not that I am driving him mad.  Is there a problem if I don't pay for a subscription now that Skype belongs to somebody else?  Please email me on *edited for privacy* to tell me what to do.  I have other family abroad and need to be able to contact them as well.  Tks Sheila Smith

  • Make an app such as Skype available to other users (logins)

    I need to make Skype available to other users set up on my (first) Mac... can't find help for this in the Help sys. I am a recovering PC user and new to Mac. I want to perform login management.  I have spent over three hours trying to figure out how to get Skype visible to other users on this (home) Mac.

    TY Drexus! 
    It is installed in neither of those locations.  It is not in 'Harddrive/Applications/" or user folders.  It appears to have installed it in the ROOT on the same level (in Finder) as "Macintosh HD."  I logged into my primary Admin account and used the Skype defaults for installation.
    Sorry if this is a double-post.

  • What apps work best for free calls on my iPhone 5?

    What apps do I need to make free calls on my iPhone 5?

    What kind of free calls? Calls eventually cost, somewhere. If you are asking about using a VoIP app, there are Skype, Viber, although using Skype to call local landline numbers costs. If you use Skype to contact other Skype users, that is usually free, but you will be using some data, whether cellular or wi-fi.

  • Subscription free calls

    Hi I have subscribed to Unlimited World plan.  I had initially selected China calls to be free.  I would now like to change free calls to Singapore instead.  How do I do it ?

    If you have a skype subscription are calls free to a landline or cell phone. My son is in Germany now and I have not used skype yet to call a phone. I saw a rate price for phone calls but I thought a subscirption allowed you free calls to phones via skype. What is your refund policy if I don't like the service?
    It depends on the subscription you purchase.  Not all subscriptions cover calls to mobile (cell) phones, since the rates to call mobile phones are higher than calling landline phones in most countries.  If you were wanting to call your son in Germany, you would need to confirm what type of phone you would be calling, before purchasing the subscription.  You would need to get a subscription specific to Germany if you would be calling a mobile phone, as the Unlimited Europe and Unlimited World subscriptions don't cover calling to German mobile phones. 
    If you were not planning to make regular calls to the phones in Germany, you could just purchase Skype Credit and pay for each call made to phones.  Rates differ for most countries between landline and mobile phones, so be mindful of that. 
    Hope that helps!

  • Viber, No free call with C6-00

    Hi,
    I have recently installed Viber 2.1.512 on Nokia C6-00. However, it seems that viber on this model does not support free calls. I can only send text messages and photos ... but I was unable to make free calls.
    Is there in anyway I can use this free call feature on my C6-00? IF not, what other cellphones models (either Nokia or other brands) support viber free calls?
    Thanks a lot.

  • How can I transfer my Skype to free call, not cred...

    How can I transfer my skype to free call not cridet
    Enquiry transferred to create new topic;
    subject/title edited accordingly.

    Hi, HanaDabbas, and welcome to the Community,
    Calls between Skype users are always free of any charge; if your calls require credit (or ask for a subscription), this means you are placing calls to fixed or land lines or mobile numbers, which require credit or a subscription to pay for the call charges.
    You do not need to "change" your account; simply add those to whom you wish to call to your Skype contacts list.  They will need to create their own Skype accounts in order to do this.  More details here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10935/calling-someone-who-s-on-skype-windows-desktop   This FAQ article is customized for several other operating systems and mobile platforms.

    I have iPhone 3G 8Gb with iOs 4.2.1 how can i download  skype,viber,temple run of old version??? where do i get these apps for my iPhone

    You don't. The only place to obtain apps for any iPhone is the app store. However, most, if not all of those apps won't run/install on an iPhone 3G. iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for your phone & most developers no longer support it.
