If i can wi fi, can i skype?

i spend a lot of time traveling... about 10 of the 12 months in the year, and i'm considering buying one of these things to use, basically as a pocket laptop computer (lighter than my 17" macbook pro, right?). currently my primary contact numbers are through skype, which is great with my laptop, but can i just use the iPhone the same way?
i think my questions are:
a) will i be able to use the wi-fi software in the new iPhone to access email, contact and calendar information without having to subscribe to at&t?
b) if i can get online with my phone, can i access my skype account, check my skype voicemail, and possibly even make skype calls using the iPhone?
c) if i have to subscribe to at&t, how does internet access work as far as my minutes are concerned? will at&t charge me for my minutes spent browsing the same as they would if i were talking over their network?

You will need to subscribe to ATT in order to activate the phone. None of the features work without activation.
b) if i can get online with my phone, can i access my skype account, check my skype voicemail, and possibly even make skype calls using the iPhone?
Not at this time.
c) if i have to subscribe to at&t, how does internet access work as far as my minutes are concerned? will at&t charge me for my minutes spent browsing the same as they would if i were talking over their network?
Data is unlimited in the US as part of the $20/month. Outside the US, you would pay roaming charges if you were not in a wifi hotspot.

  • Weird Problem, new iMac, can't video chat but can on skype

    My problem is simple. I cant share or video chat with my friends on iChat, but I can with Skype. I get a connection error everytime and even being on the phone with Apple trying to solve my problem, nothing worked. I tried changing my port number, and nothing worked. I cant video chat with anyone. Me and my freind were confused because we had just got new macs and 1 day later when we tried to video chat with eachother it didnt work. I tried the appletest03u3 thing and both of us could see the commercial. I'm runnning Leopard 10.5.8 and shes running Snow Leopard 10.6.2. What's the problem?

    Hi,
    In System Preferences > Security > Firewall is the Firewall ON ?
    If ON, in the Advanced Tab is Allow Signed App selected and IS iChat in the list ?
    Also is Stealth deselected ?
    Also try setting iChat Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit to 500kbps

  • Can install "Skype for Windows" and "Skype for Bus...

    Hi! All,
    "Skype for Business" has been installed into my office PC.
    I would like to know that I can install "Skype for Windows" into this same PC or not?
    Is there any conflict in using between these two editions on same PC?
    Thanks!

    I have had both installed for months.  I have not run into any problems with them both being present.  I could see there being an issue if you plan to accept a call if you are on another call with the opposite client (since the mic/playback hardware would already be in use).

    1. Temporarily disable all the third party security programs and boot in
    Clean Boot to exclude 3rd party factor’s effect.
    2. Update your video card drivers and BIOS to the latest version.
    Hope it helps.

  • Can you let me know how I can instal Skype on my Ipad

    Hello,when I want to instal on my IPad Skype then ITunes wants from me my account number and number of credit card. Poradě can help me how I can instal Skype without ITunes? Thank you

    And is not possible to download Skype and in case I would buy something then I would send payment? You know I Have never sent info about my account before I buy something. I buy on web very often but Not Like this. I sent money before I got goods (music, movie, gifts, ...) but not to give info about my credit card even if I do not want to buy. It is not So good. But I understand probably it is more quick for buying on the webshops. Thank you again too both for your information.

    as my skype doesnt work becasue my OlePro32.dll files are corrupted?

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

    While USB3 is supposedly backwards compatible, I've now seen a couple of correspondents reporting that their USB3 drives weren't being 'seen' by their Macs, so I'd be very wary. If you can't find USB2 (and there should still be plenty aroud) go for FireWire.

  • Can you Skype Mobile to Mobile for free?

    If you have an existing skype account you have used on your PC, can you set that same account up to use your mobile or do you have to have a separate account for your mobile?  I loaded the mobile app and signed in with my existing account, if I try to video call someone in my address book (iPhone user who has the app) it tells me I must have credits...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The user must be signed in on their device with the account that you are trying to contact in order to receive the call. I think you need to be running Skype on the iPhone in order to receive the call; on Skype for Windows Phone 8 Preview, the app can receive calls while it is not running.
    You cannot call landline or cell phone contacts from Skype (on any client) without having Skype credit. In the Skype for Windows Phone app, tap the "call" button in the application bar (the one that looks like a phone), and then tap "call Skype" to make a free Skype-to-Skype call.

  • Is there any way I can use Skype Number with Viber...

    Hello. With my Skype Number is there any way I can use it with Viber? So I give my Skype NUmber to a friend and they add me on Viber? Or do I have to divert my skype numebr to my actual number?

    Hi, if you give your Skype number to your friend they can make a Viber Out call to that number if they have some viber credit. Calls to landlines are usually cheap but it depends where in the world your friend is calling from.
    Have you got a Viber account too ? Viber to Viber over the Internet is free, like Skype to Skype being free. Persoanally I have both networks now.
    Viber is on smartphones, some feature phones and there's a desktop app too. Your Viber account is based upon the mobile number you register and Viber recognises phone numbers of your contacts to see if they're registered on Viber too.

  • Does anyone know how I can get skype (video call) to work on Ipad 3rd generation

    I have tried to make a video call through Skype to a business relation (who did not have the possibility to use Facetime) on Ipad 3rd Generation. Did this using the most recent Skype app (which claims to have been updated for the Retina display). The app works all rigt, but the video doesn't. That is: I can see myself, but the other person can't. And I cannot see the other person. What have I done wrong?
    Regards, Koos Woltjes, Netherlands.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Can I Skype on iPad 1st generation?

    Hi, I know the iPad has a mic so can you do voice calls via Skype internationally and free like any other computer? Any special problems with using the iPhone Skype app on the iPad?
    cheers
    Simon

    Simon-
    The iPhone version of Skype works on both the iPad 1 and 2.  It can display the same size as on the iPhone (1X), or it can be expanded 2X to almost fill the iPad screen.  The pictures are sharper at 1X, but not bad expanded.
    On the iPad 1, you can make a video call.  You can see the other party, but they can't see you because there is no camera on the iPad 1!
