Skype for Blackberry 9900?

What about BB 9900

Hi, OB3, and welcome to the Community, Skype has not made any recent announcements about plans to release versions of the Skype app for older BlackBerry OS devices - that includes OS 5, 6, and 7. Skype Lite, upon which we were able to use Skype, was decommissioned in January 2013: https://support.skype.com/en/category/SKYPE_LITE/
Skype is now available on the newer BlackBerry devices such as the Z10, Q10, and Classic running at minimum the 10.1 OS. As the BlackBerry 9900 workhorses continue to age, I do not believe it likely that we will see any further updates either to the device, operating system, or apps.
Best regards,
Elaine

hello,
there is no client from Skype that is available for Blackberry devices. But you can install a client from another software vendor that can connect to the Skype Network. Please read :

Thank you for answering me. I have searched hi and lo. You'd think BlackBerry would have an archieve of older OS. Too much to ask for? It's such an easter egg hunt looking for anything on this site. Oh well.
RIM (btw -- "BlackBerry" is a device, RIM is the company that makes them) does not control any OS releases to end users. The carriers are 100% in control of that process. It is that way due to the support model, and that support model is contractually controlled. The carriers, by agreeing to be BB carriers, further agree to providing 100% of the formal support to their end users...as part of that, the carriers test and certify the specific OS packages that they will support for their specific customers. And, like all things, they roll off older versions as newer ones come along -- it's way too difficult to keep their staffs fully trained on too many different versions.
So, if RIM were to do what you desire, they would be violating the terms of their contracts with the carriers. Not something that is easy to accomplish at all.

Anybody have any ideas on where I can get a download of 7.1.0.074? I must have it to have 2G capabilities.
As a formally RIM-sponsored site, it's not allowed to discuss things that are outside of the contractual controls. So, while I'm sure that there is some archive site out there somewhere, links to it cannot be provided as per the Ts and Cs here. But, I'd be hopeful that your favorite Internet search engine could provide you with possible results, or at least pointers to archive sites at which the friendly site managers might be able to answer your quest.
If anyone wishes to provide PaulaJava with links, please do so via Private Message on this site, not in the public posts.
Good luck!

Software update 7.1Os for blackberry 9900

Hey, I have recently tried updating my software to the new 7.1, and when I try installing it, my screen stays frozen when it is backing up "social feeds" my mobile network connection has also turned off... It has been frozen like this for over 5 hours... Any ideas on what I do?

If you're updating via BlackBerry Desktop Software, unplug your phone, shut down the software, plug your phone back in, start up the software again and wait. Once the software tries to connect to your phone and sees that your phone doesn't have a proper OS installed, it will suggest one to you and will ask if you wish to install it.
If you're updating OTA (Over The Air), remove your battery then reinsert it. If you're not offered the opportunity to install an OS, you'll need to plug your phone in to your PC and use BlackBerry Desktop Software as I've described above.
Keep us up to date on your progress.

FREE Facebook Application & Skype for Curve 8900

Hi, I just bought a BlackBerry Curve 8900 in last week and kind of frustrated when I was not finding any free application for Facebook chatting. I tried with ebuddy and nimbuzz but both of them did not work.
Can anyone please let me know if there is any free application for Facebook chatting in this device ?
Also, is there anyway to run the Skype in Curve 8900 ?
Will appreciate your suggestion.
Thanks !
Hasan

Well I don't know any free facebooks chat app but there is paid apps which would cost you USD 1.99. If you wish to have this app the check this link.
Skype for BlackBerry is available to Verizon subscribers only. Till date this is exclusive for them only

Podcast for Blackberry - no Explore Podcasts option on Bold 9900

Hi,
Just got my new Bold 9900. Originally supplied with a Orange sim and number and has recently had my Vodafone number ported across to it..
With the orange supplied Sim and number, the Podcast for Blackberry app worked fine and I was able to use the Explore Podcast option and find a couple of podcasts that worked well.
Since my old number being ported across, i have lost the Explore Podcast option and no longer can add podcasts.
I found KB25642 which explains the exact problem, but following the workaround does fix the problem. Can anyone help? I am in UK.
Cheers
Paul

Skype for ALL blackberry EMERGENCY

When will it be available for other phones. Today having Skype is a MUST especially when emergencies like the one that just happen in Japan occur...you should have it available for everyone not just for Verizon. I believe Skype is one of the best features ever invented I bought my skype phone as soon as I was able. I was living in London at that time and they had a great plan in the telecomunications company 3. Unfortunately, in Guatemala I cannot use my Skype phone...now I have a Blackberry which is supposed to be the Business tool of today, an although very useful it does not help in these situations. Thank God!! for Whatsapp if it wouldn't have been for this tool it would have been terrible to bear this tragedy in Japan. My mom is in Japan and we were able to communicate at all times thanks with both Skype and Whatsapp; however, I was stuck with my computer at all times. She was surviving the emergency and upating us with the status only with her phone which is what should be nowadays. Of course she has an iphone. So I wonder when will this feature be available for everyone. It is not only fair but also an necessity in today's life. Please write me awith some answers on when will this feature be available for everyone. COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY FOR EVERYTHING.

I don't use Skype but Googling "Skype for BB" brought up loads of hits. See if anything is suitable by doing the same.
We're just ordinary members of the public on here. I think I would speak for all in saying that our thoughts are with you and all those affected by the events in Japan.
