Skype for iPad??

Has anyone even bothered trying to download or use the new version of Skype for the iPad? Might be just me but I am unable to download it from the app store.
I'm still trying to figure out how it would work on the iPad. Like the calling feature. Does the iPad support a headset with a mic? They say it's compatable with the iPad and that you can make calls with the iPod so I thought it would be cool...if it works that is.
Thanks

iScared,
I'm not certain if you are questioning the newest Skype version, or if you question Skype for the iPad in general. Anyway, here's my input:
* I have made at least four calls with Skype from my iPad, before I updated the latest Skype version.
* One person I called about 50 miles away said the audio was great. I actually knew that already, because my first call was a test to my home voice recorder.
* Yes, last week I downloaded the latest Skype version, but have not made a call yet.
* With each call, I used the Apple earphone which came with the iPhone.
* The iPad has a built-in mic, and Skype has a speaker option, so the earphone is unnecessary. I prefer it though.
* I would use Skype more often; however, my iPhone has lots of unused (paid) minutes. With Skype, I would need to pay for my use, albeit it's a nominal amount.
* My longest call was about one hour. No issues.
Yes, Skype or VoIP, via the iPad is very cool. It is great knowing that I can place calls with my iPad if I choose to do so. Oh, there's one annoyance. If your existing U.S. contact numbers do not begin with a 1, the call will not be completed. You must dial as 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx in the U.S. Either update your contacts list before you download Skype, edit afterwards, or manually dial. Hope this helps.

TS1702 Every time I install Skype for iPad it rejects my username and password why

Skype for iPad rejects my current user name that I use for Mac and iPhone and password. Why do I have to create a whole new account for Skype. Is it possible to use all three devices
with the same username and password?

Yes, I have desktop, laptop and iPad all working satisfactorily with the same Skype account!
It should make no difference but have you tried signing out on one of the other devices before trying the iPad?

Can't download Skype for iPad

I have had Skype on my iPad for ages. Recently the latest update refused to download.
The error message - "There was a problem downloading 'Skype' for iPad. An unknown error (499)".
Suggestion was to check internet connection, which was fine.
I had the same prob on my iPhone (5), but eventually got it installed again by deleting it in iTunes/Apps, and re-installing. This didn't work for the iPad
iPad3; OS is up to date; I do not have Restrictions set on my iPad.

Skype for iPad/Editing Contacts

Am I missing something obvious here?
If I select a contact from my list, How do I edit the contact if they change their phone number.
When I select it, the contact flips over showing me their name & number and a button allowing me to either call/SMS but I don't see an edit button.

Hi,
Unfortunately you cannot add a phone number to a contact yourself in Skype for iPad. The phone numbers shown are taken from that user's profile and only that user can edit the profile.
I will forward this feedback to the product team for consideration, thanks.

Skype for iPad contacts

I have a Skype account and a subscription with landline access. I've brought up the list of contacts and looked at my "iPAD contacts" list. All contacts are correctly displayed. However, many of my contacts have multiple telephone numbers and only the first one in the list is available. Is there a setting I can change to display more, or is this a limitation of Skype for iPad? Seems like a pretty lame limitation if that's the case.

Just got an email back from Skype...It IS in fact a limitation of the application. They are looking at this for the next update...

TS3274 Skype for iPad sign in doesn't work

When I try to sign to Skype for iPad it won't let me

Cleared everything, several time over several days, no change.
Still have not diagnosed the problem and I have made a lot of changes, including re-loading M.FireFox 4.0.1 with ATT Yahoo vers. 1.8
It sometimes appears that the sign-in times out, although I tried signing in for 2 weeks and also 1 day. ATT Yahoo has a sign-in seal one can setup and use. It is fine and works only that one day or until one signs out, than it is history.

'skype for ipad' app

Hi, I am trying to get the free 'skype for ipad' app only when I click to install, it asks for payment! Can anyone explain please?

Even though the app is free, Apple requires some form of payment, such as a credit card to be registered with them. This doesn't mean the card will be charged for a free App. It is possible that you may see a temporary charge for a small amount, about 1 US dollar. This would be a "pending" charge that Apple might use to check the validity of your card. The bottom line is that you will not be charged for the free App.

I can't download Skype for iPad

Whenever I try to download Skype for I iPad this message appears:
"You have already purchased this app. It will start downloading without any further payment." (Translation to English)
I downloaded Skype before for my iPhone. Now there is this little iCloud symbol next to the app. I press it, the message above appears but it doesn't download. I restarted my iPad But it didn't help.
Please inform me about any further solutions.

Where can I download an older version of Skype for iPad

I have just restored my ipad to factory settings. I have downloaded Skype, but it is the most recent version and I don't like it.
would like to download version 5.3.59.1093, which is what I have on my imac.
But when I went to a website and tried to download it, it said that it was not able to download it with Safari.
Please can anyone help?

If you have the older version from the app store and it's in your computer's iTunes library (if it's not then you should be able to add it via File > Add To Library), then you will need to delete the current version from your iPad and then connect the iPad to your computer and sync that older to it (syncing apps). You will need to remember not to 'update all' via the Updates tab in the App Store app, otherwise it will get over written with the current store version.

Using Skype for video call on iPad2

I installed Skype for iPad and when I try to place a video call, the video button is present but not active. I have gone through the audio test call several times and that works fine. How do I activate the video function?

Barry-
Looking at preferences and settings, I can not find any way to change access to the video button. I see it is not active when you place a call to the audio test server, but that is to be expected.
I had a problem with the Macintosh iChat video program, where video was not available when my internet access was too slow to support video. I do not know if that applies to Skype or not. If you can have someone call you using their video button to make the call, your Skype video may activate and work correctly in the future.

Using skype on iPad with a non apple product

I WANT to download the Skype for iPad but have read there is an issue using an iPad Air with Skype and the calls are dropped. This will not be with another apple user so I want to try skype since she is able to use it from her android. Should this be possible? Appreciate any answers. I would try doing this from my iPad not using my cell phone but if that would work I would be interested to know if others have used either one or both. Thank you so much!

Look at this link about setting up Skype on the iPad.
