Skype Mobile Global Issue

While traveling in the UK, after successfully using Skype Mobile to contact Skype parties back home in the US, I began today to encounter a message from Verizon Wireless (my carrier) when I tried to use the application that said, "Skype mobile can only be used on Verizon Wireless in the US..." This is strange since both Skype and Verizon advertise this as a free service. Anyone experiencing such a problem that they have solved, or have an explanantion for?
The only recent change to the device was downloading and using the new Twitter for BlackBerry application, which required a reboot. I have reloaded/replaced the Skype software. I may try deleting and reinstalling the software. as well.

Hi BrandonSHall,
I have make it work permanently :) tested by restarting system :), given below steps will help you to set Skype for bushiness even it's disabled by Admin or you are on Lync server 2013.
1) Open registry --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\EnableSkypeUI
change value from 0000 00 00 00 00 to 0000 00 00 00 10.
2) now go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync --> right click --> permission
--> click on add --> deny "everyone" --> apply -->
Now restart your system and check. steps are funny but this will work for everyone.
please check and revert.

Skype mobile showing as Invisible even when I'm on...

My Skype mobile version indicates me as Invisible even though I'm actually online. All my contacts are showing as offline and messages are not coming through. Any idea what the problem is?
PC version is fine this problem is only with Skype mobile.

I'm having the same issue with my PC version, but not the mobile version.
I'm only posting here because it's the closest post I could find to my problem, and Skype customer service appears to be impossible to access directly. I've found many posts of people that just get stuck in a loop, and then the Skype rep posting on that board just gives a link to the same loop. It's insanity.
If I don't find a solution in the next couple of days I'll (attempt to) cancel my account and start using a different IM service.

Skype Mobile disconnecting since 2.3.3

Skype Mobile has always been a little flakey around the edges, but in general works as long as wifi is not enabled and 3G is strong. Since my Droid X upgraded to Android 2.3.3 five days ago I have noticed that Skype Mobile keeps signing out - basically going into the same state as when there is no signal. Even though the app shows on the notification bar, when I launch it, it goes through the auto log in sequence, connecting, etc. Other times I find it "reconnecting".
My wild guess was this is to do with Android 2.3.3 battery management where it "sleeps" the phone more than the previous version, but it is happening when the phone is on charge too.
I'd be way happier to use the Android Skype app, but it doesn’t support Bluetooth so is not practical when driving
Any suggestions?

Thanks, that's a fairly accurate description, and you don't need to have any real traffic on the phone to get the effect, it'll happen just sitting there with all the bars on 3G.. I should have been more clear, Skype Mobile worked fine (as long as I didn't start a wifi connection with weak 3G) on the Droid X for months. I've spent hours driving and chatting, but after the Android 2.3.3 upgrade about 2 weeks ago it is logging out, shows me offline, etc, pop the app and it logs in again.
One of the confusing things is that it does it on charge and if I set the battery to full power too..
So, I think there's an issue with the current version of Skype Mobile and Android 2.3.3, might be worth the VZW support people taking a look at it
btw for those who think skype is all video, not so, it works pretty well for international calls, and the cool thing about the mobile version is it will work through a bluetooth headset, very handy for driving

Skype Mobile for DROID X **NOT** VoIP!

I am a little dismayed that Skype Mobile for my DROID X is NOT a Voice-over-IP enabled app but only works over VZWs CDMA 3G signal! I travel internationally and had not heard that Skype Mobile worked any other way than over WiFi technology.
If anyone at Verizon is reading this, I have two questions that beg an answer:
Why did Verizon go with a CDMA version of Skype Mobile rather that allowing it to use WiFi VoIP technology? and
Will Verizon offer me the option to actually use my DROID X internationally in markets that don't have CDMA (most don't)?
I am here in Germany on business unable to use my DROID for anything useful without some sort of CDMA 3-G connection...

Honestly, you bought a CDMA only phone that has no advertised "Global" features. Yet you are complaining that it won't work overseas?
The Droid X is a CDMA only device. And as such is not a Global device.

Problems using Skype mobile

I get an error message when I try to use my Skype mobile app. It says Skyoe mobile can only be used on Verizon Wireless in the US...to learn about using Skype mobile to make free or low cost calls from the US visit www.verizonwireless.com/skypemobile ...ok. First of all I am trying to make my call from the US...this app used to work...I am a former Alltel customer , I spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with a Verizon tech who could not help me and an hour with the Verizon outlet by my house...is anyone else having this problem? Please help!

First off, are you on a Verizon or an Alltel plan? With that what PRL is your phone using?
I wonder if you were connecting to a former Alltel tower that somehow still thinks it an Alltel tower or your phone thought it was an Alltel tower. Either way the Skype app could have not gotten the right message or code that "Yes, you are on Verizon. Please continue connecting". BTW There is no basis to this thought just past experience with issues with merged areas.
If anything , I hope this give you some ideas.

Skype mobile problems...

Skype has been acting crazy on my phone for the past two days. It was working just fine before. No problems at all. Then messages started to take forever to get out. They were pending for a long time and never got out. I uninstalled the app (which was a huge mistake) and it just made things worse. I'm in this one constant group chat (that I didn't save in favorites) and there's no way for me to talk to them. The chat won't let me type anything. I receive messages but after coming back they dissapear. I can't even call them. What is going on? It was fine before. Why is this happening? Is there any way to fix this?

Skype Mobile ~ East Asian Text Input incompatibility..

I have the Curve 8530 and I use the (Verizon supported) Japanese text input functionality.
I have been able to use the Japanese text entry successfully for various apps such as Facebook and BBM.
However, in the IM functionality in the Verizon/Skype Mobile app, entered Japanese text comes out garbled.
For example, お元気ですか。 (ogenki desu ka.) entered in the Skype app will display おおggねですか。
Another attempt, would display it as おgえんきですか。 which is very close to the hiragana of "ogenki desu ka."
The results every time are random.
This and the lack of copy-and-paste functionality in Skype IM is causing a lot of problems for me.
Any insight on this would be appreciated.
=m

Thanks for the information. I hope they put this support as an enhancement since Skype does support multi-byte characters.
Also, the copy and paste issue needs to be addressed. (We need to have copy and paste into the IM window)
tnx

Skype mobile running in back ground

How do I prevent Skype mobile from activating? I tried doing the force stop in applications and everytime I turn the phone off and then back on it it starts up again. I do not use the service, and never gave them permission to access information from my phone, but they are doing it any way.

Don't tell me I don't have my story right, try doing some research and find out what you are doing wrong.

Two Skype Mobile accounts on one mobile

Hello! I have 1 skype account with "skype mobile", and I just opened a separate account for my online number. Can I have 2 "Skype Mobile" of different accounts onto the same mobile? will this cause trouble? Thank you!

It's that simple?
yep.
you can authorize a single instance of iTunes for up to five iTunes store accounts and can sync content purchased with those to your mobile devices.
only caveat is that you will have to switch between accounts in order to update apps.

Iweb and I think mobile me issues

Greetings,
Several problems seems to plague my website in both Iweb, and on the live site.
In Iweb:
Regularly the program crashes
If I select the Albums page on the left pane it displays links of my welcome page and empty album frames.
If I go to one of the specific page (beyond the 3rd one) from the Album, I get (same as above) a page with a list of links from my welcome page and empty picture frames.
One of the pages had GPS routes upload-able from Google Earth, that page is also gone (same as above)
On the live published site:
All the albums previously publish do not appear anymore
The page with GPS route also gone
The only glimmer of hope that I have re. this problem is that when I log in to Mobile Me, idisk\Web\Sites\Site, the actual site appears to be intact including media files and all. This is why I believe that the Iweb problem is related to some kind of Mobile Me issue.
Suggestions would be appreciated, as I have spent countless hours building the website,
Thank you,

Hi. I understand that you have questions regarding Skype and I will be happy to help you further. Are you not trying it in the United States? Skype mobile only works with our 3G network so if you are attempting to use it via Wifi, it will not work.
Please let me know if you have any other questions :smileywink:
Thanks!

3. Go to tools-options- privacy settings
4. Click on clear history
5. Sign out of skype from your computer
6. On your mobile go to settings-applications manager-skype and clear data
7. Sign back on to skype on your mobile and your message history should be deleted
... hope this helps those that are struggling in deleting their skype chat history off their mobile

Skype Mobile - no audio

Hi
I have the blackberry tour (I think - the black one that looks like the curve but has a rollerball, not the World) and downloaded the Skype application.
Calls come in correctly and another Skype user has even successfully left me a voicemail which I could hear. But when I answer the call, or place the call, I can't hear any audio and she can't hear me.
When I installed the app it asked questions about "sockets." I wonder if that is where I screwed up.
When I called Verizon Wireless, even though the phone is marketed as "skype ready," they said they had never heard of skype for blackberry. They had to google how I could even download the app. I see in this forum some folks know about it so I am hopeful to get answers. This is why I bought this phone!
Thx in advance for any help.
E

The Tour is Skype mobile capable. Are you signed into skype mobile at the time you are getting a call? Here are the steps to sign in.
From the Home screen, press the Menu button then select Skype Mobile.
If not available, navigate Home screen > Downloads.
Enter the Skype name and password then select Sign in.
If the password is forgotten, refer to www.skype.com for assistance receiving a new password code.

Skype / Skype Mobile Settings Conflict

It seems that when I log into skype on my mobile, my saved settings change. I am part of a paid group and have a mobile number listed, however, when I log in through skype mobile, the group settings change such that call costs come off my credit card, and my saved # does not show up when I call people. I have to constantly reset them to the correct settings, and then it happens again...and again...
Can someone advise how to correct this?
Thanks!

I re-installed skype mobile to my android, hoping this might resolve the conflict. However it still causes my settings to change... any further suggestions??
