Skype-to-Skype abroad on mobile?

I am travelling to Spain, and am wondering how to avoid high data roaming charges. If I turn off my data, connect to a wi-fi network (in hotel or cafe), will my skype app be free (skype-to-skype from my mobile windows phone to computer)?

Skype reckons I am missing the point =) Oh well. Going to uninstall from iPhone.

Calling skype to a mobile phone outside the origin...

I have a portuguese phone and I am abroad - in Andorra.
If someone calls me from skype, which rate will be applied? From Portugal to Andorra, or From Portugal to Portugal?
And what about my Mobile Phone, will I have to support roaming costs?
Thank you.

Calling skype to a mobile phone outside the original country

your partner's mobile is registered in the UK
calls forwarded from Skype to that UK number are covered (as you know)
as is, forwarded calls would still be going to the UK number, and he would pay roaming charges from his mobile carrier for the priviledge of answering these calls while abroad (iow, has nothing to do with Skype)
if he got a local SIM for his mobile phone while abroad, then Skype could be forwarded to that number for free if he added a Skype subscription that covers SkypeOut calls to the number associated with that local SIM (in your example this would be Unlimited US/Canada sub)

Traveling abroad and want to use skype on my mobil...

I will be traveling abroad to Costa Rica and Nicaragua and taking my mobile phone with me. I will be able to use my phone to connect to the internet whenever wi-fi is available. I will not be able to use my phone for regular calling. So, I want to know if I can make calls through skype using my phone as long as I am connected to the internet through wi-fi? My calls will be to regular landlines or mobiles, not to skype numbers. I will therefore add skype credit once I know that I will be able to call.
Thank you

I can understand how this might happen but I think you posted in the wrong forum...if you're planning on using free wifi sites. Skype wi-fi is to pay for service in hotspots where wifi isn't free. See this link for an explanation:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/skype-wifi/
In any case, yes, if you have wifi service, free or paid, Skype on your phone, and credits available, you can call landlines or mobiles with Skype. The rate for the calls will depend on the country you're callling. You can see the rates here:

Skype Abroad - No Wifi and No Data Roaming

I will be going on a trip to Turkey in a few weeks, and I am trying to understand if I can make calls with the Skype app on my Droid without a wifi connection and with data roaming turned off. I thought I read somewhere that Skype has it's own 3G network or some other method that I can use to make calls with the Skype app. I would be buying Skype credit in advance. Is what I am saying possible?
My goal is to be able to use Skype to make phone calls without wifi and without getting charged for data roaming by cell phone carrier. Thank you for your help.

Sure, I know about SGO.
The poster was asking how he can use Skype app abroad, without roaming charges, without any internet connection. This is not possible, unfortunately.
If we are talking about SGO usage in Turkey, this won't work either, as there are no local SGO numbers there.

Skype to go + mobile carrier

just wanted to clarify: if i have minutes included in my plan and I call a skype to go number, it will deduct from my minutes and charges for a call will be deducted from my skype credit and it will not be charged to my mobile carrier bill, correct? and if i call during my "free nights and weekends" hours, it will only deduct from skype credit? I want to make sure I will not have charges on my mobie bill, because i was confused by:
Calls to this number will cost:
0.089USD/min plus a small connection fee.
Local call charges from your operator or inclusive minutes
thanks

Hello,
Do you mean the STG # you call to set up a call to a contact or the actual contact's #?

Trying to call online number on skype set up mobil...

I already have skype set up on my three network mobile. If I try to call skype online number from other phone, is it coming to the skype that already set up on the three network mobile or my computer?

Hi,
I have the same problem. In Skype Manager the online number was deactivated 10 days ago at its year end. I added lots of credit today and allocated 100euros to the account that holds the de-activated number - but it still asks for more credit (it costs 50euros to reactivate for a year).
Question - How do I get Skype Manager to recognise that there is enough credit allocated in the account to reactivate the number?

Is Skype 1 Month Mobile and Landline Subscription ...

If I take out a Skype one month Landline and Mobile Subscription I get 60 minutes for £1.55p. This equates to 2.6ppm if all 60 minutes are used. Using fewer minutes means the cost per minute is greater.
A PAYG call on the Three network to landlines and mobiles costs 3ppm, slightly more than the Skype cost but with the convenience of being able to use my phone to make the call and of not having to find a wifi point. If I only use 40 minutes it costs £1.20 whereas 40 minutes with the Skype subscription would still be £1.55.
I may be missing something but Skype does not seem good value for money. Perhaps someone could point out the flaws in my thinking.
Thank you.

Thank you for responding.
I have to admit that cost is very important to me and, there being virtually nothing about me that is unique or even out of the ordinary, it may also be important to some others.
It would seem then that from the UK I must take your advice make my occasional calls using my mobile as the least expensive and most convenient method. Indeed, this also applies to Germany where wifi is virtually inaccessible other than at airports and hotels, unavailable for instance at McDonalds without a German telephone number.
Incidentally, Three - with whom I have no connection other than as a PAYG customer - offers mobile calling at UK rates from many European countries.
Thank you again for your kind attention.

Using skype abroad

If I haven't got wifi how much is it going to cost me to use my UK mobile to phone canada from italy

By the way, I can see why this is not a problem for Americans.
The dialpad has a drop down button that allows selecting the country code. This prepends the country code to the number and would work perfectly for NANP (North America Numbering Plan).
But the problem is for many countries that use a trunk prefix (0) for national dialing, which must he dropped when adding the country code.
The drop down in Skype doesn't omit the 0, and generates another invalid number.

Skype call to mobiles and landlines

I bought skype credit and managed to make one call to a mobile phone. The next calls I have attempted to make to mobile phones or landlines have failed.
Skype credit is full. Internet connection is strong. I am calling different numbers and I am having the same issue. I have tried calling the same numbers from another skype account on a Mac and it works.
Only Skype to Skype over the internet is working.
Please help. This is very incovenient to call clients.
Kind regards

this sounds like a restriction that is being imposed by carriers in the UAE, not Skype

Desktop Skype acting like Mobile

This problem only started today, but here's the issue.
I can call anyone in a 1 on 1 call no problem. Right when I add someone, I can no longer share my camera and I can't even call that new person. If I click on the green call button, it doesn't allow me to call them. Also, I cannot call groups myself either.
Now, if someone adds me to a group I can join and it's all fine. However, the call itself is frozen. Even if someone leaves, their avatar and name is still displayed. I also cannot send any chat messages in groups nor can I recieve any.
Why.

Hi. I had the same problem, but solved in 10 min. I just removed all support files in my OS. I have Mac OS 10.10.3.
Remove Skype folder at: ~/Library/Application Support
and ~/Library/Preferences and drag com.skype.skype.plist to the trash
after this I just reboot my Skype and Voila!
