Using Skype with iPhone 3Gs

I have been reading a lot of conflicting statements as it relates to the ability to make calls at WiFi hotspots using Skype on a 3Gs phone...anybody have any recent experience with this - positive or negative?

Afraid not. You can configure Skype or Truphone to stay connected when the phone locks, but they have to be running all the time to receive calls.
Truphone can now tell you when you receive voicemail even if the app isn't running, so you can call back.

Future versions of both apps could use push notification of incoming calls when the apps aren't running.

  • Using nike+ with iphone 3gs

    I really want to start running with nike+ I have an iphone 3gs and i would like to know what exactly i have to buy to get started?

    1) you need to buy the the thing that fits in the nike show and of course a Nike shoe that supports the sensor - i thinks its $19 US - I know you can buy it from the US Apple store - dont know about Norway - if there is an Apple store you can probably get it there or maybe some other electronics store or buy it online from Mike - the Nike+ software is included in the 3GS so you dont need to get that
    Under Settings on the 3GS click on Nike+Ipod and then set it to on (there are some other things you can set) - but setting it to on will cause the Nike+ app to appear on your iPhone - if you set it to off the app disappears
    once you have the sensor in your shoe the first time you use the Nike+ app it will pair the sensor with your 3GS - from then on clicking on the Nike+ app will give you choice of workouts you can chose from - when you sync your phone to iTunes (at least in the US) part of the sync process will ask if you want to upload your data to nikeplus.com - the Nike+ app on the phone also keeps a history of workouts - it looks like it keeps the last 5
    you can also chose Calibration in the app and then walk around in your Nike shoe for a bit to calibrate the sensor

  • Using Skype with iPhone

    I have recently been corresponding with website developers (India, China, etc) from within chat. Many have a skype account but don't always give a number. The closest thing for Skype that I have found for the iPhone is something called Fring which has a Skype add-on. I have added $10 of funding to the Skype account and chosen pay-as-you-go. Am I going down the right path with Fring? What is the best way to do this kind of calling from the new iPhone? How can I call a Skyper without a number using the iPhone?

    The 10 dollars you added to skype allows you to use your skype account to call land lines (and cell phones in some countries).
    You don't need to fund skype at all for Skype to Skype (computer to computer) calls.
    You don't need Skype at all for Fring to Fring calls, but far more people are familiar with Skype than Fring. You do need to be on WiFi.
    So if your associates in other countries will give you their skype name you can add them to your buddy list on Skype (this is easier on the computer), and use these contacts on fring.
    Note that Fring needs your skype account ID and Password. This is stored somewhere (its not clear if its only kept on your phone). It is used to patch between Fring and Skype.
    I'm not sure that Fring has the infrastructure to handle tons of calls. The call quality is not always that great on Fring+Skype.
    The best thing would be a native Skype App for the iPhone, but I doubt the carriers would appreciate this and they might lobby Apple not to allow it. Better yet would be a native Skype client that could use 3G. But I suspect the carriers would be even more unhappy about this.

  • How do i set up my pre owned iphone 4 with my giffgaff sim card that was used in my iphone 3gs

    how do i set up my pre owned iphone 4 with my giffgaff sim card that i have been using in my iphone 3gs
    My 3Gs is on its last legs.... I've just bought a second hand iphone 4 which is unlocked......I put my giffgaff sim card in the new phone and it says activation required ......then it asks me for a passcode???  PLEASE HELP!!!! I have no idea what to do xx

    You need to connect the phone to iTunes and then try activating it from there and restoring it as new.
    If you have further problems and especially as the iPhone you have bought is second hand, it could be that it is not unlocked.  Are you sure that it is?  If not, then you'll need to speak to the person that you purchased it from.

  • I have very strange problem with Iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Please help!

    I have very strange problem with iphone 3gs. Whenever it gets little hot or exposed to 30 degree or above temperature it losses signals (No service). Whenever it is cooled down the service is back. Whenever I am using Skype or playing game for a while it losses carrier signals and wifi. When it is cooled down afer shutting down the carrier signals and wifi are back. It is for sure problem is with heating, but 30 degree tempeature in Oman is normal and some time it goes upto 50 degrees. I have noticed this has started after I started using substandard charger as I lost my original charger of the phone. Please help!! Thanx.

    The specifications define an operating range up to 35 degrees.

  • Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

    There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
    I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
    I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
    I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

    I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
    I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
    I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

  • I want to use my old iPhone 3GS as an Ipod. Nothing is working?

    I'm tired of wasting battery on my iPhone 4 to listen to music, so I wanted to use my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod. I read you had to have a sim card inserted in the phone, regardless if it's activated. So I put the old one inside, but when I connect it to my computer, it won't charge, or sync with iTunes. It's definitely not my charger because both of my phones charge in a wall outlet, and my iPhone 4 charges through the computer. Just not the iPhone 3GS.... I'm going on vacations with long car rides and would like to use this. Help please!

  • Use Skype with MB Air?

    Wife's employer seems to want her to use Skype with he MB Air, and was kind enough to send a headset/mic. Employer is a little Mac-clueless, so apparently they didn't realize the Air doesn't have the two jacks that the average Windows box has.
    So - how do you all use Skype? with just the internal mic and speaker? Some plug-in heaset/mic that I'm not familiar with?
    Any hints appreciated!

    Hello,
    all the cheapie headsets that come with iPod Touch, iPhone, or sold separately as accessories possess a mic and are actually using the same jack for input and output.

  • Syncing videos taken with iPhone 3GS to iPhoto and back to iPhone again!

    Sorry,
    I know this has been asked and answered many times over on this forum I still don't understand why these won't sync back?
    Videos taken with iPhone 3GS. They will play on iPhone. Now synced back to iMac. Videos will play on iPhoto. They will not sync back to iPhone. Yes, the option under the iPhone in iTunes (Photos>Sync Photos From [iPhoto]>All photos and albums>Include Videos is checked.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks,
    I will give that a try. But why in the world did they put that option in the iPhone Sync menu in iTunes under the Photos tab if it does nothing at all??
