While on vacation in Europe, can I use Skype to ca...

Hi,
I live in the US and am going to Europe on vaction.  I would like to know if I can use Skype to call within the countries that I will be visitin and between European coutries.   I will not be using my US mobile data plan so I understand that I need to be connected via wifi.  
I will be in France, Belgium and The Netherlands.  I will be using my Android (v4.4.2) phone or an iPad3 (v8.1) I am also assuming that all calls will be to a landline.  
Will I be able to use Skype in this manner?
Regards

Hello WCMack,
That was a great explanation on the situation. Just to confirm, Europe uses GSM for their wireless network. There are third party apps that will allow you to make calls via wi-fi on a wi-fi enabled device. This is largely due if wi-fi is available and if it's free.
From my experience, I was able to make wi-fi calls on my Iphone 4 in Greece without any problems last month. Since we don't own any towers in Europe, the service is hit or miss. Feel free to update us when you get back.
Enjoy your trip!...

  • If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?

    If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?
    Obviously there's no voice or data roaming for Verizon 3G/4G/CDMA phones in Europe.... (or am I wrong?)
    Thanks in advance!

    To use my cellphone with the Skype app while vacationing in Italy to call my home landline in the USA, do I need to purchase credit??

  • I want to buy an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free). While I travelling to India, can I use the iphone with a local-SIM in INDIA.

    I want to buy an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free).
    While I travelling to India, can I use the iphone with a local-SIM in INDIA.

    I am looking into buying an iphone 5s (GSM, SIM-Free) from apple store in US.
    While in India, I am looking to use it with a local-SIM (Local carrier) in INDIA (Eg: Airtel, Vodaphone etc). Will it work ?
    While browsing iphone products in the Apple store, I did not find any iphone referring to "Unlocked" but ended up with SIM-free as the only option (http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s/64gb-gold-unlocked?aid=www-k2-ipho ne%205s%20-%20index-n@p&cp=k2-iphone%205…).
    I also found the following information from the apple store - When you travel internationally, you can use a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5s from a local GSM carrier. The unlocked iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM).
    If Apple is the only source of unlocked iphones, could someone provide the link to the store.

  • Can I use Skype for my business?

    Hi,
    I have a SKype number and been using it for my business for a year already. Today I've received an email from Skype saying that I can't use Skype for commercial purpose. I'm confused because I've seen so many people saying that they use Skype for their business. Here's the message I've just received:
    "We have noticed some prohibited usage of your subscription.
    We will continue to monitor your account, your calling behavior and your overall activity using Skype. If the prohibited usage still continues, your subscription will be disconnected. You will no longer be able to use or purchase any of Skype’s paid-for products.
    The suspension of your access to Skype paid-for products will be permanent and you will be unable to transfer any existing products to a new Skype account, or receive a refund. However, you will be able to continue to make Skype-to-Skype calls and send instant messages.
    We remind you that Skype’s products are for personal, individual and non-commercial use only. Our Fair Usage Policy can be found within our term of uses. Our subscriptions cannot be shared or used for commercial gain, such as telemarketing or call centre operations"
    Do I have to register for a business account or what? Or what should I do now? This number have been using as my business contact and I can't change it. Please help.

    Can I use Skype on my Kyocera Hydro Vibe Android phone?

    Hello, it depends on what version Android OS you have,
    - https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10328/what-are-the-system-requirements-for-skype
    To run the latest version of Skype for Android (Skype 5), you'll need to have Android OS version 4.0 or above. If you're running Android OS 2.3 and above, you can run Skype 4 for Android. You will also need to know what type of processor your device has. If you're not sure, check the device's user manual, or contact its manufacturer. For the following processors:
    ARMv7 processors (or processors capable of running its instruction set): Skype is fully supported.
    ARMv6 processors: Skype can run on these devices but video calling is not supported. Examples of ARMv6 processor devices: Samsung Galaxy Ace, HTC Wildfire.

  • Can I Use Skype Free Minutes From a Mobile Phone

    Can you use Skype free minutes (provided with Office365) to call FROM a mobile phone? When I check the free minutes online, I see that they are active on my Skype account, but my Android mobile app does not show any Skype credit?

    If your iPad Mini is a cellular model, you can use Skype (and buy a block of minutes). If only wireless, you can also use Skype on a wireless connection. It saved the day when I forgot my iPhone and needed to make a call. Skype sells phone numbers, but I've never gone that route.

    No it wouldn't be possible.
    I mean the network makes you communicate with others connect to one internal network. Though you can connect over cellular network.
    Cellular network is still a network.

  • Traveling to Europe  can I use my I Pad for e mail????

    Yes, of course. You can use your iPad for email anywhere you can get connected to the Internet, and the Internet is in plentiful supply in Europe.

  • Im going in europe , can i use my canadian ipad with an adaptor for the 220

    i'm going to Spain tonight
    i bought an adaptor to the 220
    can i use my ipad on it
    my ipad is on 110 volts

    Electrically there is no problem at all.  If you can read the printing on the charger (good luck!), you'll see that it works with 100-240V, 50/60Hz.  However, you will probably need a mechanical adapter so that the prongs fit into the receptacle.Apple has a travel kit that's ideal but there may also be less expensive solutions.
