Heres the apk for 3uk's Skype app
This is ment to be free to use (i.e. free voice call to other skype users) FOR 3UK Users ONLY!!!
so far it only supports Voice and Texts, NO Video calls yet
for Video calls use the Normal Skype (NOT free to use on 3UK) app on market
it the offical skype app from 3UK
seems to run on most android devices
runs Perfectly on my HTC Dream (t-mobile g1) and Samsung Galaxy s
to log in make sure your usein 3UK's APN (apn.three.co.uk) and not Wi-Fi
i expect if you edit the xml file for it you could get it working for other 3 areas
but i havnt the time or know how to get it done soz
the akp is just in a normal zip file so unzip and ur away

"Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live" is the one 3UK pimp's at the moment
but the "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" has more options and stuff
i supose there will have been a combatability issue or something silly like that with the 1.5.0.13 so they went back to 0.10.16
personaly i use 1.5.0.13 on both my dream and my galaxy np
dream usein super D [cant remember what version off hand]
galaxy useing 2.3.4 stock + cf root
Answer: i 'THiNK' "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" is latest
BUT: 3UK are Useing "Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live"

Any remote chance of this working on 3 Australia?
...
This is just an FYI of what I've come across. I have the HTC Magic configured on the ATT US hsdpa network. I ran a port scan and found out AT&T is still not complying with what i thought was settled. AT&T blocks port 5060 which is the port that the SIP protocol functions. So, when you try to use skype, just like on the iphone, it will only work over wifi only and not over the network...but not because of the skype program for android, but because of att blocking the port....
if anyone has any information or comments please reply....I'd like to know more as well
2 free sims as well.
I saw a promotion last week for 2 free 3 sims (Say that when you are drunk) as well so I'm just waiting for the outcome of this. No top-up charge This means Really cheap Voip to International numbers over Wifi for me. I'll let you know how it goes.

i think there will be a large chance once we find where is the xml that contains the server address and edit it like what we've done to the iskoot client registry

in the local store they are giving away free sims, just walk in and pick one up, no questions asked.
Thank you very much for providing the apk file.
I have difficulty to download it neither from Market nor Three.co.uk.
It works well on my newly purchased HTC Tattoo with 3 PAYG.
Cheers.

and also for 3 australia please...the number is +61430005340
check the data limits on the current sims.. It's 90 days free for a total of 150mb so not too great.
I got two free sims with the last deal, I get 30 days unlimited data for 30 days for £5 don't need to topup voice as well.
3 Ireland
How can I locate the phone number in Ireland?
is there a version of this for non-3 networks? i would really appreciate a decent skype client for android (please don't point me to fring, it's still VERY, VERY beta and needs a lot more features)
Thanks for this awesome find,
I just spent ages creating an apk which automatically stuck in the settings for the 3 network, then upon searching the forum again i found your little gem of a post =/. think i should have searched harder!!
Creating an APK with different country settings isnt that difficult, you need to find the auto-signer tool, and modify the startup properties in /res/raw. although upon further investigation this ver of iskoot doesnt have those files so the settings must be stored elsewhere. so you would definately need the plain (non three) version of the iskoot apk.
autosigner and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007
ive linked back to your 1st post (hope you dont mind) to point people in this direction.
I'm on 3 Ireland, using an unlocked htc hero. If I install this, will I get skype working with my 3 ireland sim???
nope, it doesn't work.
Thanks for this, I don't suppose anyone has their msn app if they do one for the hero that gives you free msn on 3uk

from the HTC Hero but it works on my Dream/G1 on 3UK after a quick rom change
its ment to be free to use ON 3UK ONLY!!!
it would not work with my HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) on CyanogenMod CM v4.2.14.1 (not for me anyway)
for me it kept saying turn WiFi off to use this app
so i changed over to SuperD 1.9.3 with radio 2.22.19.26I
and it seems works fine and it sign's in most times (not every time tho)
would be handy for people to post what roms it works on too
cos ive heard it wont run for everyone
This is for and works on 3UK
i dont know if it will work on anyother network cos ive not tried it
also im sure if you can get the propertys up you can no dout mod it
i dont know how to so i cant realy help sorry
its in a basic .zip so just extract the apk and install and enjoy ect

Would be great if someone could get this running on other networks.
you should be able to get it to work with all 3 networks if you can get the propertys and modify em
its should just be a matter of puttin the url from ur 3 network in
for NONE 3 networks tho i dont know
all i know for sure is that app as it is unmod'd will only properly work on 3UK
if anyone can show me how to get to the property xml for it
then i mite be able to get the right settings ect
same goes for the 3UK Skype app
but im a noob when it comes to stuff like that
get the same result each time, first message 'we have encountered some technical problems. We apologize for the inconvenience.' then when trying to sign in 'To connect to Messenger please turn off the Wi-Fi function on your mobile' on 3g T-Mobile network, looked like a good app aswell :/ hope theres a fix or something soon
app_param.txt has all the settings that need to be changed as far as I know but I'm not sure what to change.
I hope someone can get this to work for T-mobile and other networks.
Thanks
IF you're on another network just use meebo or something, if youre on 3 then use this as it's not counted in your data
Im in the uk on 3 but it says i need to connect to 3-uk lol
I dont hav an option for 3-uk , only 3
I tried it and it did cost me data, on official 1.6 firmware not rooted yet.
correction something else was using my data, but this rarely signs in properly often i get turn off wifi or an error saying sorry there are tech issues, and when it does work its very slow and laggy.... hope there are more updates for it.

Hi, I have been trying to get my TG01 to use the free Skype on 3UK. what I have done so far is install iskoot, changed the registry values as people say to do on forums winmo phones but I keep getting unable to connect when attempting to login to Skype. I have notices baseurl keeps changing.
I have also changed the APN to 3services, I can go onto free internet services on 3UK like ebay and planet3?
I want to get the free Skype and Windows Live Messenger to work on this, I have not tried getting Windows live messenger to work yet, been too stuck on the iskoot skype thing, it's driving me nuts.
Has anyone managed to get these free services from 3UK to work on their TG01?
Also I have found that 3UK is now selling the HTC Hero with these free services and I think you can download both Skype and Windows live messenger if you have the HTC Hero, has anyone got the installation files to share or tried installing this on another winmo phone? does anyone know what the HTC Hero user-agent is in Netfront?
Edit: just noticed the HTC Hero is on android and not Windows Mobile, but still other winmo users have managed to get their 3UK skype working through iskoot. Anyone having this same problem or know of any possible solutions? (keep getting the unable to connect message)
Any help much appreciated

3 uk has free skype service which routes calls through a 3's special GSM number instead of internet/3g/wifi. normal skype client routes calls using skype servers but this will cost you data charges but 3's skype routing is free as long as you are on skype. Now, iskoot makes special clients to route skype calls through 3's GSM number.
Yep I think coolkat is right.
So far I have managed to get free ebay, limited Google also a few bits a bobs 3UK gives for free like weather news clips without topup.
I really want to be able to use the free skype to skype text and calls even though I have never used skype before, I have created accounts with them just for this purpose.
I don't see why it is not allowing me, I have followed the step by step instructions people have posted on other threads but repeatedly getting unable to connect. Thinking of trying the 16th March Windows Mobile 6.5 update sometime soon to see if it will help.

Hi.
Lookin for Skype app working with 3UK 3G network.
As many of u knows 3UK users have free Skype.
Standard app cant connect thru 3G
Found an Skype app for 3UK but only for android.
Anyone knows about WM version ???
Help much appreciated.
errr??? I have a skype 3.0 gold cab which I searched for on the forums and it works fine via 3G on my HD2 with O2???
It took about five mins to connect the first time, but subsequently connects within 10seconds over 3G (wifi disabled).
TBH no network wants skype 3G traffic - only way to get it over 3G is either sanctioned as 3UK do, or via jailbroken iphones. That's one reason why skype pulled WM6.5 support - because they could not guarantee to lock it down to wifi as they can on iphone.
Plz read the thread carefully, i stated 3UK not O2.
Thats the difference. Big one.
Any one else?
Edit: And im lookin for any version, not newest. Any.
I am in UK and on 3 network.
Skype V3 for WM works fine and connects perfectly over 3G. You don't need a specific 3 version...

My skype v3 after 60 sec or so, showing me a cant connect error.
Any ideas?
my point was to leave it for a long time - it appeared not to connect but eventually did regardless of network and versions.
The OP is referring to the specific skype through the 3 network app that is found on 3 issue phones.
There is nothing that allows this as 3 don't support the HD2 and so there is no model specific app.
Winmo skype does not have the facility to dial a "local" based number which is how the 3 network accesses the skype service for free through its own dedicated servers.
It may be possible to extract a 3 version app from another winmo model that 3 do support, but, then would it install on the HD2?
BTW Skype connects through any 3G network or WiFi by default.

Skype is not available in the Android Market in China or Japan.
Skype has been tested on HTC and Motorola devices with Android OS 2.1 and above. It may work on other Android phones, but we can’t guarantee full functionality or compatibility. We’re aware of some problems with the Samsung Galaxy S, and we’re looking to address these in the future.
It’s free to use Skype in a WiFi zone. If you use Skype with a mobile data connection, operator charges may apply, so we recommend an unlimited data plan.
In the US, Skype for Android phones works over WiFi only.
A fair use policy applies to unlimited subscriptions.

So no 3G calls in the US, is this done via different APKs or are they detecting the IP login?
Anyone have a non-us apk they want to share to see if it works here?

i have downloaded skype and it works on my Advent vega tablet but how do i set up the built-in camera to work during calls if possible??
I have the apk which used to work before over 3G, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Does anyone have a new version of it, or know why the old hacked skype.apk doesn't work anymore? Now it just keeps telling me that my sign in name doesn't exist
I also installed the hacked APK that you're referring to. I just checked it on my and it's still working like usual. Perhaps you set it to auto-update in the Market and it got overwritten by an unhacked install? That's what happened to me, and I had to uninstall and reinstall with the hacked APK.
I could have sworn that there was a thread somewhere in these N1 forums which was all about the hacked Skype 3G APK. If you've already run a search, please ignore. If not though, I'd suggest you take a crack at the search function whenever you're in doubt.
Anyhow, I believe this is the thread where I first downloaded the working Skype 3G APK: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/78843-apks-unlocked-apps.html
At the very least, it's definitely the same dude-- I remember that username.
Good luck, and happy VOIPing
I'm confused. How come Skype won't work over 3G for you? It works perfectly fine for me, downloaded straight from the market. I've had hours of conversations on it.
Skype has a contract with Verizon in the States to only do 3G Skype with them. It's restricted to Wifi only on all other carriers.
Oh that must really suck. And here I thought the carriers in Canada sucked. At least I get Skype over 3G here. Canada only mostly sucks now.

Hello,
I have installed the Hacked 3g version on my verizon galaxy tab and no matter what I do, my wife and I can not talk to each other, the connection seems laggy and our voices cut in and out. MY wife uses a mytouch on tmobile till we get the money to get her a verizon upgrade.
