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.

Thats exactly what i meant.
Just wonder is this possible to extract it from another phone?
Any experts wanna give a shot ?
The problem is that they only list the Hero as a supported HTC phone and that's Android!
No way to make a patch in skype to send identification as hero?

Fring is working well in my touch cruise, but I get the audio coming from the back of the phone , as when I use the handsfree feature. Do you know if is there some way to redirect the audio?

VOIP in France
I've bought a HTC Cruise to use it on VOIP with the WIFI but I try a lot of software and the result is poor.
I 've a neufbox with neuf talk ability and I prefer WM6 VOIP because it's not necessary to use another keyboard and contact list to phone.
First one I remove the SFR rom and use these rom : "Polaris_WWE_0.54_Full_bepe.rar" in english plus "WM6VoiP.CAB" and "SetupVoiP_v0.3.CAB" result phone connection , numerotation I listen but the other part listen nothing .
If I try to use fring the two part are listening but with a poor sound quality and a 30 seconds maximum duration !!!
I 've try neuf talk mobile : nothing to listen.
I want to know if somebody can used the VOIP in France ?
thanks
I prefer WM6 VoIP as well, Fring was not working at all with my provider sipgate. I could only receive calls from a landline within the first 10 minutes. After that I had to restart Fring to receive calls again. When I phoned people outside the UK Fring disconnected me after 32 seconds. The only disadvantage with WM6 VoIP is that the sound is a bit quiet but I can hear people well using the USB headset.
I got the VoIP running by installing the WM6VoiP.CAB first. Then done a soft reset and installed Sip Config Tool 2.0.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303493.

I use Skype from time to time.
It works pretty fine for me and for my interlocutor.
Of course, it's more expensive than the others VOIP providers but results are OK.
@+
I use SIPgate which works well on the TC, using the standard VOIP cabs I found on this forum.
I am using the native WM6VoiP.CAB together with SetupVoiP_v0.3.CAB on the original WWE Rom and having VOIPStunt as a SIP provider.
It seems to work, however the sound quality is rather poor compared to when I use VoipStunt from my laptop, "internet calling" is in searching stat all the time, but still I can use VOIP normally, that is probably a windows bug.
Also when the Wi-Fi is used and the phone turns off its monitor after 1 minute, I lose the connection. Any suggestions how to help it.

I could'nt get that working either.
The easiest way is to use SjPhone client. The interface is a bit dated but it works. Another option is Sling, but its sound quality is atrocious, although the interface is better.
Not familiar with "sling" could you plz pass me a link? thnxs

No, mine is a Dopod U1000. Voip should be the same on all WM6 devices.
Sorry , it is Fring, not Sling. lol, what was I thinking?

I have also got a Ameo 16G from T-Mobile Germany. You dont want to install an extra program, because WM6 support VOIP according to Microsoft. If you cannot find the function, just because the device producer has bloced it. I have installed a plugin for SIP setting, it was called destr0_VOIP_WM61___SIP_Config.cab, if you cannot find it, pm me your email address, I can send it to you.

I had tried this before but it never worked for me. I think it may work for extremely limited ISP.
Are you able to make call with it and have good voice quality at both ends?
I have tested it on WIFI, it can work on my x7510. Afer installation, there is a new program named sip config tool in your programs, there you should input SIP informations, such as SIP server user name password, next step you can find a new window at the telephone setting named internet, here you can choose when to use VOIP. But I do think, the voice quality of the VOIP can not make me satisfied.
if you install Skype for PPE, it automatically does VOIP, either WiFi or 3G
I now use AGEphone mobile, which has good skin, user interface, and voice quality.
works great

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

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.

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

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.

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.
