skype

hey hi , if someone has skype for x10 can u pls post it here.

I also have been looking for this and have come to the conclusion that it is not available yet - there are apps which allow you to log on and text chat, but not voice chat I think.

Try Fring ..............

I am a bit confused, everywhere I here about skype someone advises to try Fring, is it possible to login to Fring with your Skype id and can you contact you skype contacts?
Since I found this I guess I have my answer:
July 2010- With version 3.2.0.5 on iPhone, Fring removes Skype integration, bringing to a halt the ability to video chat on iPhone with anything other than Apple's Facetime.
July 2010-13. Skype bans the integration of its application in Fring [50]

People advicing Fring is because Fring can allow video calls between fring users.
It is not possible to login to Fring with your Skype id.
You cannot contact your skype contacts.
The only app that can let you connect skype is Nimbuzz ( I think), but it allow you to text only, not calls.

I've made calls to my skype contacts using Nimbuzz, just that the audio quality was terrible on their end. I could hear them clearly and they couldn't hear me.

VOIP calls with native Android dialer

Hello All,
Is there any way to make strictly VOIP calls with the native XDAndroid dialer? Such as with the VOIP setup utility that you can add to WinMo that lets you designate a voip server? I have an running asterisk server that I have setup to Google Voice?
I do not see any setup possibilities in the phone settings to designate "VOIP/wifi when data is not available"?
I could not even get Fring to download to my newly setup XDAndroid HTC Touch Pro (CDMA) phone. has anyone else had probs downloading Fring?
Thank You,
Barry

[review] Nimbuz, Fring, or Skype?

HI all,
I'm wondering if anyone has opinion about which is better: Skype, Fring, or Nimbuz.
Here is my take on it.
About "Voice-Out" and quality of voice communication
I cannot really comment on Voice Out (phone > internet > regular phone) because I only used Skype Out and have never used the corresponding services with Fring and Nimbuz. Skype OUt is OK on the phone
I'm not sure about the quality of voice using Google Talk, Yahoo, MSN, etc on either Nimbuz or Fring. I don't have yahoo or MSN. I'm in China and my internet connect is never very good, even on the 3G networks. If anyone else has opinion about this, it would be cool to share.
Connectivity.
Well first of all, I need to have Skype on my phone because its sort of a standard on the desktop. But Skype does not connect to Google Talk or any other network. Skype only connects with Skype. Skype on Android DOES NOT have video calling. (booh!)
Fring connects to Google Talk VOICE, and I believe it also connects to MSN and Yahoo voice, ICQ, AIM. and SIP providers. But it does not have a desktop client, which is a problem. Fring does have video calling! BUT, only to other Fring client, making this feature pretty useless for me. If there was a desktop client, or it could use video chat with Google Talk network, this would be the winner, hands-down.
Nimbuz connects to Google Talk VOICE, and I believe it also connects to MSN and Yahoo voice, and ICQ. Does not have option to connect to SIP providers. It does connect to Facebook, Myspace, which is probably more usefull to more people (but not to me). But it does not have a desktop client, which is a problem. Does not have video calling.
About usability.
I really hate one thing about the Skype app ... its not clear how to turn it off. You have to go to the my-info tab and select log-off in the status menu. Otherwize, UI of the Skype application is good.
Nimbuz interface is pretty good and has a status bar notification when its on, although that notification unfortunately does not say if connected or not. It does show google profile pics.
Fring does not show profile pics unless the pics are on the phone. The interface is less tab-driven than Nimbuz or Skype...not sure that's a good thing (probably not), although the look and feel is a little more "friendly" IMHO.

Hi,
So no one has an opinion about which has better sound quality?

I use Csipsimple for voip and Groove IP for Google voice calls.

thank you very much, Csipsimple works like magic

SIP SMS?

I have just set up an Anveo VoIP account on my HTC One. The native SIP support handles voice, although with no control over the codec choice. The problem is that the native support does not include SIP SMS, and all of the SIP apps include voice. Somne claim to "integrate" with the native SIP support but so far they all seem to have problems, like multiple call notification or issues with native vs 3rd party dialer. I can't seem to locate an app that JUST supports SIP SMS without SIP Voice. And I have not found a SIP Voice app that allows me to disable the voice part completely.
