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.

Any idea?
Please i am looking for SKYPE and ICQ messenger...
I know this:
- Nimbuzz /doesn´t work for me-ICQ cannot login/
- Fring /that is worst app /
Please tell me anyone...
I've seen pretty much every messenger and if you don't like Fring or Nimbuzz doesn't work then you won't have any luck soon I guess.
hi
i have been using palringo which is great or handling different IM accounts and contacts unfortunately it does not support skype IM.
does anyone have any good recommendations for something else that supports skype IM (NOT voice or video calls etc)?
i have tried Fring which is OK but not particularly configurable re notifications etc. and eBuddy is java and fiddly to use on my htc touch hd.
anything else out there that's good?
thanks
don
Yeah, now that fring dropped Skype, is there any alternative??
I only would like to have skype IM, and facebook IM in one application...
nimbuzz is very good
Does nimbuzz exist for Windows mobile?
It does, and free
Thank you, will try! I looked over their page and I forund only HTC android devices to be supported.
Since nimbuzz quit skype, the problem exists again!! Any new suggestions?? thanks
Are there any new "easy" VOIP solutions for Android besides Skype since it is only available on VZW?
Anyone????
i used fring and it served me well while i had a hero
The ones that I've personally tried are Fring, Nimbuzz and Sipdroid.
Fring: Voip works on sip, google talk, msn and skype
Nimbuzz: Voip works on msn and skype.
Sipdroid: Sip only
A search in market with the term "sip" would give a tons of other results.
Is anyone using any that have their own dialer, can accept inbound/outbound calls over WiFi or 3G and don't require configuration of SIP? Ie., they are their own sip client.

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?
Hello, I am looking for an app that combines skype chat, facebook chat and maybe other networks in one single list. So far I've been using IM+, but it is veeery buggy and crashes all the time.
I've just installed Nimbuzz, but surpisingly it doesn't support Skype. Why is that, in the past it supported it?
Please help. Thanks.
I haven't had crash problems with IM+ at al, but it's definitely slow. Unfortunately, it was the option that suited my needs at the time, so I don't have a lot of other suggestions to make here.
With that said, Skype now supports forwarding IMs from Skype to a linked Windows Live account 9in fact, the two services are being fully combined, and the standalone Messenger client is being phased out). In a way, you could argue that WP7 already has a bit of built-in Skype integration therefore.
I think what'sapp is also a good app.......

How to link Skype account to Windows Live account?
Or should we link Windows Live account to Skype?
You can probably do it from the latest Skype client for the PC, or I know you can from the Skype app for Windows 8 / Windows RT (if you have something running Win8)
