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.

I had the same problem today... I found out my problem was my new keyboard (Swiftkey) automatically added an additional space after my name. Following this correction, I placed a call over 3G without issue. Maybe that could be your issue too.
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.
Has anyone experienced this problem?

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.

check the data limits on the current sims.. It's 90 days free for a total of 150mb so not too great.

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.

Unfortunately not. As the official post says, this works for 3UK customers only.
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.

Does anyone know if its possible to use the skype for verizon on our Evo? If we could get this working it would be awesome. Wonder if its just a straight.apk. We could port over.
Why not just use Nimbuzz for Skype
Nimbuzz is the only Skype app that works for me now that fring lost support.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This has been discussed before, OP. If you try to run the Skype app from a Verizon phone, as soon as you launch it, it'll say that the app only runs on devices on the Verizon network, and then close.
IM+ by Shape Services also works with Skype. Though, only Nimbuzz will allow you to place and receive Skype calls.
Nope for skype app from verizon but there is a lite version floating around here....
According to Engadget, an update was just released that supports WiFi, so we have to assume that until someone gets a chance to test it on a non Verizon phone, it might work now.
FWIW, I also have an EVO, so I too would like to see Skype on Android, not tied to a specific carrier, though I haven't tried Nimbuzz yet. I just want Skype to hurry up with the development of their app, and support video too, or at least unblock Fring, but who knows if that'll ever happen...
Update: apparently it still doesn't work for EVO. The APK is linked to from one of the comments here:

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.

aaahhh!!
Not working on SGS! ! !
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?

thanks in advance
Anyone have an alternative download for Skype? Blocked in China so can't get it from the Marketplace or from Skype.com
Just replaced iPhone3 with DesireHD and lost Skype functionality - among other things. Still LOVE the DHD though

Hi guys,
I just bought a new HTC inspire with froyo 2.2 from ATT in the US unlocked. Now I sent this phone to my bro in Peru, where he had a HTC aria without any problems.
Phone works great but we can not install skype. We can not even find it in the android market. I tried to download it from skype.com/m but I cant. It says (this item is not available in your carrier). However as I told you he has an HTC aria with the same phone carrier and uses skype there without a problem.
How can I fix this ????
Thanks

Have you tried turning off data and accessing the market through wifi only?
If the phone is rooted use market enabler not sure if works with unrooted ones, also try 4shared app from 4shared.com to find Skype apk, can have issues tho until u download the right apk for ur device
Problem fixed!
I had Skype up and running on my Android, but my phone's hardware died and went to Hades. I received a replacement phone; when I tried to re-load Skype, I found it didn't even show up on the Android Market! I tried other application download engines, as well as the download link from Skype.Com, all with the same result.
After hours of agonizing with Skype and Sprint tech support, and getting nowhere, I spent about 7 hours reviewing, over and over, my Android's settings. I finally resolved it thus:
1. Open the Android Market
2. Choose "Settings."
3. Change the "Content Filtering" maturity rating to "Medium."
And that's it! I don't understand why Skype requires a slightly immoral maturity rating, since the app is positively "G" rated, and I've already complained to them about that.
Good luck!
