Thread: Skype Mobile Now Available On Verizon

Here's a nice early morning surprise. It has been teased and hyped quite a bit for the past week or so since the details were officially announced. Verizon has officially launched Skype Mobile.

With Skype mobile you can:

• Make and receive unlimited Skype-to-Skype calls and instant messages to anyone on Skype
• Know when your friends are available to chat and connect in real time while you’re on the go
• Place international calls using Skype mobile and those calls will never count against your Verizon Wireless plan minutes (Skype mobile credit required)

The real catch here is that only calls to other Skype users are free and unlimited. But it still gives a great option to getting in contact with someone without using your minutes. Skype will work on the BlackBerry Storm 9530, Storm2 9550, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition and Tour 9630 smartphones.

Anyone able to sign in? I was talking with Neolantis about this app, but he wasn't able to sign in...

Login works now

Can notuse wifi

That would be like Skype and Verizon to make it not work over wifi.

I'm in now.....So for any others out there, it seemed to be just patience that I needed...I did a reboot, and then just let it sit there and do its thing.

I did notice however that the send/receive arrow at the top was going psycho the entire time. It may have just needed to get a boat load of data.

Works outstanding now!!! :147:

I knew you would post this before I got the Prem. SMS txt with the link :hail:. Works Great I am pretty excited about it.

No skype for 9000 ._."? uhhh.. 9700 too?? ._."
