Would this phone work with my exiting Skype account?

I have never configured my Gigaset to work with Skype. It looks like there is a way to get some kind of SIP credentials from Skype but I am not sure how you tackle the incoming and outgoing call issue.. Skype has a number of phones that are SKYPE ready- http://shop.skype.com/phones/#/categoryid=2&sortby;=3&subcategoryid;=&filter;=&manufa;cture=&price;_range=~75|75~150|150~225|225~&page;=2&mac;=0Myself and two other friends own Gigasets and use Viatalk for our providers. It's very inexpensive with the 2 yr plan and the quality is amazing

Yes, but you must create a sip profile in your Skype account (it is not free). Here is te link to learn how to do it: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10572/how-do-i-manage-sip-profilesI hope, it helps you,Omar

It will not work with standard Skype. You would need the Skype Connect service to use the SIP features. I personally use it with another SIP service (CallCentric) that is inexpensive and gives me unlimited nationwide calling.

I guess you can not use it with Skype accounts.This phone is for use VOIP systems using SIP protocol or as a stand alone telephone.For international calls we use callwithus.comRegards, Marcos

As of May 2014, the answer is yes. It is compatible with Skype. I have it and I use it often. Today I have used again to talk to my familly abroad.

I didn't know, so I just shut the phone down, removed the SIM and restarted. I am answering this using the browser over WIFI. I don't have Skype on here, but I would think that all functions that only required an internet connection would still function. I didn't have to turn the wi-fi on, as the phone defaults to "offline" mode when it's started with out a SIM card.

Sure can. I use one of these in Australia, and it allows you to put in whichever SIP provider you want, and has Skype built into the phone.

Yes indeed. Not the best quality though, but it does work well withing the latest versions of Skype. Good luck.

Don't know - but you can access the User Manual on line at Samsung and that might help. This is an Android phone - but it's the Android version from late 2011 - not the most recent - I guess you should just check with the Skype people. I'm pretty sure somewhere on the Amazon site it does mention which OS version it is, that should be all you need to find out from Skype if it will be supported. I know it will set up a portable WiFi spot because that's one of the BIG reasons I bought it.

Unfortunately Skype has to be download it as an app, this phone is not capable of downloading apps since it is not a smartphone.

Yes, but you will need a digital, vs an analog, type phone plugged into it. You will then be able to make and receive both Skype and landline calls. Do it every day. Also, it will show whether it is a Skype call or a landline call. ColGilly

Yes it does. To use it for skype you will need to set up a 'hands free device' profile. It works well with skype

Fring-to-Fring should work with Video, but note that Fring lacks a PC client! The other party needs to be using Fring on a supported handset (Android, iPhone4 or Symbian/Nokia and perhaps Windows Mobile 7).Skype withdrew support for Fring and Nimbuzz (which is another option, I forget whether it has video calling!).However, Skype's S^3 client for the Nokia N8 (and C7, C6-01, E7 etc) was just released, and *should* work as well. Perhaps even with PC Skype users. I'd watch discussion forums on other Nokia and cellphone specific boards for confirmation, as I don't own this phone. Yet.

Hello Christina, you can use the PC for Skype calls. I think that this phone doesn't work with phone service.

It works with Google Voice and has an extension to integrate with it with the Premium package, but to my knowledge there is no current integration with Skype

I have downloaded Skype, however I have never used it so I do not know how well it works.

This model will work with Skype. It requires that you connect via wifi, as its a tablet, not a phone. This model does NOT have the ability to be linked to a cellular service.

Yes you can today - the only problem is that Skype claims the phones will not be functional after December 1, 2013. Not sure of what the change in functionality will involve.

Any Android smartphone with the Skype app works perfectly. Use it all the time. (Skype possibly runs on iPhone also but have not tested.)
