Yes, Skype can be used. Just down load the skpe aap from the app store and you are good to go.

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.

Yes you can, however its awkward because the phone does not have a front-facing camera.

Yes. This phone is effectively just a tiny PC with skype running on it, so skype-to-skype calls are free, ignoring the cost of broadband internet for both the PC and this phone. If you want to dial a phone number from this skyphone or call this skyphone from a normal phone, you would need to buy credits or a subscription from skype.

Yes, I have one and I have a skype number so I can receive call from landline, skype, and from landline to my skypenumber.

Only if ordered through cell phone provider (with 4G or LTE) that offer it. Of course there is always Skype and other phone call type apps using Wi-Fi with internet.

Skype is set by default to show over everything else on the screen when it rings, so yes it's possible to answer the phone, by clicking the appropriate button. If you prefer speakers when not on the phone you must then plug the phone in: hectic, but it's worth it not having to yell at the computer in order to carry on a phone conversation. The changes in Skype warned about by Patrick E. allow you to use the USB phone still, but you can't dial anything on it, you must use skype's somewhat awkward dialpad to do this after Dec. 2013 - this a rather nasty-nerdy-dictatorial move, it seems to me - One way to get around it would probably be to use an old version of Skype.exe, many of which are available on the internet, or you can just not update if you have Skype already. Save a copy of a current or older Skype.exe file somewhere and you'll probably be able to dial indefinitely. Just don't update.

No, this phone only uses the Skype program on your computer. It has nothing at all to do with any phone system, just the computer/laptop and Skype.

No skype. Needs a memory card and does not pick up wifi correctly. Its a waste of money. Big lots haves better tablets.

This is the Wifi version, you can't make calls if you mean by that phone calls. But if you mean Skype and others by 'making a call' then yes you can.

Yes, you can Skype. The quality is great. I used it to Skype back home to my family when I was in in Iraq and in England. As long as the Internet is stable and a good speed, the Skype will work, although I use other products than Skype.
