ADD TO CONTACTS REQUEST: Anyone else having a problem video calling someone because Skype fails to send out "Add to contacts" request?

Jason I have been using this unit for a long time and to be honest I have skype on my Kindle fire HDX and on my computer and usually I use the computer to send out a contact request. It always works. It is possible that the signal is not strong enough for your router to complete the request. I am not sure.

I believe there are a number of web-to-phone service providers, Jim. You could try googling 'Web Phone' and get a long list of such service providers. Any of them that operate through your browser should also work through your Chrome Book. Good luck. Oh, and btw - have you tried using your chromebook to do F2F video chatting using Google Hangouts or Google talk? They're Skype work-alikes, although you may come to like them better than Skype. I did.

Yep. Tested Skype. Video works fine in both directions on this tablet. However, on previous tablet owned, had to download a previous version of Skype which solved the issue. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry. I can't help you. My husband is old fashioned and doesn't Skype. Sorry.

Yes, mine is still working after over a year. It has locked up maybe 2 or 3 times and just had to reboot (unplug power). Still shows Caller ID and our phone even states the name associated with the Skype account for the person calling or the phone number.

We purchased an asus skype videophone for our parents who live on the other side of the country. During a power blip it lost connection. We had them repower up and it came back but all of the contacts have "X's" next to the name rather than checks. How can we instruct our parents to make the necessary corrections over the telephone... keep in mind that they are 89 and 87 years old respectively.

I have not using video phone anymore. Now using iphone instead. Well I think skype is general purpose so I am not sure.But certainly if latest firmware is available, I would update the system. It may have better heat control, etc.

You are right. It's offline and does not let me sign in, but in the computer it works fine. Mabe it's a problem with Skype. I'll check again tomorrow.

sorry it took me so long to get back to you...I think it has video/camera, so I dont see why not. you'd have to download the "Skype" app. but you should be able to use it..

No it doesn't but you can still make video calls with skype using the back camera

I just checked it out and have exactly the same problem. Turned both phone and router off and on, but still doesn't work. Skype on my PC seems to be working all right. What's going on?

That seems to me more a problem with Skype then with your freefalk . Make sure you are logged in correctly, and that you either have a Skype subscription it Skype credit.

If you are able to access the adapter through your 'Networks', under one of the tabs is an option to restore factory settings. I have used this to reprogram the adaptor for a new skype number. I believe you log out or will be logged out and then will need to set up the account again. An other option is using Skype's instant messaging with a Rep. I have used this successfully several time to resolve problems.

Hi Pietro,After spending countless hours trying to get Skype to work on my gtablet I finally called Viewsonic support. They told me that the gtablet does not support Skype and they have no plans to support it in the near future.Sorry.Kelli

I agree with you; but you can FIX IT; edit your shared.xml file and add this section: <Video> <Height>720</Height> <Width>1280</Width> </Video>You will be chatting in HD in no time. Also, make sure you get the LATEST version of Skype which as of now is 4.2.1055

Note there seem to be two versions of this phone, and only the newer one seems to support Skype. Can´t get mine to work (yet) with Skype.
