is this phone still compatible with Skype (Jan 2015)?

It's very buggy. Sometimes it works and sometimes it has trouble loading Skype only and takes forever to either login or never logs-in. (everything else on the phone works ok)

6:30 pm 18Jan15Hi! there, JamesYes, this Grandstream is compatible with a Skype account set up. The process is very similar to using a PC/Laptop. The respective skype addresses are entered into the phone either manually or configured to 'auto-connect'. BTW. I have an extra unit still in the box that was purchased as a backup. I'll let it go for a fair amount. Take care. Kind Regards, Richard

I'm pretty sure this one doesn't support Skype, but Grandstream just released the GXV3275 (this one is the GXV3175), and the GXV3275 definitely supports Skype. Here is a link to the GXV3275: Grandstream GXV3275 Multimedia IP Phone for Android VoIP and Device

Yes, it's SIP compatible. I have one that's been used with various SIP service providers over the years. If it's new then in will surely be "unlocked." The only time these things get "locked down" is when provisioned by a service provider to then adds an admin password to protect the provisioning settings.

I'll give Skype a shot later tonight with a custom ROM install. No video support as yet that I am aware of, but I'll let you know if it works otherwise. Going to try out Yahoo Messenger with the video calling as well.

We haven't use this device with Skype. I don't see why you could not use skype, but the front cam is only 0.3 MP plus it is a slower 3g phone, so it might not work very well.

Hi Shobhit, I'm using it with Skype regularly for almost one year, actually, Skype is inside Freetalk through CONNECT ME, at least my Freetalk is that way. Best Regards. Gilberto.

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.

I remember researching that and buying the phone because I was told it would be compatible. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you with certainty because I never unpackaged the phone. We installed a digital phone system in our office shortly after buying the phone which required specialized proprietary phones. I have been meaning to list it on the site for resale but have been putting it off. Let me know if you would like to make me an offer and I can sell you mine (stil unopened in its original packaging).

This phone will not work with Skype. It has no Skype application and no WiFi capabilities. It is not a cordless, but a cellular phone.

Yes. Actually I have 8.1 and it works in my Skype program without a problem

Not that I am aware of, though mine seems to have a problem with the sound card because I cannot Skype on it. I have been asked to take it to the service centre to get that fixed. Perhaps when that's done, I might find it has voice recognition, but I doubt.

Yes, However, there is no skype on Windows 7 phone, You will have to use Tango or a different app

I haven't used this phone specifically, but it should work perfectly fine with any home network. Assuming your internet speed is good enough to support skype, it should work just fine. I am from the US, but am considering this phone to use at my family's house in Italy.

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

Yes it has a front camera that you can use for Skype. Its a decent enough camera, not HD, probably VGA. You can check detailed specs for the camera at gsmarena.com. It is a good phone. I have two in the family.
