Is this skype ready? Do I have to buy something to make it skype ready? What?

Nope, you need a samsung camera. Can't use any other camera which is bs cause you can use any keyboard.

Yes it is compatible with skype, and there should be an issue using it outside the states, provided that where you are going to has wifi if needed.

Since it's an Adroid device and it has a cam, yes you can use Skype with it. You can download Skype from Google Play.You can either get a USB 3G dongle for the tablet and use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skype.raideror you can do it much easier with this:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skype.android.accessThe second way you just need a wifi connection.Cheers,Ron (a1WebShopping)

You do not receive any software to install, but to be perfectly honest, I have never been able to get it to work online with my desktop computer. . . which is fairly recently purchased and pretty up-to-date. . .I wanted to use it to Skype, but although it will show me, it didn't act compatible with Skype.

Yes! I bought this laptop for my wife and she used skype a couple of times on it and it worked great.

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.

Sorry, J.M. I have not heard of such a thing. All the Skype solutions I have read about are either just a handset you plug into your computer or are a full-blown computer replacement with handset like the VOIP841. They all have a handset. But I will suggest this.... You said you are "looking at switching to Skype". If you have not yet switched to Skype, I strongly recommend downloading Skype software for free to your computer and getting used to it that way before you get a standalone Skype device. There are a lot of strong features and icons and ways to do things that are unique to Skype, and using Skype on a computer will get you used to it. The Skype built into dedicated devices is a shorthand of the Skype icons and feature set, and it really helps to be Skype-savvy with the computer version before you go to a dedicated device. Just my opinion. For example, I have a SkypeIn number which rings in my Skype phone, and I only give out one number to everybody, instead of giving out a cell number, office number, home number. When I am at home I answer calls on my Skype phone. When I am away I answer calls on my cell phone to the same number, and all I do is change my Skype setting to "offline" in my Skype phone. Easy and great way to go. If you don't know about Skype, you don't know that you can change your setting to: Online, Skype Me, Offline, Away, Unavailable, Do Not Disturb, Invisible, and perhaps one or two others. When other people look me up in their Skype (computer or phone) they see my status set to one of these icons. Nothing like this is available with MagicJack or any other VOIP solution that I know of. So download Skype and get used to it first. ;-)

I don't think so. A good reliable connection that can handle the Skype protocol throughput and latency requirements is all that is needed. Hope that helps.

Yes an external webcam is required. I have not tried it yet, but when attempted to start Skype it asked for webcam + mic

Hi .. this mic is only a mic. In order for you to use it with a phone you need a mixer/pre-amp of some sort with a phone interface. You can use it with Skype on your computer if you use a Blue Microhones Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp - about $40 on Amazon. Then you can use it to talk to your callers and listen to them through your computer speakers. If you have a conference phone with an XLR connector this might work but I'm guessing not. Hope this helps. There is also a package on Amazon with 8 of these mics and a pre-amp that could work with a speaker phone as it has outputs that might match your phone system. Then you put a mic in front of each participant. There are push switches to talk buttons so unused mics can be turned off to eliminate background sounds. Hope this helps a bit. It is a pretty decent mic for the price. Enjoy.

Yeppers :o) I've not used it fully, but there's a mobile version of Skype and it certainly dials out properly! The downside is that some products seem to have flakey WiFi (mine does not - works great) and that may be the biggest problem. Bennett

You can down load games and software and this has been a good computer system for us. I have never end tried to skype anyone on it. It may need an add on camera to do this. I don't think it comes with one installed. Thanks, Matt

To be honest im not sure if skype would work. Based on the way its OS works and the limited access to popular apps, i would guess no. And even if u could download it, i dont think it would be practical or even functional.
