Skype??? Does this phone support skype? any recommendations for a quad band, skype accessable phone that can be unlocked.

When you said yes. You mean you can call through Skype using this phone just like the way PC/laptop works?

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.

Hi Mila, I have not used a regular cordless phone in about 2 years now, so I don't know for sure. All I use is my cell phone (Samsung Android) which has a Skype app that works just fine. Having said that, my suggestion is to assume this phone still does not work with Skype unless the product description says otherwise. I know it's not much of an answer but that's the best I've got right now :-).

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. ;-)

Yes, I do not use the landline feature, just Skype. It works perfectly fine for me.

J.D. thank you for the guidance. I went ahead and got the Philips phone....it works great and Philips customer support helped quickly with one set up issue (you can call them, they answer right away, not like the email-and-wait system Skype has!). Still some quirks with the Skype system but hopefully once they answer my emails (24 hours and counting) it will get sorted ourt. JR

Check my previous posts... it is unlocked, but that's not the problem with the cellular service provider and ask them the voice and data frequencies Voice will work in all probability bcos it's a quad band phone, but data is the issue..if you don't have the right band width you will only get 2g also called" edge" network which is very slow

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.

Not that I am aware of. I believe other GS models purport to have Skype capability. Also be careful you have the right router that can support GS settings. I don't and my RingCentral service is dismal at best.

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.

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.

I tried a lot but it does not accept Cam or cam of phone as camera for skype.. What I did not try was wireless ? (Wifi) camera. Multi usb hub works well also wireless keyboard mouse work nicely.

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.
