I understand that you cannot use skype with this chromebook, but is there a way to easily make international calls to landlines?

Not tried it on this particular chromebook model, but on most if not all chromebooks you can install Linux to run side-by-side with the Chrome OS, therefore run Skype that way. It's explained in "Chapter 12 - Soup Up Your Chromebook with Crouton" of The Chrome Book (Fourth Edition): The Essential Guide to Cloud Computing with Google Chrome and the Chromebook

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.

This card didn't work for me since I couldn't call Germany with it. The best thing to do is to go to Skype and buy $10 worth of international calls there. You can call any landline and the quality was great.

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.

It has this option, but I have not tried it myself. On my previous phones, the "skype feature" works, it is just very small. I would use a computer vs. a phone.

Correct. Upon installation when someone calls your Skype number (must acquire one) it will ring both at your land phone connected to this device as well as in the computer or cell phone that is logged in with your skype account. And you can make phone calls to land lines from either your skyoe account in your pc, your cell, tablet or the phone connected to this device. I loved it.

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

Thats correct. You can not use the device with a landline to make an outgoing call.

Youll have to get some VOIP app to do that. The only free one I know of is Groove IP used with Google Voice. The number that would be shown is your google voice number. Virtually any android device can be used this why if it has wifi. I used a $40 prepaid phone to make calls over wifi with GrooveIP+Google Voice last time I visited Japan and it was no sweat

You will need a computer connected to the internet and skype installed<connect your phone and computer then use cordless phone to make skype calls>This device simply converts skype computer connection to standard phone jack rj11 format.You will pay for certain calls to land lines the rates are at available at skype.com

that I am Not sure you can do Skype but I use oovoo which is a better application so all you have to do is call somebody on skype after you've downloaded the app to your phone tablet and give it a try I don't see any reason why you can't because its an Android app and contixio runs android 4.22 and it's a quad core productthe thing that determines it is the operating system not the tablet brand so take a look at Android 4.22 and see what that says good luck

No, you cannot. This is a voice only phone that uses SIP protocol. No Skype.

I have not tried for direct international call, but if I use it through pingo I can make an international call. It works for my Iphone 4s.

You do not need a landline. All that is required is an (high speed) internet connection. Skype does not use hardly much bandwidth at all, you will not notice a difference in your download speeds. What is better, you can access Skype on many mobile devices with a wifi connection (such as Ipod, and even a PSP); you just need a wifi connection and earbuds with a microphone. Even better, when you travel (or use a computer at the hotel) you get your full Skype account just like you were home, all your contacts and calling costs you no more than at home. I go for the all-you-can-dial plan for about $25-30 per year. You will purchase the calling plan and the phone number seperately (total about $60)--but that is your entire phone bill for the year. It is even better--I am curently in Japan (military duty) and I call coast to coast, all year for only $60. And averyone calls me just like I was in Texas (got a Texas number). Tell me how you beat that? --Karlo J
