Can I make video calls (Skype,Hangout) using wifi (not 4G) while my phone is connected tto the TV using this hub? Wanna display video calls on TV.

Yes, you can. I use with wifi and works great, the only thing is that you must place the phone somewhere where the video(of you) can be captured, usually by the tv.

Although there are currently several apps available on the Play store that use both WiFi and a Google Voice account to enable VOIP for making calls from tablets. Sadly, Google will be disabling this functionality in Voice sometime early next year.

I didn't know, so I just shut the phone down, removed the SIM and restarted. I am answering this using the browser over WIFI. I don't have Skype on here, but I would think that all functions that only required an internet connection would still function. I didn't have to turn the wi-fi on, as the phone defaults to "offline" mode when it's started with out a SIM card.

There is a seperate app for that, but I returned it prior to testing that functionality. I couldn't live with the frequent wifi disconnects and the video delay.

The short answer is no. This tablet cannot make a phone call the same way your smartphone does. The long answer is: you don't care. Google Hangouts and Skype (as well as any number of other apps) can both place and receive voice and/or video "calls" using this tablet's data connection. So yes, you can have that functionality but no, it will never use one minute of your cell phone plan. If your carrier tells you it did, they're lying. This device absolutely cannot make actual phone calls.

Skype works well, when connected to Wi-Fi, as for using it with a 3G dongle I've not tried but it shouldn't lag if you have good service. The people on the other side of my Skype said it worked but my picture wasn't as clear as their again they were using a Asus and I used the PIPO.

Yes, you're right, no oficial Skype. BB has it's own video call app, but you need the other party to have BB too in order to make the call. Anyway, it's possibe to install modified Android apps (.bar extensión) to the Playbook, so I did it, and now I can run Skype in the Playbook, of course, only over WiFi.

Only if ordered through cell phone provider (with 4G or LTE) that offer it. Of course there is always Skype and other phone call type apps using Wi-Fi with internet.

Skype simply needs a connection to the internet; it doesn't care how you get it. If you already have WiFi available you are set. If you want to skype from somewhere that doesn't have WiFi that you can use, then you will need a phone service. I use WiFi for my iPad.

you can certainly use google hangouts for video conferencing. Probably not skype since it is a microsoft program and requires drivers that do not exist on the fast and lean chromebox.It is very nice system. I use it in my RV

Juan, I'm not sure I understand your question, but the Tely Labs telyHD is able to make and receive calls from any Skype client and it works with any TV with an HDMI port.

Yes you can. I bought it for my daughter so her and I can Skype while she is at her moms. Its not the fastest when its connected, but it does work. Hope this helps.

Skype not supported in this TV. I have tried to install it, however Google Pay says its not supported as of now.

I have tried Skype only and it works well for my needs. We use it for an occasionally chat with my wife's family members currently in Europe as well as one of our close friends in Colorado that we don't get to visit often. Can't help with the Hangouts question as I've never looked into using that or set it up. Good luck to you, it is a great product and we're still raving about ours. We showed friends on Easter and it was a big hit.

yes, you can watch video through wifi... but two way conversation, its supposed to, but in practice volumen at max is so low that's impossible.You can talk through the App and it will sound good in the camera but the other way around... if someone speaks to the camera you will bearly listen (at max volumen) in the App.

Yes, you can stream videos such as Netflix, but as far as connecting to a t.v., I don't think so. It doesn't do that much. Just a simple android phone

I have never tried this. My impression is that it can be used in any way that Skype can be used.
