Skype App for Android Now Available

Published

on

Skype is now available for Android phones, allowing users to place and receive Skype-to-Skype calls over WiFi or 3G in most countries. Add  a cheap monthly plan, or charge up your account with Skype Credit and you’ll be able to make calls to landlines and mobile phones.

Skype for Android requires Android 2.1 to work properly. One big caveat is that Skype calls over 3G are a no go. Before you get too excited about chatting all day using this app, don’t forget that Skype unlimited plans aren’t unlimited.

You can download Skype for Android in the Android Market or by visiting skype.com/m on your Android device.

    Also note that the Samsun Galaxy S line is unsupported. Can’t imagine why, but it definitely doesn’t work.

      Yes, you are correct. It’s down in the fine print I see…

    The app is clearly not ready for primetime. It stinks in its current state.
