Why use skype if you have Google Voice? I am using google voice because I added my GV number to my verizon favorite 10 so All calls I make or recieve with GV are unlimited. As far as International Calling Google Voice does this too. In your video I noticed a significan't lag between each party, I know This would be very frustrating esp during a phone conversation.

Just want to clarify - you don't have unlimited incoming calls with GV when using it with your friends and family. Just unlimited outgoing calls through the access number. Unless of course you use another one of your 10 spots and add your actual GV number, then disable incoming caller ID and let it default to just showing your actual GV number, in which case you would. You just wouldn't have any idea who was ever calling.

Thats just what I was thinking what good is it if it does not do wi-fi, =useless

So if I was to skype call a friend that was on my list but international would it be free or would I have to purchase credit? Or is it like talkin in a chat?

Skype mobile is TOTALLY worthless garbage. The whole point of SKYPE mobile for Verizon's CDMA network would have been to enable customers traveling abroad in other countries to USE THEIR FREAKING PHONES TO MAKE FREAKING CALLS using WIFI since the phone is a BRICK absent wifi when taken to Canada, Mexico....Europe....etc etc. The nerve of Verizon and Skype to have the application disable your wifi is DISGUSTING. WORTHLESS application that serves to only duplicate what Google voice already does. Hopefully Google will get Gizmo on wifi operational. If this happens Skype is going to fade into the netscape realm distant memory. It's a shame because Verizon and Skype could have really kicked some butt. Skype mobile for Android SUCKS!!!!

I guess you work for Verizon hence why you are so annoyed at my comment saying skype is useless without Wifi!

If you are trying to make VOIP calls over Wi-Fi then try Wingbee (available in the Market). I have been using it for the past 2 weeks - and am finding it works pretty well.

I wrote up detailed step-by-step instructions on how to use it here.

The only annoyance with it is that it constantly runs in the background and shows a popup screen every time you use the phone dialer asking if you want to connect the call over VOIP or Verizon - so it is one more step to make a call.
