Skype Mobile for Android - 3 Major Tips - Video Review

When using Skype IM, can the Droid be set to give the same sound as Skype IM does on my PC?

Israel is cdma, does that mean I can use skype in israel on my droid? If I am able to use it and another verizon skype user has it on their droid, then can I call them without using minutes? Verizon told me that I can't use skype oversea.

Thanks

I've adjusted my online Skype settings to "no history" and I've cleared the history a number of times, saving every time, and a conversation from May 12 keeps showing up in my events on my Droid....if I close the conversation, it goes away (obviously) but as soon as I log out and then log back in again, it shows up.....and not the whole conversation, just the last 5 interactions. How can I set it to not save ANYTHING? Is there a setting on my phone that I have to set as well? I've looked and can't find anything....

Noob question.............why do I not see video on my droid from caller and caller cannot see video from droid?

I read the terms of service when downloading Skype mobile about domestic calls using the Verizon network and Verizon minutes and International calls use the skype network, but what about if you are out of the country?

I'm going on vacation to Mexico soon and have been told by customer service that I can get unlimited data for $65/mo (which they would prorate to ~$15 for a week), but calls would still be 99 cents/minute. Would a skype call from Mexico to the US be considered international and therefore use the Skype network? The terms of service don't seem to address calling from outside the US!

Thanks!

Simple. Your Droid does not have a web cam. Also if you were able to use the video camera that is on your droid, you wouldnt be able to see the screen to view the person your talking with.

Is there any way to delete the events from my Droid in the Skype history? I try a long touch and get an open or close option. I choose close it goes away until I log out and when I log back in all the events are still listed there. How can I delete these things for good? Is there any link between the PC and the mobile settings, I've tried to set them on the PC, but it doesn't seem to transfer to the mobile version. WTF this seems like it could be great with just a few tweeks, but instead Verizon and Skype are stringing us along to either pay for another app or buy a upgraded phone.

Skype without Wifi. What's the point? If you are paying for CDMA roaming while in some rare country that has CDMA you would be better off getting a sim or alternate phone because the data roaming rates are so high it would be cheaper to fly home and speak to the person - in person. Oh, and uninstall doesn't even work for Skype so just don't use, find alternative and complain.

Looks like the Skype app got updated this morning... can anybody tell what changed? The comments aren't really saying anything, and they didn't put up any release notes...

I can not make outgoing calls using Skype Mobile. It is calling a 404 area code and I get a message that the "number you are trying to reach is not in service" message. I have checked all of my settings and they seem to be correct... Thanks.
