[q] Skype call

---

Hi,

When i try to make a call of the standard contact dailer on my S2 with icecream, the phone want to make a paid skype call, and no voip call.
Does someone has an solution for that?

It would help to know the country you are located and your service provider.

I'm not familiar with skype but I know VoIP can be blocked by your operator. If that's the case then you probably need a VPN connection (just google) to make free VoIP calls.

I have t-mobile in the netherlands. But when i open skype, i can make normal voip calls, but not from the dailer. it is not very usefull to always have to open skype first.
skype is also logging off in a while. thats also very strange

no solution?

"but not from the dailer"
which dialer u mean about it? skype's or the phone's? if you make calls from skype's dialer, then ofc, u have to pay for it. just like dialing from the phone's dialer. the differences beetwen the two method is the company who gets ur money. (if u use 3g, then both of them get money )
if u want to make a voip call then click on the green call icon - in the skype contact list - next to the person's name, and that's all. Note, that it will only be voip, if the person who called has a skype account too, just like you, and NOT a ordinary phone number associated his/her account.

i the skype dialer you are referring, it will use your skype credit and be sure you are connected on wifi..


or if you want try the "Viber" app

consider this: do you use "dialer" when you make VoIP calls on Skype thru your PC? i dont think so. same goes for mobile app. you choose whom to call from your online contact list, not dial a number. if you dial a number, naturally you're calling a "number." However, when you make VoIP calls, you're actually connecting with the "username" of your contact.

Hope that helped!

umm if you're calling Skype contact, you need to open Skype, just like you need to open FB Messenger to chat with your FB friend, or any other messenger app for the same purpose. Your Skype contacts reside inside the Skype app.

to solve the logging off issue, you can try uninstalling and then reinstalling, or upgrade (if such is available)

Cheers
