[APP] 3UK - Skype on 3 UK - Free skype calls over 3uk

---

Heres the apk for 3uk's Skype app
This is ment to be free to use (i.e. free voice call to other skype users) FOR 3UK Users ONLY!!!

so far it only supports Voice and Texts, NO Video calls yet
for Video calls use the Normal Skype (NOT free to use on 3UK) app on market

it the offical skype app from 3UK
seems to run on most android devices
runs Perfectly on my HTC Dream (t-mobile g1) and Samsung Galaxy s

to log in make sure your usein 3UK's APN (apn.three.co.uk) and not Wi-Fi

i expect if you edit the xml file for it you could get it working for other 3 areas
but i havnt the time or know how to get it done soz

the akp is just in a normal zip file so unzip and ur away

@kaizer006: is Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live the latest versions of Skype you added in the first post or is it a beta release superseded by Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live please."

"Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live" is the one 3UK pimp's at the moment

but the "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" has more options and stuff

i supose there will have been a combatability issue or something silly like that with the 1.5.0.13 so they went back to 0.10.16

personaly i use 1.5.0.13 on both my dream and my galaxy np
dream usein super D [cant remember what version off hand]
galaxy useing 2.3.4 stock + cf root

Answer: i 'THiNK' "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" is latest
BUT: 3UK are Useing "Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live"

Any remote chance of this working on 3 Australia?

...

This is just an FYI of what I've come across. I have the HTC Magic configured on the ATT US hsdpa network. I ran a port scan and found out AT&T is still not complying with what i thought was settled. AT&T blocks port 5060 which is the port that the SIP protocol functions. So, when you try to use skype, just like on the iphone, it will only work over wifi only and not over the network...but not because of the skype program for android, but because of att blocking the port....
if anyone has any information or comments please reply....I'd like to know more as well

2 free sims as well.

I saw a promotion last week for 2 free 3 sims (Say that when you are drunk) as well so I'm just waiting for the outcome of this. No top-up charge This means Really cheap Voip to International numbers over Wifi for me. I'll let you know how it goes.

i think there will be a large chance once we find where is the xml that contains the server address and edit it like what we've done to the iskoot client registry

in the local store they are giving away free sims, just walk in and pick one up, no questions asked.

Thank you very much for providing the apk file.

I have difficulty to download it neither from Market nor Three.co.uk.

It works well on my newly purchased HTC Tattoo with 3 PAYG.

Cheers.

Emilio

and also for 3 australia please...the number is +61430005340

check the data limits on the current sims.. It's 90 days free for a total of 150mb so not too great.

I got two free sims with the last deal, I get 30 days unlimited data for 30 days for £5 don't need to topup voice as well.
