I have used Skype on my HTC Wildfire with mixed results. Yes I was Skypeout at the other end of the call and that was in Cyprus where communications can be challenging. Skype to Skype seemed to work fine. Anything is worth trying to keep in contact at an effective price rate. I have also used Skype on my iPad with a wireless hotspot on my phone to connect the iPad. Worked great including my sending video and that was in the centre of Johannesburg where reception can be difficult. Give it a try Warmest regards Tim
