Skype keeps the world talking. Say “hello” with an instant message, voice or video call – all for free*, no matter what device they use Skype on. Skype is available on phones, tablets, PCs, and Macs.
Skype for Android is an application that provides video chat and voice call services. Users may exchange such digital documents as images, text, video and any others, and may transmit both text and video messages. Skype allows the creation of video conference calls. Skype is also available for Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, or Linux, as well as Blackberry, and both Apple and Windows smartphones and tablets. Skype is based on a freemium model. Most of the services are free, but Skype Credit or a subscription is required to call a landline or a mobile phone number.
• Video calls – Don’t just hear the cheers, see them! Get together with 1 or 24 of your friends and family on a HD video call. Watch everyone’s smiles and cries when you tell them “We’re engaged!!!”
• Chat – Reach people instantly. Send messages to your friends, grab someone’s attention with @ mentions, or create a group chat to plan a family reunion.
• Share – Send photos and videos with your family and friends. Save shared photos and videos to your camera roll. Share your screen to make travel plans with friends or present designs to your team.
• Voice calls – Camera shy? Make voice calls to anyone in the world on Skype. You can also call mobile and landlines at low rates.
• Express yourself – Liven up conversations with emoticons, click on the “+” in chat to send a Giphy or images from the web, and annotate images with words, lines and more.
*Skype to Skype calls are free. Operator data charges may apply. We recommend using an unlimited data plan or WiFi connection.

Great app – I use the Skype to Phone function and the quality is crystal clear. Best of all, I can use my number anywhere in the world. Instead of paying 6EUR per minute for international call with number when I’m abroad, I pay 1.8 CENTS per minute with Skype. That is incredible. I conduct all my work calls with Skype, and my clients can never tell I’m outside the country.

Blocked my account as I use a new phone number. New phone number is registered to someone else. In validating the account it took my secondary email. Now I can’t even create a new account with my secondary email at it is now registered to the blocked account. Pathetic waste of security resources

I have used this app’s desktop version for two years of online gaming and then quit playing and paused using this app too.Also using whatsapp for over 4years but tonight me and my girlfriend noticed that this mobile skype version is far more smoother and has got more video quality transfer.We decided to use skype from now on.Seems awesome…
