Hi everyone

I got a new 3 sim card today topped it up with 15 pound, 5 for the blackberry services and 10 for the all in one package (internet, text and min ).

I downloaded skype application on my unlocked bold 9900 and its working like a charm.

Just wanted to share this so people who wants skype can do the same

Is this the official Skype application in App World? I've taken a quick look and haven't seen it. Even though it uses a lot of bandwidth Skype works well when I use mobile hotspot on my 9900.

Where did you download it ?

[mjanabi]

if you do have 3 sim card and it has internet, then just go to planet 3 on your browser and you will be able to find it in the app sector, but you need to view all the apps and you will find skype.

When you click on it it will give you a link to download it

its not official in the app world. But you can find it if you have 3 sim card in the uk.

lets just say "belated april fool" and move right along..

there is no useful skype app for Blackberry, and none at all for the 9900.. the op needs screenshots

[FernleyE]

The no skype topic is probably the only real complaint I have regarding my 9900. It is the only feature I would say I think is a mandatory option. I use Skype prolifically for work and private Life and when I moved back to BB from Android it is the only thing I miss.

It is also the thing that is keeping me from buying a PlayBook.

Verizon has had Skype since last year.

[Mystic205]

this is true, but also an obfuscation.

the great value of skype is the VOIP voice calling, which is not offered... the skype version for VZ requires calling a gateway number to place a call ..this puts it in the same category as a calling card..of which there are hundreds of providers..

here is your photo, and if you want i can send you more photos.

I wasnt sure about it cause i downloaded it when i got my friend 3 sim card, cause i have orange then i return the sim card and put back the orange sim card again. That is why i got a new 3 sim card today and skype started working straight away after buying the add on

[emirozmen]

Where did you download it from?

[FernleyE]

By the way... whats a 3 SIM card and is this a UK thing?

[Mystic205]

its a cell provider and yup..

I'm on Vodafone... Great. Thanks though!

Does calling actually works?

[loreburne]

I had Skype working ages ago on my Bold 9700 when I was with 3uk it was available on their internet portal....just a shame their network fails in almost every other way!

I take it if you download using a 3 sim.... Then replace the sim with your usual network providers sim it will not work anymore?

That is true. However if you use there sim card you can actually makes skype calls even indoor, while my iphone 4s on vodafone i cant even call on viber anymore.

The internet on 3 is great but that is just my personal experience ( Dont work for 3 and i just replaced my orange sim card for the blackberry with 3 simcard today)

It works perfectly, but when you receive calls it shows you a UK mobile phone number which is actually the same for all contact ( does not show who is calling you).

Apart from that everything seems to be working flawlessly

You are just a tiny bit off topic dude.

[kolok]

Skype will only work on BB's on the following networks:

- Verizon
- 3 (UK & Australia)
- Telkomsel

If you are with one of Skype’s mobile partners, you can get Skype on supported BlackBerry® phones.

It is a tossup if I get more laughs or good information here. Too funny!

[ajst222]

But there is the official Skype app in the App World..

[nazy87]

Does skype works on bold 9900? If yes, does it support video calling?
