AFAIK, you can't get Skype on your Nokia.
Your Nokia runs symbian, not windows - so slightly different. (well, very different.)
Skype is available on the N95 last time I looked. As the N95 has a built in SIP stack for VOIP, I just used that instead and didn't bother with skypes propitiatory way of doing it.Your Nokia runs symbian, not windows - so slightly different. (well, very different.)

I tried it on my old N95 and never found a way to use Skype over my WiFi or any hotspots.
Unless of course, I purchased some credits - which defies the point of skype (imo.)
I think you may have missed the point of skype. What did you think it was going to do for you?Unless of course, I purchased some credits - which defies the point of skype (imo.)
My thinking is, my phone will connect to the net, it will also do vid calls, therefore I put the app on my phone, I connect up and get free skype to skype on my phone. Non?
What you said above that though, is there any chance of a duffer like me pulling that SIP stunt? Im no techno wiz.

Why not try "Fring" I used this on my N81 and it does more than just Skype it is free.
Thanks for all the replys chaps.Ive now added Fring and will try that once I retrieve my Skype login details.
Can fring video call? The video call is important as I have a lot of family overseas.

About 3 days after this post, my phone royally st itself. It started to cough a bit pretty much straight away (I thought nothing of it as it has "hiccupped" before and then ben fine). Then I had reason to take the battery out and when I turned it back on, drama. When I start it up now, the screen flickers with a myriad of stuff but underneath it all is a big Fring logo and the phone is completely unuseable. So Im deeply suspicious that the Fring shagged it.
