Nope. Any minimal amount of research or searching would have told you that.

The problem is that the Skype app is a Verizon App not a RIM app such as the FB or Windows Messenger apps

jorgea82,

right now from the U.S. is seems Skype only caters to a short list of phones and carriers. But it may be different in your country. I noticed you are with Claro, which I know to be a carrier in the Caribbean and Brazil. I'd do a little research with your local gurus to see if they are getting it to work as this program simply needs to access the internet to function. I assume people are getting it to work elsewhere as my former graduate research partner calls me from China using Skype on her cell phone. Skype has been a blessing as calls to Iran were killing me with calling cards. Now on Skype I am paying .13 a minute, which is a fraction I was I was paying before.

If you come to a dead end with Skype, don't give up. You can also try Fring.

Let me know how that works out for you.
