Does Skype work on the Torch using "ISKOOT"? Waiting for the Torch to hit Canada so I can upgrade from my Bold 9000 but would hate to lose SKYPE.

[Superh3ro]

yes it should work fine

Have you tried it on the Torch? How does it work?

[naekennedy]

how can i get skype on my phone? i searched it in app world and couldnt find it...

[NJBlackBerry]

You can't. This is about a Skype like product called ISkoot...

Yes disappointed that Skype won't work on the Torch....only Verizon has it for some reason

[NJBlackBerry]

Very, very old news.. VERY.

I am still waiting for someone with a Torch to report back on how ISkoot runs. Superh3ro, you said it should work fine. Have you tried it?

i used it on my 9700 its ok for chat sucks for voice. it also killed the battery i can only imagine what it would do to the torch since its the worst battery the blackberry has ever had. thats my 2 cents.

I use IM+ Voice for Skype. It works great. Go to shapeservices.com.

Please help me, I miss my SKYPE. I looked for that iskoot in the app world and it says "no results found". Should it be under another name?

[Dubdub]

Please read the thread. Skype is currently only available on BBs from Verizon. When it will come to other carriers, no one knows.

I DID read the thread (no need not be rude BTW), but I understood from it that the other app called iskoot was replacing skype on the Torch.

[Dubdub]

Have not heard that. Maybe use Google to check it out?

Thanks Motor Mama, I appreciate your reply. I see it is not available for the Torch.

Their device list is a little out of date.

I picked the Bold 9000 as "my device" and installed on the Torch.

Just started with it, and seems OK.

Mandel, im so confused with this downloading part. I used to have the iphone which was a bit easier for me.

How can I add the app on my phone if I cant find it in the app world? Is there another way to do it?

[iphonetoTorch]

Update: Ohh I see you do it via text message. My carrier (Rogers) wasn't there so I picked verizon. Will see if it works.

[iphonetoTorch]

Okay, thank you so much for your help Mandel. I successfully installed it. Connection is not super clear but its better than nothing. The only drawback is that I pay monthly fees to Skype so I can call any number (just not skype to skype) and it doesn't work on iskoot. It says I need Skype credits.
