Cant get skype to connect (fring)

**brownhornet** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-04-2010, 09:34 AM

So of course the video chat was one of the first things I wanted to test... I can get everything to connect in fring except skype. Can someone else test theirs for me?

I just kept trying... a few times it would say couldnt reach servers or something and then another time or two it would just keep having the little spinning circle. I reset and tried again and it connected with no problem.

Where can one get the install for Skype for this phone... (granted, I haven't looked in the market place yet, have only had it for an hour now)

To do the video calling you have to add the person as a friend under the add friends option. You have to use whatever their fring user name is.

I just signed up for skype on my computer desktop(pre-installed program) which is free of course. After I sign up on my desktop I just use the same login information in fring and you can then make skype calls.
