Need to make Skype approaches the go? With the Skype application for Android, you can make Skype-to-Skype calls, ring landlines, send messages, and video gathering with others. 

When calling a Skype account, calls are free. For non-Skype phone numbers, you'll need Skype credit, which is charged at an exceptionally low rate. Calls are receivable on different telephones, workstations, tablets, work area PCs, and any gadget with the Skype application. 

How about we see how to utilize Skype on Android. In the first place, you'll have to introduce the application from Google Play. Note that while we center around Android here, the Skype application for iPhone is comparable. 

Skype is the greatest VoIP (Voice over Web Convention) administration on the planet, and it's presumably the most straightforward approach to converse with your companions for nothing over the web – through content, voice (simply like a call) or even video. 

Introducing Skype and utilizing it on your Android cell phone can be somewhat convoluted, yet fortunately, we're here to make you through it stride by-step.

Skype is the quintessential video and voice visiting application—and you can utilize it on both Android and iOS. While the Android rendition of Skype bolsters video calling, it's not accessible on all gadgets. 

In any case, Skype is a superb apparatus for making free or modest calls—not exclusively would you be able to call starting with one Skype account then onto the next for nothing, yet you can make household and universal calls at very low rates utilizing your gadget's information plan or Wi-Fi association.

Step 1: Install Skype

Skype is a free app for both Android and iOS devices. You can find the Skype iOS app in the App Store, while the Skype Android app is in the Android Market.

Supported Android devices include: Samsung’s Nexus S, Galaxy S, Droid Charge, Tab 7; HTC’s Desire, Incredible S, Evo 4G, ThunderBolt, Flyer; Sony Ericsson’s Xperia PLAY; LG’s Revolution and Optimus Black; and Motorola’s Droid 3, Atrix, Xoom, and Photon. For a full list of supported devices, go to Skype for Android’s Android Market page (click the “More” button in the Overview section to reveal the list). Skype requires Android 2.1 or higher.

Supported iOS devices include: iPhone (3G, 3GS, and 4), iPod Touch (3rd and 4th generations), and iPad (1 and 2). Skype requires iOS 4.0 or later. If you have an iPod Touch 3rd generation or an iPhone 3G, you will be able to receive only video.

If you have an Android device, you may see two versions of Skype—one called “Skype for Android,” and one called “Skype Mobile for Verizon.”* If you have a Verizon Android device, you may download the Skype Mobile for Verizon app (otherwise, download the Skype for Android app). Skype Mobile for Verizon does not allow you to place domestic calls, but you can still place international calls over a 3G or Wi-Fi connection. Skype for Android, on the other hand, lets you place domestic and international calls over a 3G or Wi-Fi connection.

*For this article, I used Skype for Android, not the Verizon version. When I tested Skype for Android on a Droid X running Android 2.1, there was no video chat option.'

Step 2: Set up Skype

Android: Once Skype for Android is installed, tap on the app to open it. You will be prompted to sign into your Skype account (or, if you don’t have a Skype account, to sign up for one), using your Skype username and password.

You will then be prompted to sync your Skype contacts with your phonebook contacts. You can choose to sync all contacts, add phonebook contacts to your Skype list, or sync no contacts. If you add phonebook contacts to your Skype list, you’ll be able to easily call your phonebook contacts directly from the Skype app.

On the main Skype screen, you’ll see four buttons: Contacts, Recent, Call phones, and Profile. The “Recent” button shows recent events—for example, phone calls you’ve missed and instant messages your Skype contacts have sent you. The “Call phones” button takes you to a screen where you can call a physical phone (as opposed to a Skype username), and the “Profile” button lets you update your profile and status message.

You can also access the Settings menu, where you can set up notifications, IM options, and whether Skype starts automatically when you turn on your phone.

iOS: Once Skype is installed, tap on the app to open it. You will be prompted to sign in using your Skype username and password. You must have a Skype account already created to use Skype on your iOS device—there is no option in the app to create a new account. You can create a new account for free by going to Skype’s website.

Once you’ve signed in using your Skype login details, you will be taken directly to your contact list. Initially, you’ll have only your previously saved Skype contacts in your contact list. To see contacts from your phone, tap the “Contacts” button in the top left corner. In the main Contacts menu you can find contacts from your iPhone, but you cannot import them to your Skype contact list.

Step 3: Make a Call

You can make two sorts of calls utilizing Skype: Skype-to-Skype calls and Skype-to calls. The first, Skype-to-Skype calls, are free (however you might be charged in the event that you are on a restricted information plan), while the second, Skype-to calls, are charged at a low rate (for instance, it's $0.019/minute—1.9 pennies every moment—for calls to the US). 

To Make a Skype-to-Skype Call 

Open up your Skype contact list. In the event that you have an Android gadget, go to your Contacts list, tap the symbol close to where it says "All contacts," and pick "Skype." In the event that you have an iOS gadget, open up your Contacts list, tap the catch in the upper left corner that says "Contacts," and, from the following screen, pick "Skype Contacts." 

At that point pick the Skype reach you need to call, and tap "Call." You likewise have the choice to send them a text, or, in case you're on an iOS gadget, to begin a video call. 

To Make a Skype-to Call 

On the off chance that you need to call an ordinary telephone line, tap the tab for Call telephones (on Android) or Approach (iOS). In the event that the individual you need to call is spared in your telephone's phonebook, you can tap the phonebook image (in the upper right corner on both Android and iOS) and pick a number from your phonebook. Else, you can utilize the number cushion to type in the telephone number you need to call. Make certain to change the nation code to the right nation (on the grounds that Skype is a Web calling administration, there are no "residential" calls). 

You will be charged by Skype for all Skype-to calls that you make utilizing Skype's portable applications. Calls are charged every moment.

Let’s Skype!

As I noted before, Skype is the application everybody considers when they consider Web calling. Skype is an incredible application for modest information association or Wi-Fi calling, yet it's not perfect in the event that you need to make free Skype-to-Skype video calls. 

For a certain something, Skype video calling is accessible just on iOS gadgets (and on certain gadgets, for example, the iPod Contact third era and the iPhone 3G—you may have the option to get video) and certain Android gadgets. In any case, Skype is anything but difficult to utilize, almost everybody appears to have it, and it's accessible on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Android, iOS, Symbian, and various associated televisions. In addition, you can make modest calls to genuine telephone numbers—astounding in the event that you routinely need to make universal calls.
