Today I tried to make a skype call to a computer from my phone and it said skype calls are only allowed through wifi in the U.S.
My question to you developers is..do you know of a way around this?

Sure do! I hear google has all the info you're looking for. This does not belong in development.

I just purchased the skype unlimited calling because i need to save on my minutes from verizon. I went to use it and it doesnt work in the united states to make a skype to land line or mobile phone call. It will not use my wifi connection either. Is there a way around this to be able to use skype to place calls over 3g or wifi to land line or mobile?
Wrong section.
were should I post then I need help with getting thus to work

This.
Makes sense doesn't it? This has nothing to do with development. -_-
how much did you pay for skype, and why?

Go to your market link, and download it for *free* from Verizon. And it's for unlimited Skype to *Skype* calls, routed through Verizon by an agreement/partnership (most probably to keep themselves alive in the distant future).
Oh, yeah: You might wanna work on gettin' your money back.
not really because a way needs to be developed to bypass the lock down from Verizon tgat uses the Verizon minutes instead of routing through Skype when calling a us number... If I were to call Britain it would go through Skype why can there be a work around to use Skype to make a call to land line In the united states ... this is why I put in development .... if some one can do a work around then people can use Skype and not have to waste money on a Verizon calling plan !!

I have downloaded Skype but it says that u have to use Verizon minutes to make a call through Skype to us land line but can use Skype to call a land line outside of us .... what's with that... does anyone else see how stupid this is for Verizon to have locked thus feature down just do they can get a few extra bucks from people already paying for high priced plans ...

Use skype via fring this has been discussed and many say it doesnt use your minutes.
Skype doesn't work worth a damn even with Fring. Ditch Skype and use Fring with a SIP account like freecall. Skype has completely sold out to VZW. Move along now and go to sip which is more open anyway.
I use fring all the time with no issues. The video calls work real well too
what is the best SIP account

Hi All! (pohe = phone)
I have a strange "problem": sometimes when I receive a call, I hear the caller's voice before I pick up the phone. I hear that she or he is breathing, speaks to somebody, etc. Same thing as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5W0OWDPhn0
How is it? Do You know something about it?
Now I use LeeDroid 2.2, but the same thing happened with the stock ROM, so I don't think it's ROM-related...but who knows...
Thanks!
There is a similar thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745969
But without a solution.

I've narrowed this down in my case to it being an issue with receiving calls from the AT&T mobile network. All the calls I've received that do this are from AT&T users or Net 10 users (which are using the AT&T network). No issues with calls from other Sprint users, Verizon, etc. As of now, Sprint hasn't been able to offer a fix.

So it might be an issue with the carrier not the phone or rom, maybe the sim, don't know.
Thanks for Your answer, I'll check this tread.

Hey everyone!
I have, what i hope to be, an easily solvable issue.
I am studying abroad and my school gave me a free nokia crap phone which is great for making phone calls. I also happened to bring with me my G2 (unlocked) and have a seperate plan with just data, I just carry these two phones around and the system has pretty much worked fine for me.
However, I realized today that I coud forward the incoming calls from my crap phone to my G2. I like this because since I have a nice phone I kinda wanna use it! I only have one issue, outgoing calls. If I could set up outgoing call forwarding to my crap phone, I could just leave it in my room and just carry around the G2.
TLDR, is it possible to make calls through the G2 and have it routed through my other phone number?

Are you rooted? If you are and your running on CM Roms there's an option for call forwarding, i never checked on stock and different roms so don't ask me
Fly like a G2
Not possible. Take a look at GOOGLE VOICE, may be able to help.
Yeah, definitely sounds like a Google Voice thing, and a fun problem to solve really.
Gvoice won't work because it only works with american numbers but I'm in israel.

doesn't the nokia have a sim? take the sim out and put it in your g2!
Problem is that I use a data sim in my G2...switching the 2 sims constantly would be more annoying than carrying two phones.

I am having the same problem, I am looking to forward outgoing calls to my nice phone.
Did you figure a way to do it?
- Either by programmatically create conference calls?
- Or by having the calls forwarded?
Thanks, Jonathan
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had any answers that could help me or point me to certain posts that I may have not seen. I have tried many Rome, including Jiminy and Z-mod, and can not get a full concrete ever for my questions. I have an Evo on Cricket, and I have problems that I have never been able to correct. I have full web, 3G...my calls always come through, but unless I am roaming, my phone can't dial out. It just says call ended after about a minute, unless I get into a roaming area, then dials right through, no problem. Also, I can't receive picture messages from others. I can send them, send them to myself, and receive multi-media messages, like the ones that are forwarded over and over again. So my question is, does anyone have any answers to these problems, or has no one ever fully had one working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thread moved to Q&A.
I know its been asked before and I also know its been shot down before...but still trying to find out if anyone had any kind of success with making a tmo wifi calling app for the our beloved nexus. I know there are other options but I want to be able to call anyone and receive incoming calls with my tmo number.
Thanks
Unfortunately, T-mobile's wifi calling has hooks in the kernel and the ril, as well as now being baked into the rom itself. It's VERY unlikely that this will ever happen. Sorry.
I was afraid someone was going to say something like that.
