Skype 3.0 for Windows Phones
It’s better than ever before – the Gold version of Skype 3.0 for Windows Phones is now available for download.
It includes two cool new features: SMS and file transfer. Sending SMSs using Skype is a great way to reach friends and family instantly anywhere in the world – Skype’s low rates mean that you won’t have to break the bank to do it. And file transfer lets you send files quickly when you’re on the move.
We’ve ironed out the remaining wrinkles since the Beta release, and it’s ready to go. Download it now and give it a whirl.
Is a changelog beta->gold available? thanks!
Months ago I downloaded the beta version of 3.0 for WM but I disinstalled it as it had a bug, now I installed the official version but that bug is alwasys there, here it is: to dial a number in Italy you must ALWAYS including the area code and when you dial from abroad you have to dial it entirely, including the inizial “0″, so if I have to call Milano I have to dial 0039 02 xxxxxxx, if I dial the number in this way with Skype 3.0 the inital zero of area code and Skype dials 0039 2 xxxxx which is uncorrect and of course the call con’t be fullfilled.
On the other hand if I call a number which is stored in my contacts, such “0″ is dialed correctly and the phone call is successfull. How can I solve this problem? Is it really bug or I am soing something wrong?
@gianluigi.zanettini coming soon
@maurcory I’ll pass that on to the Windows Phones team – thanks for letting us know.
I have an HTC ozone phone. I downloaded the latest version and it appears to connect the call, but I can’t hear anything either through the phone or through my blue tooth ear piece. Am I missing something?
I am having the same problem as mik89211. I have an HTC touch with a plantronics bluetooth headset. I can only get audio over the speaker phone, not the headset. Nor can i use the handset, only the speakerphone works.
I have an older HTC Hermes (Orange SPV in UK) and I downloaded Skype 3.x for mobile. It worked perfectly over a wifi connection and I was able to send SMS and make calls over a few days.
Then, when trying again more recently, I see that I am unable to make call or SMSs. Skype opens, and appears to log in (automatically), and I see my contacts but I don’t see any online presence for my other Skype contacts. It’s as if I’m not actually connected to the Skype server. This is the case on several wifi networks, including the one that worked fine first time around.
I have tried all the usual things – log off/on, reboot phone, and re-install Skype. And during these issues I have been using my Skype account on my laptop without any problems.
It was great while it worked, but maybe I am missing something? Also, my older phone seems to cope better (in terms of processor/memory) with this version compared to the last, so well done for creating something that is lighter on resources than before.
I have the same problem as mik89211, my phone is a HTC S621 and I can´t hear anything either through the phone or through my ear piece. what am I missing?
thank you.
I have the same problem as mik89211, my phone is a HTC p3450 and I can´t hear anything either through the phone or through my ear piece. what am I missing?
thank you.
Wish: Is it possible to include an option to include the outlook contactlist on your Windows Mobile, just like on the regular windows version ?
I have the same problem as mik89211, my phone is a HTC Mogul and I can´t hear anything either through the phone or through my ear piece. what am I missing?
thank you.
I have the same issue as mik89211. And I tried on iPAQ 5550, Dell 1331SE, T-Mobile MDA. Both of them using Wifi and I can ONLy make 1 or 2 calls, then, the entire internet connection will go bad.
Hopefully Skype can give us some reasonable explaination or solution.
Also have had the speakerphone only problem on HTC touch HD and also on HTC Touch pro 2, it’s really irritating as I want to use it to call my friends who are travelling and I have to use the pc
I have encountered exactly the same problem with my HTC Touch Pro HD and the HTC Bluetooth Headset (which otherwise works perfectly with the phone).
I just cannot get the Bluetooth to send/receive the Skype audio which continues to come out of the devices speakerphone. This is really frustrating.
If anyone has found a solution, then please do let me know.
I’m having the same issue with Docomo T-01A. When receiving or making a phone call, the phone goes to speakerphone mode. The only way to stop it is by using the headset included.
I have the same problem with the HTC Touch Pro 2 – installs and opens fine, but the presence is variable and there’s never any sound received or transmitted. does anyone have any ideas?
I have just put 3.0 on my HTC touch HD (with SMS & file xfer) and chatting worked perectly for 24 hours. Now none of my contacts ever appear to be on line, even when they are definitely online. Adding Mobile to ActiveSync/Wifi doesn’t seem to help. Any ideas?
i am trying to use Skype Mobile for Windows Mobile via ActiveSync, is there a clear statement of desktop pc, Windows XP media edition settings, the Norton suggestions do not correspond to my Norton v16.7.2.11 screens.
Hi all,
Today i have purchased HP IPAQ VOICE MESSENGER SMARTPHONE with win mobile 6.1. i installed skype 3.0 for mobile. i can login to my account but when someone sends me a chat message then the entire phone hangs.. anyone of you having the same issue? if any one can help me then do reply me at aneelrahim@gmail.com. thank you
To most of the users that downloaded the SKYPE program but cannot hear any sound
I had the same problem and got to know that the program will not emit any sounds if you put your phone in silent(vibrate) mode. Try turning the sound on, it worked for me.
The only problem I have is that the sound comes out through the external speaker and everybody around me can hear my conversation(very clearly). Does anyone know how to fix this problem??? I have a SAMSUNG Omnia2 phone with a windows 6.1 platform
Thank you
Skype does not works on HP ipaq voice messemnger (FB142AA#AK6)

Any improvement in the pipeline?

My samsung SGH-I780 always have know speaker prob…
Ciao
We know that you have withdrawn the WM version because you want to force iOS and Android… someone pays you to do it. But you are well aware that Android will die soon and WM will prevail because Android is not an OS, it’s just an Java emulation that requires double the hardware than WM for the same software. You know it and that is why you don’t admit it publicly and cover it with “we want to offer our new customers an improved mobile experience” … soon we will have our good version… you will have to!
hello. why is it that whenever i try to open the download browser, it says that the page has been removed?
