Skype mobile – now on LG enV TOUCH, LG Chocolate Touch and Samsung Reality on Verizon Wireless
Even more of you can now put Skype in your pocket – Skype mobile is now available on the LG enV TOUCH, LG Chocolate Touch and Samsung Reality on Verizon Wireless.
It lets you make free calls* to friends and family on Skype, great value calls to landlines and mobile phones overseas, and send IMs to people on Skype anywhere in the world.
Here’s how charging works:
Skype-to-Skype calls, to or from your mobile, computer or TV
These calls are completely free*. They don’t count towards your Verizon Wireless minutes allowance.
Calls to another mobile number or landline number in the US
These calls count towards your Verizon Wireless minutes.
Calls to an international mobile number or landline number
These calls are great value – pay for these using Skype Credit or one of our subscriptions. For example, you can make unlimited calls† to landlines in Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey for just $6.99 per month.
All calls run on the largest and most reliable wireless network in the US, which helps to make sure that call quality is top-notch, and lets you use your favorite accessories, including Bluetooth headsets.
To get Skype mobile on your LG enV TOUCH, LG Chocolate Touch or Samsung Reality, you can download it from Media Center/Get It Now or from the Verizon Media Store – or text SKYPE to 2255 for a link to the download.
Don’t forget that Skype mobile is also available for DROID and selected BlackBerry smartphones on Verizon Wireless – just visit www.skype.com/m from your device to download it.
* You’ll need a data plan in order to use Skype mobile on your Verizon Wireless phone.
† A fair use policy applies to unlimited subscriptions.
How do these calls count against my data plan allowance with Verizon?
@ursulaholleman calls don’t use data at all – the app will use a small amount of data to handle your contact list, and when you send and receive IMs, but this doesn’t count towards your allowance. Hope that helps!
I’ll try it but if it gobbles up my data plan (25 mb / month) then it’s gone.
When will Skype be available for none-Verizon users?
cannot sign in – keep getting ‘enter password’ message (?)

My wife has a Samsung Rogue. I think it is ridiculous how the reality and the rogue are almost the same phone yet skype only works on the reality!! Skype people and Verizon people please make it possible for skype to work on the Rogue.
When will you offer Skype for other Android users? Verizon is a small blip in the world of Android users…especially Internationally.

Is Skype ever going to come to the Samsung Rogue??
Let’s get a pool together for the developer who creates a version for the Samsung Rogue. I’ll contribute $50.
