Using skype on cellphone in europe using MiFi: If I was to take my verizon Droid to europe and use a Mifi to get internet access, could I then make phonecalls using skype?

Hi Sylvia Skype will work on your Mifi. Just make sure you have the right APN settings for the prepaid card you use in Europe. I would not recommend to use an USA simcard on a EU network. You will get a roaming surprise when you are back home.

I haven't used this phone specifically, but it should work perfectly fine with any home network. Assuming your internet speed is good enough to support skype, it should work just fine. I am from the US, but am considering this phone to use at my family's house in Italy.

I don't think so. It's a GSM phone and Verizon uses CDMA. I bought this phone specifically because it was GSM and I wanted a phone I could also use in Europe. Most of the rest of the world uses GSM, but only T-Mobile and AT&T; use it in the US.

Yes you can call when connected to internet. But not sure of the quality of the service as it depends on the internet bandwidth

Yes, you can.It is 100% compatible with skype.You can use it connecte to a network wireless or use a 3G signal contracte with your prefered company.Note: depending on 3G signal strong you could have some issues because the speed would be not the same that when using a wireless network

I have never tried this. My impression is that it can be used in any way that Skype can be used.

The landline use will only require high speed internet connection. If Verizon provides you with your internet service; then the answer is yes! However, if you are talking of Verizon as in your telephone voice service provider- the answer is no! You DO NOT need any other phone service for you to use the device as your landline service.. Remember this is a VOIP device.. thus Voice Over Internet Protocol .. you will be having your phone service through the internet... I hope this helps!

You could install Skype or similar programs to make wifi calls. Galaxy Note 3 is the phone.

The is actually made to be used in Europe. The 3g settings are for outside the United States so inside the United States it actually will only work on 2g. Its a good phone for callingf and texting. I don't use mine for internet.

Please check with your cell service provider if they offer software to support such feature. There is no software that does that that comes with the computer that I know of. You can do Skype calls from anywhere where the cell data provider has the coverage, but for cell to cell type of calls you need to check with your wireless service provider.

You can install skype, and you can make calls, but you must consider that this phone does not have a front camera, so you only be able to talk. Another thing to consider is the low ram memory available for use, despite the phone works great, the skype takes to much memory and sometimes it just closes itself.

The short answer is yes. However, many functions did not work on the phone I got because most of these phones are European or Asian in origin and operating systems are different. Verizon will be able to format the phone so that it will make and receive calls. That unfortunately, will be just about all you can do.

Hi guys,So, I was successful in getting the drivers to work! Now, my question is, can I connect this box directly to a phone jack and be able to use Skype at ALL phones connected at various jacks in my house? If so, which connector on the D-Link box would I use?Thanks!E

Yes...you can use Skype. All you need to do is download it onto the computer.

Sure can. I use one of these in Australia, and it allows you to put in whichever SIP provider you want, and has Skype built into the phone.

All you need is a high speed internet connection and a Skype Account (annual subscription). You can call landlines and cell phones and with a Skype assigned telephone number you can receive calls from landlines and cell phones.
