Skype no voice or video call. Only IM
Hello. I just noticed that there is no option to voice call or video call via Skype in my contacts. The only thing I can do is to send a IM. Strangely enough I can be called by someone on Skype and it works ok but it won't show as a contact but rather as a Skype login. Any idea how to fix it?

Re: Skype no voice or video call. Only IM
well now...
that is interesting... I have heard of some folks having weirdness with their skype on the n900...since M$ decided to start killing the all the fun for various devices... Still works fine for the n8x0... I imagine your sitch is solvable though... since there are no reports yet of the n900 suffering terminal skype-death. I'm sure one of the n900 gurus will input their input, understanding, suggestions and solutions .... over the next week for you. |

DNA_Splice is right, I also only have "Skype IM" but not "Skype call" or "Skype video call".
There is a "Call with Skype" which is a different animal. It is to call an ordinary phone number using your Skype credit. That one is still available. |

Well that right sucks.
Hopefully it can be sorted out for the n900... |
Re: Skype no voice or video call. Only IM
This might be something related to the recent Skype updates. I think there have been some changes to the online status system.
I have noticed that whenever I log into Skype on my N900 I cannot see my Skype contacts' online status anymore - everyone appears offline, and I would suspect that's why you can't Skype call anyone anymore. If we're on the subject of missing features then I am also annoyed with the fact that Skype group chats do not work at all. |

Indeed they have changed their protocol, and legacy clients are left out.
Currently, the most up-to-date protocol seem to be their Web protocol.

We still can make a skype call.
Just open dial pad from phone app, change cellular call to skype, open keyboard and type skype nickname (for example echo123) then press dial. |
Re: Skype no voice or video call. Only IM
well ...
good news still ...then...for the n900.. it is simply a matter of "convenience" in making calls... |
