Skype video calling

Four of a kind

I've been trying out the new update to skype and have to say its fantastic. Quality is really good even from 3G to 3G.

What I would like to find out is, is it using more data to receive a video call on skype using 3G than it is to make a video call, or are they the same?

Only have 100mb per day mobile internet, which is fine when I'm not at home using the wifi, but if I make a few calls using 3G I'd say this 100mb would be used up very quickly.

Nah, 100mb is a lot, and unless you are on it for more than a few hours a day, I reckon you are grand. Thanks for the heads up though, didn't notice the update.

What network are you using, skype doesn't work at all for me over 3G?

Wow, I'm Vodafone also, and the connection drops after a few seconds ever single time, I know lots of people with the same problem. It works perfectly on WiFi, but never 3G.

Do you know what APN you are using? Prepaid or Postpaid? Do you have a VoIP add on?

I'm on prepaid, don't have a clue how to find out what APN im on? If you tell me how to I'll find out.

I have no Voip add ons(that im aware of)

As you've guessed I'm not very techy when it comes to this stuff

I'm on postpaid, I wonder does that make a difference.

The default APN is live.vodafone.com, so you probably have that, it's actually quite difficult to change.

Well, I'm meant to be technical, I've worked for both Apple and Vodafone and I can't make it work, so you may be more techy than you think.

Thanks for your help.
