Good example of contextual Skype Prime service promotion

By My status Andrus on May 30, 2007 in Skype Prime ideas.

Q: My satellite meter says I have a good signal but the box says signal strength 0. Please help!

A: You are probably pointed to the wrong satellite. Call me for help.

Spotted on Yahoo Answers. This is a good example of how to promote a Skype Prime service without maintaining one's own blog or website. There are lots of people with questions and issues out there and it makes perfect sense to answer their questions on various online forums they turn to.

Hej - I need support. I have downloaded the Skype 2.5 Beta Windows Mobile 6.1 to my Ericsson (X1) Xperia. The newest Sony-Ericsson phone.
Everthing works well until I should answer an incoming call or until the call recipient click to answer. Then, immediately the call is terminated and the phone screen says "there is a problem with the Skype.exe" please report the problem.
I have uninstalled the Skype once and reinstalled it again but unfortuantely the same problem occurs.

Please advise of how I can adjust or where I can go for support?

With Regards,
stefan

I have also downloaded the Skype 2.5 Beta to my Sony-Ericsson Xperia phone. I have the same problem. When I should answer an incoming call, skype crashes. Hopefully there will be a patch soon.

Hi, I have a Samsung Omnia. I downloaded and installed several times with several methods. Chat is working, but if I make a call and the opposite answer there is an error (there is a problem with skype.exe).

Same problem with my Samsung Omnia SGH-i900, install ok, progam looks working but only chat! When making a call its ringing but as soon the opposite answer the "line" is death.
Incoming call is ringing when answering the ring desappear
on the Samsung-Omnia but no connection and on the opposite ist still ringing after a while Skype closes itself on the Samsung-Omnia (crash).

Same behavior with HTC TyTN II / Skype 2.5 for Pocket PC: Outgoing: Skype crashes on answer, Incoming: Skype crashes on answer as well. After crashing there is a permanent empty error message that disappears after device reset only.
Un- / re-install did not help.

Thanks to all contributors on this as I was thinking of getting the Omnia - not so sure now until Skype fixes this problem. One website that I came across today seemed to suggest that you can load a small application called frings onto your handset and get into Skype via this - anybody tried this?

I presume that all the problems referred to above are when trying to access Skype on the move and that if you are at home within your wireless area net work then the Skype will work via the WiFi in Omnia - or does the same problem apply?

How about it Skype - can we use your service from the Samsung Omnia i900 - both via the WiFi and on the move?

Hello,

J’ai essayé d’installer SKYPE sur Samsung Omnia SGH –i900. Il s’installe mais reste inactif et indique que le reseau pas joignable. Mais la mémoire et le réesau fonctionnent bien avec d’autres programmes.
I tried to install SKYPE on Samsung Omnia SGH - i900. It's good setup but skype remains inactive (white box) and indicates that network not reachable. Maybe the memory is not suffisant ? But the memory and the network wifi) function well with other programs.

Thx

skype does not work on my samsung omnia, is there someone able to give some suggestions?

g.tambussi | Sunday, Mar 1

Thanks people. I was researching about omnia, and the main reason for me to get it is because I do need skype connection. which mobile with wi-fi do you recommend where Skype is working perfectly?
