In reply to the discussion: Do you know about Skype? [View all]ann---
(1,933 posts)8. Been using Skype for years
to video call family members out of town. I have the app on my android phone (free from Google Play) and bought a year of unlimited calls in the U.S. and Canada for $31.00 from Skype. when it is installed on your phone, you can choose to use skype or your mobile carrier to make calls. Skype calls are not deducted from your balance.
I love it. However, I heard that Verizon doesn't allow skype use or makes it difficult to make or receive calls on it.
I don't have Verizon any more - thank goodness. They are TOO expensive. Virgin Mobile for me!

I think maybe it is that, but I'm not sure, because I installed the Skype through Google play store
