New thread about Skype

I'm starting a new thread about Skype because I didn't want it to get lost in the earlier, longer thread.

So, do I understand correctly that I can unload the Skype program directly to my Android phone, and then I will be able to share video calling with anybody else who has Skype on his cell phone? That could prove useful.

Yes.

Go to the Google play store, the same place you got the antivirus. You can download the app there. Try the app "Tango " also. Be advised you need to be on wifi for them to work properly. They will work on a 4-G network in a large metro area, but if you don't have an unlimited data plan, you could be in for a big bill.

What Glen said, but also keep in mind that unless you both have a phone with a front-facing camera (i.e., it's on the same side as the screen rather than on the back of the phone), it may turn out to be an exercise in frustration...

Not a problem. That's why God

invented mirrors. People with back facing cameras only can just get a mirror, position it so your mug is in it, point your camera at the mirror and make your call.
