If you're iPhone is jailbroken you probably need to update MobileSubtrate in Cydia.

I installed the Skype (and updated the mobile substrate) and it seems to be working fine for me. Did the test call, no problems, now waiting for one of my contacts to be on when I'm on it to do the acid test.

The problem is I did upgrade it, but then uninstalled an app named VoIPover3G... problem still occurs. I hope that I do not have to restore for the millionth time.

Well I just tested it. 15-minute phone call on my iPhone 2G using Skype to my bro-in-law's computer in Chicago. Voice quality was good, very consistent, no problems. The one "bug" seems to be that you can't fully hang up till the other party hangs up, but apart from that no issues. Nice!

Hi chas,

what is the 'mobile substrate'?

Cheers,

Open Cydia and make sure you do any updates - mobilesubstrate should be in there.

Is anybody having problems with skype saying "You must have a wifi connection to make and receive calls with Skype"? Even when you are using a wifi connection?

I sometimes get this message (they seem to be occurring more frequently now) when I try and make a call. I don't have a data plan for my 2G iphone so the only time I can be online is when I'm connected to wifi.

I've been able to get around this by rebooting my iPhone a couple of times but it's a bit annoying to have to reboot 2 or 3 times before skype believes that I'm on wifi.

Yep, it's jailbroken but AFAIK, the problems with jailbroken phones were more stability problems. Updating mobile substrate fixed all those for me...skype is rock solid other than it thinking that I'm not on wifi (which can be fixed by reboot).
