About Skype WiFi

With Skype WiFi you can get online at over 2 million public WiFi hotspots worldwide at the touch of a button.

Here’s how:

1. Simply connect to any supported public WiFi hotspot.
2. Open the Skype WiFi app and tap the big green Connect button…
3. Ta-da! You’re now connected to the internet (wasn’t that easy?).

You’re now free to browse the web, check your email or enjoy free calls and messages to all your friends and family with the Skype app – remember, it’s a different app to the Skype WiFi one. ;)

Features:
• Pay only for the minutes you use and avoid those expensive all-day internet passes.
• No matter what hotspot you’re connected to, pay using your Skype Credit so you never have to fill out another complicated sign up form.
• And so there’s no unexpected surprises, Skype WiFi will automatically disconnect after 30 minutes in case you forget to disconnect.

• WiFi connection to compatible network

Skype WiFi is provided by 3rd party WiFi operators around the world.

Its confusing, but this app is to connect to paid WiFi (i.e. airports) by using Skype WiFi instead of paying the WiFi provider. Your first 30 minutes are free, and you can use it to chat on Skype or surf the internet. Its supposed to be more convenient because you already have a Skype account and (maybe) Skype credit. You can use your Skype credit to buy more airtime instead of having to break out your credit card and pay on the network. Its supposed to be a convenience app.

Skype took a good app from the past and totally screwed it up just to make a profit. Very confusing now and does not work well. In the past there was only 1 Skype app and as long as your device was connected it worked, ...now there are more than a few. Skype got greedy, stupid, confusing and does not work well. ...Anyone considering Skype should look for something else, save yourself the time and frustration.

There just don't seem to be that many Skype WiFi hotspots around, and even if there are, with this app you have to first connect to a network before it'll tell you if it's compatible with Skype Wi-Fi. That's annoying - especially anywhere there are multiple WiFi networks.

If you connected once and lost connection there's no way to disconnect and Skype happily charges for 30 mins. That's fraudulent practice and we should stay away.

I tried to log on and I THINK it tried to send me some sort of error message . ... but there is no real way to tell because the interface is such crap. More unstable and useless junk from skype/Microsoft. Stay away if you can

And cant even send a suport request from my phone without ending up in an infinite loop of redirect

N70%
by N####:

Quite useless when traveling, as it doesn't show where networks are available and it takes an external internet search. I barely know where I am and where I'm going, am I expected to walk and keep looking at my phone? I have Pokemon Go for that, and I don't use it (especially not without wifi...). With all the Starbucks, it's just easier to find that with my eyes on the city. This app would be great if it had built-in access to a map showing available wifi spots near me

Cannot believe an app from so well-known company would make such a trivial mistake of not having a map. This app is useless without it. Do they not have any product manager on-board?

Q70%
by Q####:

My question is how am I supposed to know when I am near a Hotspot? Notifications are sparse. There needs to be a map of known partner locations too. So far, the fact that in my experience abroad I have not been able to use it in a huge city like Paris has been hugely disappointing. The one time I got notified of a Hotspot being nearby, I was already connect to a free Hotspot.

This app is really handy although WiFi access is a little over priced. Also think it is really silly that access is charged by minuet rather than per MB, eg I use for instant messaging, I might be waiting 2-3 minuets for a reply while getting charged despite only using a few KB of data. What lost it the star however is this app will jump in and try to charge you a per minute rate on WiFi networks that are usually totally free! Beware.

USELESS!!! USELESS!!! USELESS!!! USELESS!!! USELESS!!! Couldn't find a hotspot here in Saigon, Vietnam on the busiest, wifi filled tourist street in town....Bui Vien St. D1 Also, it says you have to connect to a wifi router BEFORE the software can find you any more. What a joke! If I can connect to a hotspot I wouldn't need the app. USELESS!!! USELESS!!! USELESS!!! USELESS!!!

Couldn't get it to connect anywhere in Bangkok so no wifi for me. Back in the UK in my local coffee shop with rubbish free wifi I decided to piggyback on the BT openzone and pay for Skype wifi. . To my horror 11pence a minute at that price is rather watch the world go by.

No matter of my location around Europe, the quality of calls (not to mention video calls) is VERY low. I will try anything else but this one. On my laptop has the same poor quality. Skype used to be better in the past. To avoid anger & upset, look for something else people.
