Hello McTim, I have skype running on my IDEOS and I'm able to make calls over WIFI networks and 3g/HDSPA I installed it two months ago. Please update your IDEOS software by doing the following Go to: Settings > About phone > Online update. Then you will be able to install skype from the Android Market https://market.android.com/ With traditional voice at 1bob a minute and declining, skype calls will eventually be more profitable for Safaricom (using EDGE/3G/4G ?) than traditional voice calls. So its in their long term interest to keep skype running :-) -----Original Message----- From: McTim <dogwallah@gmail.com> To: Joe Murithi Njeru <joe.njeru@zilojo.com> Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions <kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> Subject: [kictanet] the first net neutrality violation in Kenya?? Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 16:05:44 +0300 Listers, I've been breaking in my new Safcom IDEOS phone and just found that I can't download/install Skype on it, due to Safcom blocking it! I understand they don't want to lose voice revenue to Skype (now Microsoft apparently), but won't they make money on the data charges if I am passing VOIP packets across their network? Anyway, I think it rude that they sell me "Internet access", but then don't give me access to the full internet!! Has anybody gotten around this restriction by using another providers SIM? Any other workaround to share? -- Regards, Joe Murithi Njeru LPI Certified Professional (www.lpi.org) Zilojo Ltd. P.O. Box 39501-00623 Nairobi Kenya.
