Right my bad, sorry – silly me, I assumed that VZN labeling skype on other networks as 'limited to wi-fi' implied that it would not be on VZN I'll be sure to put my legal weasel word hat on next time I read a mobile operator powerpoint slide LOL.

Yep, sorry folks, my bad – I had wildly assumed that VZN marking the others 'limited to Wi-Fi' implied that VZN did 'Verizon Network' and Wi-Fi

Yep, WTH2.1, that's true, of course, you're right. Hopefully D-Day won't be too far away when Goog finishes integrating http://www.gizmo5.com and GV will have a client end-point, that should blow some barn doors fully open, finally

I just flashed a different custom ROM (dominator) and skype now works for me. Guess the 5.0.5 version of Cyanogen does not suppport it.,

I am also on Cyan 5.0.5 and have the same FC problem. This sucks. I'm gonna try flashing a different ROM, maybe its the custom ROM thats making it bug out. =/

I didn't misunderstand you…but for those of us who wish to browse with higher speeds and/or access data with wifi speeds you have to turn it on and off and may be blocking an incoming call simply by browsing the web on wifi. Background running only occurs with wifi off. I generally have wifi on to have the benefit of faster data access when available. Geez!

there is no need for wifi because it works on 3g and vzw lines its not like the other ones where it needs wifi

You misunderstood me. I realize it doesn't run when WiFi is active. I'm hardly ever on WiFi. What I meant was it runs on the background normally when I'm out and about. I only want WiFi support for when I go to Canada, Europe, etc…or if I'm in poor coverage area and want to make an outgoing call.

Every time I launch it i have to force close immediately… Anyone else having this problem? I am on CyanogenMod 5.0.5. I would like to try this out.

it only uses you vzw minutes when you use it to call a persons cell for skype to skype its free and use vzw lines instead of wifi so you get better skype calls unlike the iphone where u have to use wifi with vzw you use there lines and 3g
