Does this phone support skype usernames with special characters like "." in them?

Yes, mine was firs.last and it worked fine; I just wish I could get another handset for it.

Yes... If I remember correctly, you can choose numbers, text, an special characters on the keypad. Our phones are at our place Mexico and they work great. Can check when we are there in November. But, I think they do.

I don't use Skype, so I don't know, but I'd go to manage apps and click on Skype and hit clear data then try it again It should work

Yes, mine is still working after over a year. It has locked up maybe 2 or 3 times and just had to reboot (unplug power). Still shows Caller ID and our phone even states the name associated with the Skype account for the person calling or the phone number.

I haven't tried it. If you can Skype on this phone, then go for it. The phone I bought was broken at purchase. I didn't know this until one day, when I answered a call and instead of a black screen, I had call status and options including speaker. Forget this phone. Nokia was purchased by Microsoft, and they have now completely dropped support--that wasn't much of a change.

That seems to me more a problem with Skype then with your freefalk . Make sure you are logged in correctly, and that you either have a Skype subscription it Skype credit.

I just checked it out and have exactly the same problem. Turned both phone and router off and on, but still doesn't work. Skype on my PC seems to be working all right. What's going on?

As of May 2014, the answer is yes. It is compatible with Skype. I have it and I use it often. Today I have used again to talk to my familly abroad.

This has nothing to do with Skype. There is probably a way to make it work with Skype but there are much easier solutions at lower pricing. Search amazon for Skype phone adapters or Skype enabled phones for a better solution.

I found a fix for this, I have tried it with the iphone 5 and 4 and works for both. Its seems to be a problem recognizing area codes. For example if the entry is John Smith +44 78910112 take out the +44 and replace with 0. Names then announce perfectly.

It may not be compatible with Skype. And don't worry mine doesn't work either

No it cannot. Not even an other version of Skype phone can be used. Mine was damaged and i had to ship it back. I don't recommend this product.

Not that I am aware of. I believe other GS models purport to have Skype capability. Also be careful you have the right router that can support GS settings. I don't and my RingCentral service is dismal at best.

I guess you can not use it with Skype accounts.This phone is for use VOIP systems using SIP protocol or as a stand alone telephone.For international calls we use callwithus.comRegards, Marcos

J.D. thank you for the guidance. I went ahead and got the Philips phone....it works great and Philips customer support helped quickly with one set up issue (you can call them, they answer right away, not like the email-and-wait system Skype has!). Still some quirks with the Skype system but hopefully once they answer my emails (24 hours and counting) it will get sorted ourt. JR
