Skype on Nokia smart phones have previously been reserved for specific models or a specific operator-dependent version of the program. Now it has released Skype for Symbian that works with a wider range of Nokia phones.
Back in 2006 told Skype on their work to develop a version of its software for IP telephony and instant messaging that could be run on the Nokia smartphones. Eventually released a custom client that, among other things, could be used with Nokia phones in Three. Some new Nokia phones have also had Skype pre-installed.
But now there is a version in the form of a normal Symbian application that works with over 15 phone models that have been released in recent years. Common is that they have S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 or 2. Nokia’s S60 handsets with touch screen has 5th Edition and is thus not included in the crowd.
In addition to features that make IP calls to other Skype users (and the usual number if you purchased Skype credits), there is support for instant messaging and file transfer. Skype for Symbian works via both 3G and WLAN. If you connect to and making calls over the mobile network should have some type of packet data linked to their mobile in order to keep down the cost.
The program is still in beta stage and therefore may be expected that there may be some bugs.
