Nexus 7 and receiving Skype calls
I'm thinking of getting a (Wi-fi only) Nexus 7, one thing I've heard is that it is not possible to receive Skype calls on it, at least not in the UK. Is this correct and if so why is this?
(Maybe it will be possible with the apparently imminent new Nexus 7?) |

Where have you heard this from? It is nonsense. You can make and receive Skype calls on the Nexus 7 no problem whatsoever.

There isn't really any reason why Skype over Wi-Fi shouldn't work in any country - it is no different from using it on a PC or laptop. The only thing I can possibly think of is that some mobile networks do specifically block VoIP (and some extend this to Skype too), so it's possible that those references you found were relating to it not being possible over 3G/mobile data. But for Wi-Fi, you'll have no problems here or abroad.

No worries. Enjoy Skyping! The Nexus 7 is a fab tablet, by the way - I don't think you'll be disappointed.
