I can never get Skype to work on my iPad and android..
The people are in there, says they are available, all the settings are ok on all devices but it often fails to connect... Useless If you cannot rely on it to work, was hoping to get my folks used to using it before I went to the USA as I have an ipad but an s4 phone and have free roaming data on three but no tethering so cannot use FaceTime,..
Tried Skype a dozen times to call them wit no response, then tried FaceTime and it connected immediately as always..
Might try google hangouts if that does the same thing, I only use it for texting on my android phone, didn't know if could video message too..
