For some reason I can't see it in my Canadian 1.6 donut market on my G1
I want to be able to use skype to talk to people over data.
search google for "android market enabler". Use it to set your properties to tmobileUS.
I did. It's not showing skype. I see other apps that were not there but Skype's not one of them.

You can't talk through data with skype, it's useless app.
I think that app has been taken down because I can't find it on the market either.
Here is skype. I found it on 4shared:

Skype will be releasing a true data client shortly, just wait for it.
If you absolutely need to use Skype right now and you already have a Gizmo5 account, you can install Sipdroid and use Gizmo5's Skype connector service. Obviously this is not as practical a solution as a native Skype client.
Is there any way to do international texting relatively cheap / free other than skype too?

Try Fring. It supports Skype with Voip. Can make Skype and Skype-out calls.

for text try voipcheap.com and eventually using it with and after use the sbmessj as a software on your android phone to manage everything. Of course you need a connection data too.

I dont have a tmobile acct, but I have a G1 & use textPLUS over wifi; its worked swimmingly for me so far & its 100% free too.
Tazer
Try using Nimbuzz, so far the best IM client that i found. And it is free.

for SMS purposes try ChompSMS, its a pretty neat SMS client and has international support.

Does anyone know if there is an app that allows voice changing?
or if some one is currently making one?
paid or free
SpoofApp does that, and there is another one similar. They both have the ability to record the call as well, with the voice change.

there's one called 123spoof for g1, they came out with i am t-pain for the iphone which is a autotune app.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btN5yuVcRes - i am t-pain.
Yes i have used bluffmycall and spoof, but neither of them have many options on voice changing.
i was thinking more a voice changing application that allowed you to chose your pitch and other factors. not really a app that sends you to a third party.
if any developer is interesting in making one PM me
I have a friend in the UK and I'm in Canada. We had Google Voice but hers got hacked and it's a nasty situation but anyway we want to be able to text, or do something similar to text. We go on ebuddy now but it's obviously not as nice as texting or alike. We can't text because we don't have international plans and a lot of apps like textplus aren't available in the Uk market.
Can anyone please help?
PingChat! check it out here http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.enflick.android.ping
Plus it works cross-platform incase you have any friends with iPhones / Blackberries

Seriously?
Just use google talk, which is also cross-platform (even more so than pingchat!)
But I can't set up google talk as a push service like I could with Google Voice. It's not the same.
PingChat isn't available for my friend in the UK, she's on tmob.

Since when is Google Chat not push?
Have you tried TiKL?
Have you tried TiKL? Turns your android into a Nextel. Works pretty good.

She has a wildfire. It's not showing up!
strange... I have it on my Nexus One, but I don't see anything about device restrictions anywhere.
direct link if it helps at all -

Why not use email?
use Kik messenger. it's whole point is to emulate BBM type chats, it's in beta, and pretty basic, but it looks gorgeous and they're adding features.
nimbuzz , fring for voip or chatting .
pingchat works fine too and there's an unreleased beta version of whatsapp it will be released soon.
cheers
KiK and pingchat don't show up for her. Any direct APK?
Try textplus.
Free messaging to anyone in the US. If you're not in the US or the recipient isn't, its free as long as they have the app installed.
kinda odd that she cant see most of these apps we r mentioning that most if not all of us can access to. is she rooted? n like someone stated, email is probably your best choice if everything else isn't working
How to get Google talk or call to work in other places apart from the US?
Sent from my X10i
I think you mean google voice? there's no such thing as 'call', and Gtalk is their IM service which is available world-wide. There are some methods available, but judging by people's comments they are extremely unreliable. I'd like to think that when someone contacts me via phone or SMS, *they will be able to contact me*, for me it's not worth messing with even though I'd really like to use GV.
Well if the a person studies abroad and has to call back home its gonna be pretty expensive. I installed skype but it has. Horrible voice quality.

There was an app in the market place via which one can make video caller rather phone calls for free via ggoogle voice. But they mentioned that its available only to US customrrs
I think this is only available to US customers, you can only call through gtalk to gtalk just like Skype. Gtalk call is very limited.

maybe soon Gtalk will release a better version but right now we have to deal with it. You can just use Skype for the meantime.

Hardly, I've using video calling on Gtalk via iChat, it works very well.
You can't call a service crap just because it doesn't offer a feature that you want (which it never advertised).
Well Google voice only runs in America.

Huh? I have perfect call quality with both google talk voice, and skype. You prob had bad internet at that moment. Maybe something updating.
If it's a girl, calling would be the classical way of doing it, but video chatting might be a little better... I don't know.
Yeah I guess

One week for today I'll be getting my gTab and I am new to Android in general. Are there any IM clients that play well with the gTab?
Scott
Honestly... I have yet to find an IM app that doesn't play well. I should also state: that is if you're looking to chat only. Getting into video is a whole other can of worms.

Just straight up IM, no need for video at the moment. New to android so I don't know the popular IM apps at the moment, should probably just search the market and see what is well rated.
Scott
For chat they all seem to work well.
I like imo.im the most.
It just looks better to me,
Its one of the newer im apps.

Personally i use ebuddy which incorporates all my gmail accounts yahoo accounts facebook chat accounts and etc.
I forgot about ebuddy. I tried it before when I was running stock with enhancement pack and it wouldn't work for me. Now im on tnt lite 4.2 and haven't tried it again.
I went with Trillian; I'd been using the PC version for ages, and love the elegance of what they have on Android. YMMV.
I just use google voice. Click on your contact's cell phone number (the smiley face to the right) and text away. You have to set up google voice once and you are good to go. Do a search on this forum for the thread on this topic

seconded.
i've tried ebuddy, im+ and a few others and Trillian seems to offer the cleanest UI in my opinion.
Anybody figured how to use skype with cam on an Euro p1000?

As far as I know, it is not supported by the skype software. Fring used to be able to do it, but skype blocked their client.

Thank you for the reply, I'm using Tango now, tested and works. Too bad Skype doesn't work, wondering why actually.
Would be nice to know if those providers having a contract with Skype actually do enable video...

That is the one thing that is driving me nuts. Having features that should be able to run on any carrier being exclusive.
Figured out a way, not the best but it works:
Download IP Webcam and configure properly, it will work with skype, but higher than 320x240 size it will most probably crash.

F**** skype, use oovoo. It's at the moment the onliest software where you can do videocalls between the tab and a pc (it can do other devices as well)
Hope skype looses enough users, it's really anoying that they still have not solved it. So give oovoo a chance...

Hmm... currently checkin out a couple of SIP clients with Video support, stating that its possible to connect with skype, just waiting for my account and then I'll let you know.
Edit: If there's really no solution, I might open a thread and see if a few dudes can come up with something ,I use to code TCP/IP stuff on Unix, but not (yet) familiar with the Java crap, as I'm not a fan of that language. Will checkout NDSK tonight, any developer reading this, feel free to contact me in case you'd like to do something together, alone I will not start, I'm stuffed with work as a freelancer.
