Go to
www.skype.com and let me know if there is a possible fix for this! :buba_phone:
I dont' think you have a grasp of what you have just stated and I don't know why Dash would thank you without correcting you...lol...no problem though, allow me to explain:
CDMA: stands for Code Division Multiple Access. Both data and voice are separated from signals using codes and then transmited using a wide frequency range. Because of this, there are more space left for data transfer (this was one of the reasons why CDMA is the prefered technology for the 3G generation, which is broadband access and the use of big multimedia messages). For the 3G generation CDMA uses 1x EV-DO and EV-DV.
GSM: stands for Global System Mobile. Even though it is sold as "the latest technology" in several countries, this technology is older than CDMA (and also TDMA). But keep in mind that this doesn't mean that GSM is inferior or worse than CDMA. GSM is the most used cell phone technology in the world.
3G technologies enable network operators to offer users a wider range of more advanced services while achieving greater network capacity through improved spectral efficiency. CDMA, GSM, and even older networks such TDMA are the networks that carriers use and 3G is what you would call the technology that allows for faster data speeds, streaming, transferring of messages, and a host of other improvements. That is why Verizon and Sprint who both operate on CDMA and have been using 3G for some time now are the top networks when it comes to data and that is exactly why AT&T has started to implement the 3G technology on alot more of their new phones, especially the Windows Mobile ones and I'm sure T-Mobile will eventually follow suit. Sprint is probably the only carrier who continues to push the envelope on better data speeds and are looking to push 4G. AT&T and T-Mobile are companies that work on the GSM network and have predominantly both used EDGE for their data. So when Skype says that it will only work on 3G, they want people to know with handsets that are not 3G capable that skype will not work, this will mainly be a problem with T-Mobile and almost all of AT&T as I have stated in their limited availability of 3G handsets. So skype will in fact work with the Mogul, I have friends in AUSTRALIA, EUROPE, and AFRICA and I have communicated with them through skype mobile. Granted I have not used my skype in about 4 months, but it did work via the mogul and via speakerphone, I can up my cab files to a thread if you like...I would have to find them because I have a few copies.
