What video call app

Colbaker · 13 Oct 2012 at 20:04

Hi all,

I have an iPad and Android phone, my wife has iPhone and android tablet but we are looking for a love video call app we can use across all platforms, we want it to work a bit like windows messenger used to.

Any ideas? We have tried Skype but it wanted us to enter a phone number and we wanted to do it over wifi.

Try Tango, use it for andriod and IOS phones and tablets

Skype uses wifi, if your connected to wifi

.

But other than that you can try Tango, which i have used a few times and theres also Viber iirc that does the same thing.

But i use Skype mostly to stay in touch with family in other countries.

Can't find tango for my iPad on App Store, or viber, also Skype wants me to enter a phone number but neither my iPad or the wife's nexus has a phone number

Any ideas?

Skype works fine. You're not using it properly.

Ok done a bit of digging around and it seems like Tango havent developed the app for use on the ipad :/

As for skype on the ipad, again this is what i could find:

How do I create a Skype account on my iPad?

You can use your existing Skype account or create a new one on Skype for iPad. To create a Skype account on your iPad:
1.Open your internet browser and visit skype.com.
2.Tap Join Skype.
3.In the Create an account tab, enter the required personal details and choose your Skype Name.
4.Tap I agree - Continue when you have finished.

You’re now ready to start using Skype on your iPad. You can also use the account you have created on any device that runs Skype - your computer, mobile phone or TV.

Also make sure its skype for ipad that you are using, found it through this link: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/skype-ipad-worth-waiting/

Many thanks that worked, although for some reason no video coming from the wife's nexus but she can see me on my iPad, looks like it is an issue with Skype on the nexus.
