Help Why won't Skype work?

Hi all!

I'm a long-time IT guy who is new to Android (just got a VM Intercept for Christmas). I'm having an issue with Skype: I can log in and see all my contacts, but when I click on one to call them, I instantly get a "call ended" screen. If I try to call again, I get a message that says something like "2 calls in progress; you must end one to start another". I can't find any way to end the rogue call, so I use Advanced Task Manager to exit Skype and restart the app.

Any suggestions? I've googled the heck outta this, but my Google-Fu has failed me.

AFAIK, this is 2.1 on a VM Intercept, with the latest version of Skype installed from the Market. I've verified that my Wi-Fi connection is working properly with the phone.

Ideas? Thanks in advance!

I'm having the exact same problem... with an HTC EVO 4G.
 
I had this problem, nothing seemed to work, then suddenly I had no problems. I will I installed and unistaled it 3 times.
 
I FIGURED IT OUT (at least for me)! I had my Wi-Fi settings set to a static IP. For whatever reason, once I changed it to dynamic, Skype starting working. Hopefully, it will solve your problem, too.
 
I tried to do what you did but, it was already on dynamic so i tried static nothing really fix my skype. i was in a call with someone when skype crashed or something. I tried to call them back but that didn't work. I'm basically having the same problem you had but worse. please and thank you i need the help right away
