The app is great!!! However, it would be even better if in the future we are also able to receive and send text messages. I don’t understand why this is not added from the get go…

Thanks Sony for the Skype app, and for listening to the fans. Me and my friends are very happy with this application :)

@ 135 – Shedagilos.

To set up the profile and contacts you have to do this on your PC..the Skype app on the Vita is just the app, but can’t do the features you can on your pc.

Also your next question, yes I used video chat on the Vita last night with another friend from North Carolina…I’m in Toronto and it worked quite well.

Has anyone used video chat with other Vita users?

Is anyone else having difficulty setting up Skype on the Vita? Seems there’s no setup menu or anything to get profile pictures or multiple contacts! I find this app strange.

The memory issue with Contacts on the Vita for Skype has been addressed in the Skype Vita forums. (The Sony Blog post for Skype app on Vita, mentions if you have any problems, to issue your problems on the Skype Vita Forum support page).

The answer they had was:

“At the initial sign-in the synchronization can cause the application to exit if there are many contacts, try signing in several times with the same account to load all contacts and prevent this from happening. Should work with up to 150 contacts. ”

May be a hassle initially, but apparently works.

Also, found this on Skype forums support for Vita for anyone using a Mac with this problem:

“On your Mac go to preferences,general,then uncheck show address book contacts that should fix the vita problem should be similar on pc ”

Hope that helps

Not sure why so many are asking for text chat on Skype for Vita.

We’ve already got the Vita’s Messaging built onto the system, so if I want to just text, I use that function.

If I want video chat I use Skype.

For me, it’s fine the way it is now.

Thanks for this app…greatly appreciated.
