I really want skype I'm using the orange network and skype won't let me download the program why not? And is there a way around it?
From what I've read only verizon wireless in the USA can get and use the app and program. Why?

Because SKYPE and Verizon have an exclusive contract for BB support.

What if I connect the phone with verizon network next time I'm in the USA and download the app. Then when I re-connect it to orange I'd still have it??

Can't be done. You can't connect to Verizon's network with your device.

Nope. Even if you got the app, it wouldn't work.

I guess you missed the comment above which read, "Unfortunately there is no way around it."

There is no point in skype without a BB with a dual camera, it will just be like making a phone call.
