Skype over 3G

Doesn't work with my JB 3G iPhone, but hopefully there's a fix in the works. I hooked up the War Department's 3G iPhone and it works just fine. I couldn't even get past the login on my JB 3G iPhone. I removed Clippy like some MR members mentioned, but it still didn't work for me....
this appears to be a good place to find answers... the plot appears to be thickening by the minute though

Yup, I updated the mobilesubstrate via Cydia and *POOF* I'm doing the Skype thang from my 3G JB iPhone with the best of them non-JB 3G iPhones.....
If you did actually read, there's an update for mobilesubstrate in Cydia that will allow it to work.
I imagine there will be an update to this seeing as how Skype will become a default, or at least I hope.
in cydia search for voip, iforget the whole string. its like voipover3g or something. you install it but it needs to be editted to allow skype to work, well thats what it says from the info on the file. i dont feel confident editting a file so im just going to wait.
I assume you're talking about editing the plist file here. If so, I've tried that several times and it's not working.
when you say you are going to wait, would there possibly be an updated version of voipover3g, and i am just wondering would there have to be an update of, mobilesubstrate, from what i have heard the new update of mobilesubstrate just disables mobilesubstrate when skype runs, so things like backgrounder and voipover3g wouldn't work with skype.
saurik just released a new mobile substrate that enables backgrounder and voipover3g etc. MobileSubstrate 0.9.2805-1 now fully supports Skype's DRM.
Cheers for the info.
EDIT: nope... now it crashes again for me after 1 minute.
Had to downgrade back to mobilesubstrate_0.9.2803-1
It's "com.skype.skype" but adding it to the plist doesn't seem to help. I did manage to get it working over 3G via a different method though.
the newest mobile substrate fixes the problem.....yesterday it didn't work....today, there was another mobile substrate update....and now it works over 3G.
i have heard mixied reviews about the new mobilesubstrate can anyone confirm if skype crashes or not with the latest mobilesubstrate, and also if 3g now works with skype, with the latest mobilesubstrate? also is there anything i would need to do to get 3g to work with skype? any help would be appreciated.
I can confirm that Skype is fully working with the latest version of Mobile Substrate.
I have it fully working now with voipover3g, however when I try to make a call I get a called failed message. Same call works fine over wi-fi. Maybe t-mobile is blocking it on their side, would that be possible?
modified the plist and I can confirm skype voice calling now works over 3G. No problem with AT&T 3G so far.
Did you have to do anything else other than update the mobilesubstrate and edit the VoIPover3G.plist to add the "com.skype.skype" identifier? Do you still need to use intelliscreen or anything else?
