We've already talked about how Verizon's "exclusive" agreement with Skype has created a Skype client that has a number of quirky restrictions -- including the fact that it eats your wireless minutes in some instances, in addition to not working at all over Wi-Fi. But this week Skype Journal's Phil Wolff discovered a problem with the client we hadn't heard of before: apparently users who are using the Skype app over 3G can't turn on Wi-Fi. As in, at all. Users who try to use the Verizon Skype app while their Android-based phone is using Wi-Fi (to download mail, news, whatever) are greeted with the following message:There's no engineering reason for this, so what's happening? Verizon confirmed the oddity with Connected Planet, and insists that the problem is created because of an Android glitch that forces the user to disconnect from a hotspot in order to initiate Skype Mobile. But Verizon goes to great and seemingly-unrelated lengths to explain how the specially-crafted app actually runs over Verizon's traditional voice network and therefore has to comply with CALEA and wiretap laws:Verizon's apparently been listening to criticism that the carrier is forcing the app to run over their voice network in order to keep the concept of voice minutes relevant in an age where voice is simply data. Regardless, Verizon says they're working with Google and handset vendors to get the glitch fixed.
