Are you connected to Verizon's 3G network or are you trying to do this over Wi-Fi?

Skype mobile only works on Verizon Wireless' domestic 3G network. It won't work over Wi-Fi and it won't work in most data roaming areas, although I have heard some stories of it working while data roaming.

First off, are you on a Verizon or an Alltel plan? With that what PRL is your phone using?

I wonder if you were connecting to a former Alltel tower that somehow still thinks it an Alltel tower or your phone thought it was an Alltel tower. Either way the Skype app could have not gotten the right message or code that "Yes, you are on Verizon. Please continue connecting". BTW There is no basis to this thought just past experience with issues with merged areas.

If anything , I hope this give you some ideas.

Good thoughts but it has worked prevoiusly...It has only been since the last Skype update that is stopped.
