So, the first method that allows you to install Skype on your phone is to download a special installation file to your computer. After that, you will have to drop it on a tablet or smartphone and install it in the system.
An important point here is the compatibility of the program and platform of your phone. In fact, because of this seemingly trifle, users very often encounter the fact that they cannot install Skype on the phone. That is, either the process itself is stopped, or the launch of the application itself.
Go on the Internet and find there a special installation file for your phone model. Now it’s not so difficult. After that, using a special cord, connect the gadget to the computer, and then download the program to it. Now find it on your smartphone and start the installation. That's all. A few minutes and the process will be completed. True, this is not the only scenario.
Google play

By clicking on it from your smartphone, you can safely install Skype on your phone. So this is something like a hybrid of the past two methods.
