To me, this seems like something Microsoft is saving up for Windows 8. This Skype limitation is particularly unexplainable because Microsoft now owns Skype and it could have very well tuned it to make sure that the app would work perfectly with the OS. In comparison, other VoIP applications such as Tango work fine even after you close them and Skype itself works perfectly in the background on iOS and Android. The Skype spokesperson who talked to The Verge said that this is due to the “combination of how Skype works and how the Windows Phone OS works.” The application cannot run in the background, which means once you exit it you cannot get calls anymore, nor do you get any toast notifications from it. However, there are still some caveats left. The latest version includes the ability to search and add contacts, call landline phones, improved app startup time and general bug fixes. Microsoft has released the final version of the Skype client for Windows Phone devices.
