how to instal SKYPE on my iPHON4 .It's impossible because my iOS is 7 but SKYPE needs 8

No, its the other way arround. If you guys from Apple still follow this: "We produce newer stuff, make things not downgradeable .. so that you fool customer have to buy newer hardware from us ... "
I will simply buy myself an android, ... and by the way: what I had to go through to get my apple-id .. wow! Just that you guys have the most information about me, that you possibly can get? Now I have gotten a phone from my dad, that I can`t even use Skype with ... GOSH! Lost a future customer I'd say. Bye!

Then off you go to the company that makes phones that last forever, please say HI to the wizard when you see him.

Sorry. You can't. Skype will not run on iOS 7.1.2. The iPhone 4 can not run anything higher than 7.1.2. It's obsolete.

It's time to seriously consider upgrading to a newer phone.

Follow this: https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-iphone/

Under system requirements:

• iOS 8 or above.
• This version works on iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S and iPod touch 5th Generation.
• For users with iOS 5 or 6, Skype 4.17 for iPhone is available for download in the App Store.

The latest version can not run on an iPhone 4 because it requires IOS 8 and an iPhone 4 cannot run IOS 8.

I know. Did you read what I posted?

See the information in this support document about compatible versions of apps for older iOS. Install an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support

You said

This version works on iPhone 4,

Did you not mean to?

Wasn't my own words. System req from skype.com. If they have a version that works on iOS 5 and 6, I find it hard to believe it can't run on iOS 7 unless of course their website is out of date.

Then they are wrong and you repeated their error. Because it is an error, nothing that needs IOS 8 will run on an iPhone 4, for obvious reasons.

Earlier versions (if available) should work.

Whatever, I just didn't want your incorrect advice left there as was, check your facts (its in the TOU) and goodbye.
