Skype and Viber are proprietary applications. Before they can be installed, you'll need to convince the vendors to provide them for Ubuntu touch. – mikewhatever Mar 20 '15 at 4:24
    
If you are wanting to make Video calls - not specifically Skype - then it looks like you'll be able to use Google Hangouts when OTA-11 comes out. Here's a link that Jens Grivolla found (plus.google.com/+OliverGrawert/posts/aZi13q1bcWw) in answer to a question about Hangouts not working at the moment. The question is here: (askubuntu.com/questions/759832/…) – pHeLiOn May 30 '16 at 17:02

First, contact the Skype or Viber vendors (Microsoft, in the case of Skype) and ask them if they provide packages for Ubuntu on phones.

I contacted Viber for Desktop support (indicator problem) and received this "We are not currently developing a new version for Linux and do not have plans for doing so in the near future." So I believe developling Viber for Ubuntu Touch is also not their plan. Is there any 3rd party application than can connect to Viber? – Ljiljan Veselinovic May 28 '15 at 19:41
    
You'll have to ask Viber that as well, or see if they offer an API that allows third-party applications to connect to their services. – Nathan Haines May 29 '15 at 2:25
