Best Answer
Technically you can use quite a variety of prepositions with the word Skype. For instance on, in, over, by, with, through, and via.
But most people prefer "on Skype" as it is similar to "on the phone". However, in technical documentation and in formal speech I often hear "via Skype".
As for the other prepositions, they are used less often but sometimes in a different context.:
