I can confirm that this is possible.

Thanks! May reinstall Skype for iOS then as I thought it did not support push
at all, hence me deleting it. But before I do, can I have Skype running, then
lock the phone and still receive push?

Yes, Skype has to be running, which I personally prefer as there are times when
I don't want to be available on Skype. I also don't want to give my phone
number to everyone.
Also one big advantage Skype has over Viber is that the Windows versions and
Mac versions of Skype are accessible, but the Windows and mac versions of Viber
are not.
Those interested in this can check out my discussion on this topic here.

Thank you Jonathan oh so perhaps Skype only pushes these when the app is open
and or in app switcher. Well I prefer push notifications even when the app is
closed to save on battery, resources, etc. And thank you for making the import
contacts feature clearer. Didn't give that a thought to be honest.

Hi Chris, Skype pushes for me, when I get a call, and when I receive chats.
Also, the reason why all your contacts are imported into Skype is because they
want you to use their calling features for calling other phone numbers. This is
an area Viber isn't in right now so it's understandable they are doing it the
way they are.

Ok, I can actually give out two compelling reasons to try Viber.
1. It offers push notifications compared to Skype.
2. Unless specified otherwise, only contacts that use Viber appear in your
list. With Skype you can import your contacts, but all will be shown regardless
if they are using Skype.
Just my observations anyway.

Well, I can't help you on that one, but maybe you can have it as another
option along with Skype like I have. For example some of us are on
Skype, some are on Viber, others may be using both.
