What is the output of the command

apt-cache policy skype-bin

for you? I get this result:

skype-bin:i386:
 Installed: (none)
 Candidate: 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
 Version table:
  4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 0
   500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ trusty/partner i386 Packages

So for me it would be possible to install skype from the canonical repo.
