Skype For 3 Network (Three, Drei, tre, tri, Hutchison) on Windows Mobile with iSkoot

[Ikkari]

This is a tutorial to get the Skype service from Three working on a not
official supported Three mobile.

1) Download an install iSkoot for WinMo http://www.iskoot.com/pc_download/Wi...Mpro.CAB?code=

2) Install iSkoot and start it, but do NOT sign in now, just let it create
the registry entries we need! Exit the app when the login screen appears!

3) Head with your favorite Registry Editor to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE

4) Update the following entries with your "Three Country specific address"* :

BackupHost
CallUrl
DefaultSkHost
Pushhost

If Pushhost don't exist DO NOT create it!

5) Exit your Registry Editor and start iSkoot !
You have to be on your Three Data Connection for iSkoot to work,
it will not work with WiFi, i think!
The first time you try to log in it can take up to 5 min, don't ask me why.

How to get your "Three Country specific address"
Look first at the bottom of the post maybe someone did already the work for you!

1) First you need a browser which is capable of faking a User Agent
We have to force "Planet 3" to believe that we are using a ThreeSkype
capable Device (which we use but they don't know )
I used the NetFront Browser, install it you should easily find it on the net.

2) Open NetFront and go to:
Menu -> Browser Setting -> Menu -> Network
there is a option to change the User-Agent

3) Make a new User-Agent:
We have to fake a Three distributed Phone which is capable of Skype.
I used Sony Ericsson W910i

Change the User-Agent to:
SonyEricssonW910i/R1CA Browser/NetFront/3.4 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

and the platform to:
SonyEricssonW910i/R1CA029

Save the settings!

4) Now go to Planet 3 with your NetFront Browser
(use the Three data connection)
the url for Austria is:
http://mobile.drei.at/hb/homebase/HutchKey
and download the Skype *.jad file SAVE it to your Device! DO NOT INSTALL IT!

5) Open the Skype *.jad file with a text editor:
search for:
BackupServerUrl: and get your "Three Country specific address"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 Optional)
You could also use this to get the Java Version for a non WinMO Phone:
on the same url you found the Skype *.jad file there is the *.jar file
Just check your History and change the extension from *.jad to *.jar
Download the *.jar file to your device!

7 Optional)
Open the Skype *.jad file with a text editor:
Delete the whole "MIDlet-Cerificate-1-1:......" entry and save it!
I used this trick to install the Java version from the W910i on the
shitty Nokia 3120 i got on my contract, although it's not supported by Three
it works perfectly!

Three Country specific addresses:

It would be nice if some one couldmake install cab's for the country specific
Registry entries!

I also added the Net Front Browser as a attachment!

Advantage of using Skype For Three:

If you make a call through Skype it will root it to a normal GSM-Call.

What does that means:

You don't need a 3G connection, a normal GSM Signal will be enough
to make Skype calls.

It will not make use of your data connection during the call, so no data
will be used the call is free !!!

Because it is a normal call, all functions are working as you would expect!
The Sound is rooted through your ear peace, the screen is shutting off to
prevent accidental actions.
You can also make a group conversation and mix up people from Skype an
conventional phone numbers.

Incoming skype calls are also rooted to a normal GSM Call.

but suddenly my iskoot stopped working. can anyone help. it constantly saying unable to connect. can u pls chek ur reg of iskoot and tell me the values?

[Ikkari]

The Three Skype servers are sometimes out off order. Just try to connect again, you can also call the Three service team to ask if their Skype servers have problems right now. If the servers are alright try to uninstall iSkoot an reinstall it.
A cab for the registry changes would be really helpful, the *Three Country specific addresses* cloud be added through a text or ini file.

Can someone give us a hand with the cab... i would do it myself but i have no clue how it's done...
