I don't understand circuit and packet business but if you want to call phone numbers it works with international numbers only and if you pick them from the contacts list it offers to call them via skype using the credit on it. Maybe someone can hack it to skip the confirmation or allow national calls too as a separate option. Don't know if it is what you want but hope it helps.

The main idea is to make three servers numbers to work without Skype app on any three branded phone with 3 sim. As I understand skype app uses circuit switched algorithm, if so there is no way to get those numbers to work without official skype on 3 app. The number I've provided is a three server number for outgoing calls, yes international (and yes SkypeOut unlimited subscription plan is included). It's eather an circuit swich (three servers check back on Skype H3G app) or extension which is might be 4 digits for each of your contacts.. Closest thing I've found is AsPhone app created by a member of xda forums. This app is now blocked by Three (well done 3)

skype on 3uk VS skype for android

Hi geeks

Is it possible to install both version of skype on your Android phone and use them seperatly depending on connectivity ?

v1.Skype for 3 used as normal over 3uk sim unblocked phone
(if I understand correctly, this version only work on 2G or 3G , not via wifi?)

v2.skype for android used to connect on skype via wifi connection when you are abroad or in a near to zero 3uk network coverage zone?

if yes , is the same rule apply to windows messenger installations?

Do you think that you get better battery life using skype/live messenger for 3 version running constantly in the back ground compare to a wifi connection?

Many thanks

    "Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live" is the one 3UK pimp's at the moment

    but the "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" has more options and stuff

    i supose there will have been a combatability issue or something silly like that with the 1.5.0.13 so they went back to 0.10.16

    personaly i use 1.5.0.13 on both my dream and my galaxy np
    dream usein super D [cant remember what version off hand]
    galaxy useing 2.3.4 stock + cf root

    Answer: i 'THiNK' "Skype_1.5.0.13_3UK_live" is latest
    BUT: 3UK are Useing "Skype_0.10.0.16_hutch_live"

    Difference between Skype and iSkoot

    Hi,

    the problem is that some people don't know the difference between
    - Skype (being a native Skype client made and downloadable from Skype) and
    - iSkoot (a 3rd party Skype client made by iSkoot and used by 3 in UK [and in other countries])

    If you install Skype on your mobile device it will _always_ use your data allowance _unless_ you use wifi.
    However if you install iSkoot then it will use your GSM minutes to call a pre-set number and your "normal GSM voice call" will then be translated to a "web-like Skype call" by a gateway.

    Then it's get a bit more complicated as 3 uses a custom iSkoot client which is set to call a 3 gateway phone number (different in each country 3 operates) - and that's why this call is free of charge as they're not billing for calling that number.

    So obviously, if you want to make "Skype calls" for free then you:
    - buy a 3 SIM card and
    - try to install an iSkoot client on your device.

    Let's see the platforms

    WinMo:
    - no downloadable Skype client as Skype discontinued support for the OS, but you can install and use old versions from the internet
    - no customised iSkoot client by 3
    - there WAS an original iSkoot client which worked on 3 after you modified the registry and filled in their gateway details - but from 22/01/2011 iSkoot has been shut down so just as for the original Skype client you can only install the old version

    Android:
    - Skype client downloadable from Skype (Market)
    - there WAS a customised working iSkoot client for 3 for earlier versions of Android but there is none for Froyo (AFAIK - PLEASE CORRECT ME WITH A LINK OF A WORKING CLIENT!!)**
    - there was an original iSkoot client on the Market but as I told you iSkoot has been blablabla...

    as far as iPhone concerned - I'm not really an apple guy and can't be bothered really but there is a Skype client supported by Skype, so that's why your wife using her data allowance as she uses the original Skype client from Skype...

    She can
    - use wifi when available
    - get an iSkoot client modified for 3 (if it ever existed for apple)
    - buy a cheap and small "3mobile" for her Skype calls - she doesn't even have to top the SIM up ever!


    Hmmm, I think I've done a pretty good job explaining the differences in Skype and iSkoot (aka Skype on 3) :)

    [edit]
    ** Forget to mention that I've spoken to 3 Customer Service on last Sat - when I was thinking that I want to upgrade to a Desire HD, but I don't :) - and was told that "for Android devices Skype calls use your 2GB data allowance". When I asked what if I use a 3 client for Skype I got the reply: "if you know how to do it then it's free for you" :p
