I DID THE MISTAKE OF PURCHASING IT AND PRETTY MUCH FLUSHED $30 DOWN THE TOILET!!!

I didnt try it during the trial period as didnt have time to, finallyi decided to purchase a liscence and try out my first call…wow did i ever regret it. IT SUCKS and ITS A RIP OFF!!

It charges you twice, once to call yourself and once to call the person you are actually calling. Meaning that if you pick up your mobile phone with no IM+ for Skype and dial that person it would probably be cheaper!

Really, do not purchase this rip-off product, its not worth it.

Pergunto se há vantagem em instalar o Skype no BB Bold, e usar com a rede wi – fi. Nestes casos, é possível usar a conversa Skype – Skype sem o call back?

1. The algorithm is to use the data channel for text and call setup while using the much more robust voice channel for voice.
2. Call quality is not a problem with Skype, which can have a 8Khz audio bandwidth but rather the mobile network where a much lower <3KHz bandwidth is the limit.
3. This algorithm is used due to (i) heavy load any VoIP would put on a data network – not to mention cost unless you are on an unlimited data plan; (ii) resource limitations of a cell phone itself to handle the processing required for VoIP (recall VoIP only took off after we had 1GHz PC’s). A ten minute VoIP call could use up to 20MB of data.
4. Do a Goggle search “site:skypejournal iSkoot” for more detailed discussion of this type of calling.
5. iSkoot on Blackberry brings along all the features of the SkypePhone as iSkoot wrote the Skype-related firmware of 3’s Skypephone and newly released Skypephone 2.
6. SkypePro is a flat rate subscription calling plan which allows you to make SkypeOut calls to as many as 36 countries (landline and cell in NA and China; landline only in other countries). You can get “local country”, continent and worldwide plans for $2.95/mo to $9.95/month.
7. SkypeIn is a separate service for having your own phone number that calls directly to your Skype account. (On some SkypePro subscriptions SkypeIn is discounted).
8. You can now assign your mobile number to be your callerID when you make a SkypeOut call. This gets you into calls on services, such as CalliFlower, without the need to enter a PIN number. I use iSkoot frequently to get into CalliFlower conference calls at no cost other than “local” wireless minutes.
