Cons
well its hard to read an you cannot get clear calls at all an never can keep a conversation going an it looks a lil tacky
Summary
its hard to read an calls never clear at all
Pros
None that I was aware of.
Cons
High cost considering skype to skype has always been free as far as I can remember. First time I have ever had to pay for a skype chat!!!!!
Summary
This is the second posting I have posted, for some reason my first was removed. Perhaps because its not profitable to let the customer know they are going to pay standard mobile rates for poor quality connections. I have pay as you go T-Mobile with unlimited internet yet my 6.5 minute skype to skype call was charged at £0.87. I assume that a contract phone would have minutes from the allowance removed.
What a total rip off this application and the company who run it are pulling.

Have you tried reading how the software works? It is actually calling a local number to reach the Skype server. Then the call goes through Skype. http://www.iskoot.com/products/skype
Dont blame the software for your own mistake - RTFM first.
Pros
Nothing. I can't get it to work.
Cons
I'm not very technically minded and expect when you click download, files download and there's a button to click through to.
Summary
I tried to download on my computer and phone and got a weird file both times! Can someone please direct me to do this properly???

I am also experiencing the same problem. I get a text (sort of) file that look smore like a script file, displayed on teh screen...same thing happens on my PC and on my BB Bold.
Pros
iSkoot works great to be able to call or IM your Skype contacts without having to be online on the computer. The IM works well and all chat conversation histories are visible in the Skype chat logs on the computer. Calls are easy to make as well.
Cons
Problem receiving Skype calls on my Blackberry when the Skype account call forwarding feature is on. Calls go to my Skype voicemail not to my Blackberry. Call conversations are a bit distorted. Install may change some of you Skype profile settings.
Summary
All in all a good substitute for Skype while on the road or traveling abroad. Well worth the price. I get more use out of the BB IM or my text messaging service than Skype IM on my Blackberry because of the problems I experience with the Skype call forwarding. I highly recommend iSkoot for outbound Skype calls... It will save you a lot of money making long distance calls.
Pros
Ability to access Skype on my phone, ease of use.
Cons
Call clarity is somewhat muddled, takes a while to load contacts.
Summary
I like it because I can call my Skype contacts without being on a computer. The ability to be mobile and still keep in touch is excellent.
