Overview
Welcome to the iSkoot User Guide. This manual provides step-by-step instructions on
how to set up and use all the great features of your iSkoot software. Using iSkoot is
easy—and with the help of this User Guide, you’ll have Skype™
1
on your mobile phone
in no time!
Once you’re set up with iSkoot, you can make and receive Skype calls at the push of a
button, make low-cost long distance and international calls using SkypeOut, and add and
remove friends from your contact list—right from your mobile phone. You can even set
your own online status. Plus, with iSkoot’s new features, now you can send and receive
Skype text chats too. Using iSkoot is as easy as using Skype on your PC: you can call
any of your Skype contacts for free (mobile airtime usage charges still apply), and you
can even place SkypeOut calls at the same great low rates. The big difference: now you
can leave your computer behind! With iSkoot, you bring your Skype with you, so you
can talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime using your internet telephony service.
What’s even better: With iSkoot, there’s no need for WiFi, cellular broadband, or any
additional hardware. The iSkoot network and handset software are designed to work
wherever your cell phone works! To learn more about how iSkoot and the iSkoot
network work to bring you Skype on the go, please visit the Products page on our
