Submitted by Chetan on Tuesday, 26 August 20089 Comments

Skype is well known service to make free calls and cheap calls to some countries, and is generally used by computer users. But computers are not portable and so you can’t utilize it to call everytime you want.
This is where mobiles help out, but Skype can’t adjust with Symbian mobiles right away, there needs to be a client which can make Skype run well with mobiles.

So here is a free skype client called iSkoot -

iSkoot is a client through which you can make calls to anyone in the world, or can receive calls and also chat through its IM service. International calls can be made in a very cheap price with its SkypeOut service.

How to install?
It just requires your phone with internet access. Select your phone model and download its installer. After it gets installed, you will have to enter your skype ID and password or just have to register for a new one if you don’t already have one.
Once you login, your contacts would be displayed in the client, and then you can just hit the button on a particular contact and call them.

Its easy for those who are already familiar with Skype, but for those who are new to all this, there is a big help section which explains every part of it.

Calling through skype iSkoot is just similar to a normal call, except that the client connects to any active server of our network, and when the connection is accepted, then the call quality is the best.

Installation of iSkoot can be done only with Symbian 9.1 Series 60 3rd Edition and Symbian 9.2 Series 60 3rd Edition.
The mobile phones which can install iSkoot are -
