They donot connect us directly to Skype instead connect to their Telephone network (making a call from our phone) this make iSkoot more like mobivoip which went absconding very recently. I would rather buy a service which allows me to directly connect to skype or any voip provider for that instance.This is still serious - they store all our username and password for Skype details - they have not quoted this in their Privacy details or Terms of Use.First when you launch and configure your account details (user name and password) they do this:http://dev7.iskoot.com/script/getregkey.pl?name=;pass=;version=Treo%20v.0.2.62%20BETA;act=0;fwdnbr=The server returns with a registration key of type 837521182The also return a number to dial In my case: 16178616038and they get the contacts list in plain text. by hitting this script page /script/buddytxtlist.pl?reg=Would you really want to rest your skype details with a third party server that does not have any privacy policy and Terms of use.Better solution in my suggestion is to use a service that connects you directly to Skype instead of such middle men. Who can always go absconding with all your data or put your details at ultimate risk.

Hi,I'd loved the information from this site explaining how ISkoot works, but I have a doubt: I read your in issue that my telephone, in the case, a NOKIA E62, (I'm using an EDGE/GPRS data connection) will call to a number, in U.S.A., that is a gateway to my cellphone connect to skype network, and than, use all resources from that net to call by voip. OK. How many time I'll be connect by the conventional phone system? I'm from Brazil, and a conventional cell call from here to U.S.A. is very expensive... I don't understand why the ISkoot have to make this connection using the convencional phone system.... am I not in the already and full time in the internet using the CLARO DATA (is the data service from the cell telephone company here) ? Why ISkoot don't just use a gateway using the EDGE/GPRS service ? OK, just to understand...So, after I explain the situation, even I use the ISKOOT service how it is, do somebody knows how many time is this first connection duration by this gateway? After that, will I be using that TCP/IP common system to use the Skype resources, or I will be paying twice all the time I established and use the system to conclude a call? One time for the internet connection using the CLARO DATA (I have a fixed cost to use in a indeterminated time), and also (I don't know how many time) to call to this telephone gateway number?Thanks for the opportunity to write to this newspaper.Best Regards,Airton
