    WHAT DOES IT COST TO USE ISKOOT?
    Making a Skype-to-Skype call: Airtime + A little bit of Data
    When you call a Skype contact on your mobile phone, it costs the same as making a local call – so depending on your mobile calling plan, normal airtime charges may apply. Once you're connected to the Skype network, your call works like a regular voice call from your phone. (iSkoot does NOT connect the call using the cellular data channel.) iSkoot also uses a small amount of data to keep the status of your contacts updated.

    Making a SkypeOut call: Airtime + Standard SkypeOut Rates + A little bit of Data
    When making a SkypeOut call using iSkoot, the same basic costs apply as making a Skype-to-Skype call noted above (which means that normal airtime charges may apply, plus some data to keep contact status information updated). In addition, Skype charges the applicable SkypeOut connection rates to connect the call to a regular telephone line, just as they would if the SkypeOut call originated from your PC.

    Receiving a Skype Call: Airtime + Skype Mobile Call Forwarding Rates + A little bit of Data
    When you receive an incoming Skype call on your mobile phone, the same basic costs apply as making a Skype-to-Skype call noted above (which means that normal airtime charges may apply, plus some data to keep contact status information updated). In addition, your SkypeOut account will be charged at Skype's call forwarding rates for mobile numbers.

    Using Skype Text Chat: A little bit of Data + Some SMS MessagesWhen you use Skype text chat on your mobile phone, the service uses your data connection to exchange messages with your chat buddies. In order to notify you immediately when a new chat message is received, iSkoot may send the software on your phone a special SMS message telling it to retrieve the newest message from the server. (Any special chat-related SMS messages won't clog up your Inbox, either!)
    I've used it for making calls to Skype users. I wish there were no charges for receiving calls from Skype users, but being able to make free (aside from airtime) international calls to Skype users from my phone has been handy.
