This is a tutorial to get the Skype service from Three working on a not

official supported Three mobile.

1) Download an install iSkoot for WinMo http://www.iskoot.com/pc_download/WindowsMobile/iSkootForSkype1.1.54_WMpro.CAB?code=

2) Install iSkoot and start it, but do NOT sign in now, just let it create

the registry entries we need! Exit the app when the login screen appears!

3) Head with your favorite Registry Editor to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE

4) Update the following entries with your "Three Country specific address"* :

BackupHost

CallUrl

DefaultSkHost

Pushhost

If Pushhost don't exist DO NOT create it!

5) Exit your Registry Editor and start iSkoot !

You have to be on your Three Data Connection for iSkoot to work,

it will not work with WiFi, i think! ;)

The first time you try to log in it can take up to 5 min, don't ask me why.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*)

How to get your "Three Country specific address"

Look first at the bottom of the post maybe someone did already the work for you!

1) First you need a browser which is capable of faking a User Agent

We have to force "Planet 3" to believe that we are using a ThreeSkype

capable Device (which we use but they don't know ;) )

I used the NetFront Browser, install it you should easily find it on the net.

2) Open NetFront and go to:

Menu -> Browser Setting -> Menu -> Network

there is a option to change the User-Agent

3) Make a new User-Agent:

We have to fake a Three distributed Phone which is capable of Skype.

I used Sony Ericsson W910i

Change the User-Agent to:

SonyEricssonW910i/R1CA Browser/NetFront/3.4 Profile/MIDP-2.1 Configuration/CLDC-1.1

and the platform to:

SonyEricssonW910i/R1CA029

Save the settings!

4) Now go to Planet 3 with your NetFront Browser

(use the Three data connection)

the url for Austria is:

http://mobile.drei.at/hb/homebase/HutchKey

and download the Skype *.jad file SAVE it to your Device! DO NOT INSTALL IT!

5) Open the Skype *.jad file with a text editor:

search for:

BackupServerUrl: and get your "Three Country specific address"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 Optional)

You could also use this to get the Java Version for a non WinMO Phone:

on the same url you found the Skype *.jad file there is the *.jar file

Just check your History and change the extension from *.jad to *.jar

Download the *.jar file to your device!

7 Optional)

Open the Skype *.jad file with a text editor:

Delete the whole "MIDlet-Cerificate-1-1:......" entry and save it!

I used this trick to install the Java version from the W910i on the

****ty Nokia 3120 i got on my contract, although it's not supported by Three

it works perfectly!

Three Country specific addresses:

Three UK: http://mobile.three.co.uk/948

Three Ireland: http://mobile.3ireland.ie/948

Planet 3 Url's:

It would be nice if some one couldmake install cab's for the country specific

Registry entries! :)

I also added the Net Front Browser as a attachment!

Advantage of using Skype For Three

Advantage of using Skype For Three:

If you make a call through Skype it will root it to a normal GSM-Call.

What does that means:

You don't need a 3G connection, a normal GSM Signal will be enough

to make Skype calls.

It will not make use of your data connection during the call, so no data

will be used the call is free !!!

Because it is a normal call, all functions are working as you would expect!

The Sound is rooted through your ear peace, the screen is shutting off to

prevent accidental actions.

You can also make a group conversation and mix up people from Skype an

conventional phone numbers.

Incoming skype calls are also rooted to a normal GSM Call. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tapash:
WOW!!!!!

Great!!!!

Its working with my samsung i780 with uk network.

Thank you :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hanserson1:
Where is the clue? When I do not use the data connection and use the GSM instead I have to pay the normal phone fee. So it is not a free call.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] inspireme87:
umm i dont understand what all of this is about but it seems like something very useful :o can someone expain in lame man term what this is.. please :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
It only works on Three with the Skype package, with this Skype package the GSM call is free!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
Can you please give me the Planet 3 from UK, i want to add it in the first post... also if someone else hase the URL's for "Three Country specific addresses" and planet 3 for other three countries, post it please and help other user save time!!

http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/singleurl

but suddenly my iskoot stopped working. can anyone help. it constantly saying unable to connect. can u pls chek ur reg of iskoot and tell me the values?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
The Three Skype servers are sometimes out off order. Just try to connect again, you can also call the Three service team to ask if their Skype servers have problems right now. If the servers are alright try to uninstall iSkoot an reinstall it.

A cab for the registry changes would be really helpful, the *Three Country specific addresses* cloud be added through a text or ini file.

Can someone give us a hand with the cab... i would do it myself but i have no clue how it's done...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Nersta:
you are telling us, that we can make fee free calls? or have i miunderstood something...

were's the hook? or limits?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
Yes you can make fee Free calls! The hook is your GSM provider has to be

http://www.three.com/ i think at the moment they are providing their service in about 10 countries.

If http://www.three.com/ is your GSM provider and you took the Skype package with your contract, Skype calls are totally free no Data or

Minutes will be charged!

iSkoot working with 6.5 ROM but not with 6.1

Hi,

as it's a pretty recent thread - compared to the other iSkoot threads I've found on xda-dev ;) - so I post this here however I'm using a Diamond and not a BS...

I also came across this tutorial somewhere - MoDaCo or 3G I think - and when my Diamond arrived I've instantly flashed it with a WM6.5 ROM and installed iSkoot - and worked like a charm...

However I've decided to downgrade to official WM6.1 this Monday and installed everything, fine tuned the system, put some cool themes on and synced my Outlook data just to find out that iSkoot is not working on that rom :eek:

Tried everything without success so I reflashed WM6.5 and voila iSkoot’s working again…

I have to start to investigate the matter - I'll save the registry and other settings on the two ROMs and hopefully I'll find out what makes the difference...

Will posting back the results :)

ps. Just for the record credit to the people who make this happen ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
Wired some friends and I are using iSkoot on Win 6.1 and we don't have any problems! I think it's a specific problem with your 6.1 ROM...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MALONGZY:
help

i cannot seem to download skype , i have configured the browser (netfront 3.5) which enables me to open three.co.uk page but when i click on download nothing happens. Cld u please upload the skype app. thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
Maybe you did not set the User-Agent correctly??

Anyways you don't really need to do this if you are from UK !!

Just install iSkoot and change the following Registry settings

to http://mobile.three.co.uk/948

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\BackupHost

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\CallUrl

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\DefaultSkHost

and if this entry exists change it, else ignor it!

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ISKOOT\SKYPE\DEVICE\Pushhost
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] yourmate:
the ROM is an official HTC

yep it's obviously the ROM (or I should rather say its settings) so I'll look into it but I just wanted to save some man hours if sy happen to know the solution ;)

CAB for Three Ireland

Does anybody have the CAB for three Ireland. I've tried contacting three, but because it's not an official 3 phone, they won't help me out.:rolleyes:

I had the 3 Skype on my old Nokia E65 & it's great the way it worked fully integrated with the phone. The winmo Skype that I have on my HD is rubbish & pointless, coz you have to use the speakers & the application stops everytime you get a cellular phonecall (which just defeats the purpose) & I've ended up not using it anymore.

Cheers
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
Sorry i have no cab, but fards was so kind and offered me making a cab.

But we need Three Country specific address for Ireland, there is a tutorial in the first post how to get that adress.

Is it only calls that are free? What about messaging?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
As i know no data transfer is charged if you use iSkoot, not for messaging and not for calls, with your Skype package on Three, like when you go to Planet 3 an watch online TV there is also no data transfer charged!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mtcerio:
How skype phone works?

Hello,

I'm just curious about this.

I understand that iSkoot, rather than making a (data) skype call, dials a local number, belonging to the iSkoot company. They answer and route the call through skype to your original recipient. In this way, our mobile phone does not use (almost) any data but rather dials a local voice call.

What I would like to know is: is this the way all the official three skype phones work? By dialing a local number (which should be free)?

Thanks

Matteo
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
Yes all three skype clients work like that, they are dialing a FREE local number via GSM. Also when someone calls you, you get called by that local number.

I have just cancelled my Orange contract (Yay Orange for your price changes and contract :)) and just ordered myself a 3 Pay Monthly SIM (£10pm, 100 minutes, unlim texts, unlim Skype to Skype, 30 day rolling contract WOWZERS!).

Does this method suffer from the traditional Skype problem whereby the sound comes from the rear speaker or is it properly routed to normal speaker/bluetooth headset as appropriate?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
NO because it's rooted to a normal GSM phone call through your dialer!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elcs:
Skype test worked ok...

Going to wait until Friday before I say it worked properly for free. My number will be ported over on Thursday, ill sign up the My3 and see whats what.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
Nice...

I hope you didn't had to much problems with my tutorial,

my English isn't the best :o
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elcs:
*grumbles*
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elcs:
It was very easy to follow. I only had two problems.

1) Finding a Registry Editor. Used Schnaps in the end.

and

2) iSkoot doesn't like connecting via Wi-Fi so it has to go via my phones data connection. No charges for this of course :)

Otherwise, plain sailing.

If someone on my Skype calls my Skype (iSkoot), am I charged in any way? (Either by Skype or 3)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
You can't use WIFI because 3 have to check your IP if you are a 3 customer with Skype package, but it only uses data connection for refreshing the contact list, and messaging it's not much and they don't charge for it!

In Austria I'm totally sure you are not charged for a incoming Skype call.

I think the should have the same paying structure in any 3 Country.

By the way in which country do you use your 3 ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elcs:
I am from England.

EDIT: Also what about the free Windows Messenger usage that 3 offers? How do we arrange that? :)

Three Australia's website for the java file is:

http://three.net.au /go/On3/Skype

They've implemented some security measure which renders iskoot useless, but the java files still work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] st3v3:
has anyone actually got the non java skype client for three Australia (or any others?).

ive looked everywhere for it and it wont let me download it from apps because my phone isnt supported.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ikkari:
They only blocked iSkoot in Australia, maybe because with iSkoot it is possible to use Skype Out. The Java versions are locked not to show Skype Out Contacts also they don't have a dialer, at least in Austria I'm not sure about other Three countries.

Three UK

Hello everyone! I am new to this group and so far I found it very useful!

I am on 3UK and I was using Skype for Windows Mobile, not very happy with it and I have now done the trick mentioned here with iSkoot and results are impressive, it works!

Thanks for the idea, never thought it would be possible.

P.s: I am on pay as u go!

Skype phone calls free for everybody on Pay as you go?

Hello,

it seems to me that with Three UK you don't need any particular price plan to make and receive skype calls for free, even without having credit on your Pay as you go card.

Am I right? Has anybody verified that this is actually the case? Even using iSkoot?

Thanks

maTTeo
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] telmohtc:
That's absolutely wright! As long as you use a Three phone that supports the three version of Skype or with iSkoot (With registry tweak)! But if you try to use Skype light on a three phone, you'll pay a lot for making and receiving skype calls.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mtcerio:
Great! Yes! It seems to work for me! Incoming and outgoing skype-to-skype calls are routed as normal GSM calls!

Only thing now is that when I receive a skype-to-skype call, I get a call from "skype service", and I don't know who is calling me. Not a big deal, but I was wondering if you get the same and if there's a workaround!

Thanks very much!

maTTeo

PS: do you know whether 1.54 is still the latest version of iskoot? EDIT: Yes, it seems to be. On the iSkoot website, there seems to be no VGA version yet. :-(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] telmohtc:
There is no workaround for incoming calls as of yet!

iSkoot 1.54 is currently the latest version.

[OT] Windows Live Messenger free on 3 UK?

Dear all,

slightly off topic, but maybe you can answer. I heard that Windows Live Messenger is also free on 3 (Three) UK, as skype. Do you know if we need a tweak, or the Windows Mobile client is enough, not to be charged data traffic?

I am using O2 XDA Zest with Windows Mobile 6.1, it's the cutomized version from O2. I have done exactly as it said in the first post in this thread but when i try to log into skype through iSkoot with modified registry, it displays message: "Currently unable to connect." I am using those GPRS settings:

APN: three.co.uk

username: BLANK

password: BLANK

I am able to connect to the internet with those settings but only to the free Three pages. I ordered a free simcard and i am using it at the moment and is has balance of 0.00. I haven't topped it up even once. I have HSDPA signal in my area.

Hi all,

I used to have a Skypephone S2 (which I got rid of cos it was useless!) and now have an HTC ROSE/S740. Both on 3 UK.

Now, when I had the S2 I could run the iSkoot app and use it to:

1) talk to other Skype users (on a PC or a phone etc) for no charge

2) I could talk to non-Skype users in other countries providing I bought a Skype subscription. I incurred no data tarrif charges.

3) I could NOT talk to non-Skype users in the UK regardless.

When I use a full blown Skype (not a 3 messed about one) on my S740 I can do all three options above but I do get charged a data tarrif usage.

Now does the tweak mentioned in this thread get round point number (3) or is that still a limitation? If it is I will conitnue to use - and pay for the data tariff of - the full blown Skype.

Thanks in advance for the help guys.

When I am texting someone, sometimes it will be working fine, but most of the time the threads are messed up. Someone will send me a message and the time I receive it will be like five minutes ahead of my phone time, so when I send a message in reply, mine is not under theirs like it is supposed to be. This causes my threads to get really confusing, with all the messages out of order.
