About

iSkoot extended the reach of PC Calling by allowing users to make and receive PC Calls using only their regular cell phones. With iSkoot, a mobile phone user gets the power of PC Calling as part of their normal communications capabilities. iSkoot eliminated the need for special hardware, headsets, microphones, broadband connections, USB phones and even PCs, and consumers don't have to go looking for a WiFi hot spot. iSkoot had an extended partnership with Skype. iSkoot offered Skype-branded mobile software to mobile network operators worldwide.
