Hacking Skype In & Out

We all know that people have been clamoring for a way to make Skype calls from their mobile phones1. Skype, the company, has been a tad slow in making our wishes come true.

However, TalkPlus2, a company we have written about in the past, has figured out a way to make Skype In/Out calls - no special Skype software needed. Watch the video3 on Skype Journal on how it is done, though I don?t think we kids should try it at home.

Skype Journal points out that ?TalkPlus has engineered a server without Skype components that talks to the Skype network as if it were a Skype client using Skype?s own language.? Alec Saunders thinks4 ?The impact on Skype/Ebay could be huge. Right now, Skype-Out minutes are free. Their revenue is from licensing, and from an annual 30 euro fee for Skype-In. Why buy a Skype-In number if TalkPlus can do the job??
