set up Internet Calling - android
My parents live in italy so i use skype to keep in contact with them.
I despise the skype app with a passion. I find it intuitive, behaviors randomly, it is hard work adding contacts and the 'recent' calls, txt is is flaky to say the best. i cant get it to integrate into my phone properly either, so that i select a contact from my phone book and then choose to dial normally, or viz skype.
I do have it set up so that when I select a contact to call it offers me normal or Internet calling. How do I set skype up so that when I select 'Internet calling' it just dials via my skype account (preferably without the stupid skype app).
Has anyone ever done this before?
thanks :)

I'm not sure about setting up skype, you may be able to find some SIP settings somewhere on the internet.
I use a service called sipgate on my android phone for making and recieving internet calls, and they are pretty damn cheap, worth taking a look me thinks.

How do you set your phone up to do that? I have signed up for an account but don't see the instructions to set it up to my mobile!
edit; ignore that, found it under the 'settings' page on my sipgate account! Will give it a go and report back :)

On my HTC One X, when I select a contact to call, it gives me the option of using the normal dialer, or Skype. So it can be integrated with phone, at least on mine it does.
What handset do you have? Perhaps it's an OS revision thing, I'm on 4.0.

Hopefully you had more luck then me on my first attempt.
I couldn't get it to work first time I tried because I forgot to set the 'Outgoing proxy address' and 'Port number'
Is working fine now though
