My Skype Out works fine. I have no need for inserting pauses into any of my contacts' numbers. I call into a conference bridge where a pause could be "easier" but the basic functionality of "outbound calling" works perfectly for me.

Why would the future of Skype on mobile devices rest predominantly on the ability to have pauses work within contacts? One would think that effectively getting unlimited minutes on their regular plan, for an additional $3/mo would be more of a deciding factor.
