some times i dial my bank and the number looks like this (+1 555 666 7777 p1p3p34567) there are lodes of phone serveses i use where i enter in numbers after I call.

I cant use those numbers in skype out.

I understand the need for "pauses" for entering extensions, and navigating ACD trees, but why would Skype as a whole fail because of the absence of that feature? Just setup the Skype entry to not have the pauses/extensions, and read them off the Cellular entry before dialing. The majority of the dialing will be automated via Skype, and the subsequent digits will be readily visible prior to the call.

Besides, Skype is going to roll out "party line" video calls, which will allow up to 5 connections on a video call.
