So, is this what VICaR does? Or is there a simpler method that I am missing??

thanks.
You don't need to login to skype (on the phone) and you don't need to register the phone numbers you want to call.

I don't know if Skype decided to change the name from "skype out" to "skype to go" or if we are using the wrong name since the beginning. They are the same thing.

To prepare your skype account you need go to the skype web site and login. Then you can go to the skype to go tab and enable it. After selecting your location you will be told which number to call (1) to start calls. You also need to register the phone numbers that you are going to be calling FROM (not to), set your pin and you are good to go.

You can then place calls using VICaR, Mycontacts and or manually by calling the phone number (have a go manually if you have any doubts about the process).
