Skype for SIP

I checked Q & A and know that Voicent does not fully support skype v4.1. however, I cannot use skype v3.8 because my OS is not compatible with the old version of Skype. When are you planning to support Skype 4.1 officially?

Whenever Skype for SIP is out of beta.

SIP is the standard for Voice of IP (VOIP). Nowadays, almost all VOIP services use SIP. The only notable exception is Skype, which uses its own proprietary technology. The good news is that Skype is going to fully support SIP soon, and the Skype for SIP program is currently in beta.

Once Skype supports SIP, you can use your Skype SIP credential (your skype SIP user name and password) to configure Voicent to use Skype directly – meaning Voicent software can make and receive phone calls throught the Skype network without running any Skype instance. So regardless of the Skype version (whether 3.8 or 4.1 or later), you should be able to use Voicent through Skype SIP. And since the current Voicent release already supports SIP, there is no need to change Voicent software when Skype for SIP is ready.
