About Us

iSkoot began in 2005 with the simple premise that the services we use to stay connected would be even better if they worked on the mobile phones we carry around for the express purpose of, well… staying connected.

And not just on some mobile phones. And not just over WiFi or 3G. And not in a way that degrades the overall performance of the network. Making Internet services work on mobile phones means:

  • making them work for everyone
  • on the handsets most people use today
  • over wireless networks most people can access
  • in partnership with the mobile operators who built the network in the first place

We began with the best internet calling service we knew, releasing iSkoot for Skype in early 2006, and in 2007 we had the opportunity to work with Skype to develop software for the 3 Skypephone.

Since then we’ve been busy mobilizing other Internet services, like top social networks, consumer email and IM. In early 2009 AT&T tapped iSkoot to develop AT&T Social Net - a free mobile app that combines access to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and customizable news feeds within a single application. We followed up the July launch of AT&T Social Net with Social Beat, an application for Verizon users that offers social networks and news feeds as well as Gmail and Google Talk. In January 2010, iSkoot partnered with T-Mobile to preload the Social Networks application on the new T-Mobile Tap device.

What makes it all work is iSkoot’s Kalaida™ Platform — a unique architecture that moves data-intensive tasks off of the phone and onto a smarter network that can pick up the slack.
