Hello,
I am developing a web application where people can order various items from shops around the world. When an order is placed, the text is converted into speech and I use Skype to call the shop over the phone and read out the text. So far this is working perfectly.

The problem is it takes around 30 seconds for each call to be made. It takes around 10 seconds for a person to pick up the phone, 10 seconds for the message to be read out, and then another 10 seconds for the person to hang up the phone.
Obviously this becomes a problem when you have 100 orders/minute. So I was wondering if it’s possible to make simultaneous calls with the same Skype account. I have tried and got the error message that I cannot do this. Is there some command or hack which would enable me to do this?

Hoping for a possible solution,
Csaba

You can not have more than one call in progress at the same time. Either you can make a conference call, which I guess is not suitable in your case. Or you would have to put one call on hold in order to make a new call, which is also not a solution. So, currently I don't see that what you are asking for would be possible with the API we have.
