I myself would recommend this one for other tech or non-tech people.

Let’s take your example:

exten => 563,1,Dial(SIP/skype_joeschmo@proxy01.sipphone.com)

Create a new custom extension, give it extension number 563, put the string SIP/skype_joeschmo@proxy01.sipphone.com in the dial textbox. Or perhaps better yet, try SIP/joeschmo@opensky.gizmo5.com, which is the method recommended in Tom Keating’s blog.

[WM: Please excuse our old-fashioned ways of doing things. 🙂 Not everyone with Asterisk has a newer version of FreePBX that supports custom extensions. But either way works great! Thanks. Using Tom’s recommended domain for Skype calls looks like it may only work for the free 5-minute calls since it doesn’t appear to require registration. Doesn’t work at the moment either. They’re apparently swamped with calls.]
