Skype link to echo123

I'm trying to insert a link in a html page such that when you click it, skype calls "echo test service". Does "callto://echo123" work on all browser and almost operating system? Could I show a nice error if there isn't skype installed? I've read about skypedetection in js but it disappeared from skype site...

You would be better to use the Skype URI Scheme (Skype:echo123?call) this works on mac on windows, I don't have Linux to check it but it should work here to. callto:// is a generic handler used by many voip calling software where as Skype uri will only work with the Skype client.

Note that support for this scheme is limited on mobile platforms.
