Skype only allow you to open skype application on your device, if its not installed it opens itunes page for it to download. Oterwise there is no such API available for it.

- (IBAction)skypeMe:(id)sender
{
    BOOL installed = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"skype:"]];
    if(installed)
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"skype:echo123?call"]];
    }
    else
    {
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://itunes.com/apps/skype/skype"]];
    }
}
