Again, I've never had Skype crash when getting an incoming call on my actual
cell number. What I however do! notice is the person I'm talking to on
Skype will immediately with no warning be placed on hold, and my regular
phone app will begin ringing. If I decline the call, the person I was
talking to on Skype will be taken off of hold, and I'll be back on the line
with them. Otherwise, I can answer the call, leaving the other person on
hold, then when done, I can hang up, and be taken back to my Skype call. I
never have had Skype just up and out crash though. I think it may have done
so one time in the whole time I've had my IPhone which was August of 2011,
and that wasn't even due to those circumstances. I do however think that
with a lot of these voice chat aps, weather it be Skype, Media5 Sip phone,
or whatever, there needs to be a way somehow to detect if you're in an
active call, either simply give you a notification where you can elect to
answer, or just go on about your call already in progress, or if nothing
else, forward the other call directly to your voicemail. I'm thinking,
seeing that it's not just Skype that has this issue, it's probably a
limitation of the IPhone I O S firmware. Things probably have been locked
down by Apple in such of a way that devs don't have the option of including
that feature, even if they wanted to. I almost wonder if a jailbreak may
allow you to fix that issue. Don't even get me started though on the
philosaphy of Jailbreaking. On the one hand, I see it as being extremely
useful, and I can't say that I never've done it, as for a while, I'll admit,
I was! jailbroken, but I just didn't find I was really getting much out of
it. Plus, you stand a chance if Apple ever finds out, then, there went your
warranty out the window.
I guess it just depends on your perspective. Me personally, I choose not to
jailbreak, but having said that, I never said it's necessarily a bad thing
to do.
Anyway, I'm veering off topic, but the point I'm ultimately trying to make
here is to say, I've never experienced the crashing like you have, Mark.
I've definitely had Skype do some really annoying things, but that isn't one
of them.
LOL!
Chris.

Hmmm. I shall look to make sure the next time it happens, but I have not
noted a Slide to *answer* specifically. Although, today, while doing a
Skype video tour of my town for my friend in Montana, I got a cell phone
call and found out that getting a cell call on your iPhone 5 while on a
skype call crashes Skype! *grin*
