Dont know about that you would need to look it up the skype phones dont use a data link its a voice call and sms they use a different system to get the single to three who then turn it into a skypevoip call.

Surely the skype phone will only work if you get an internet connection from 3? Which 3 will charge a monthly fee for?

Well 3 do like their gimmicks i guess they working on the fact most people will want to use the phone as a normal phone or use data as well as for the skype function. Like most people get the free mins, phones etc they count on you spending above the minimum to make money. Thats why when going to renew your contract if you didn't spend any more than your monthly line rental most times they will not offer you a great deal to stay. In some cases they almost push you away It does not use the internet of it does now you dont need an internet connection.

I got 1 free sim.

I am dreaming to own Nokia N97 which is really the most fabulous but it cost 35 £ in 18 mos. Still thinking if that is luxury or necessity This will be my first bill ever in the UK
The special skype function on a mobile will not work in phill, only in countries where 3 mobile are (hong kong is one i belive, along with italy, austrailia)

Again thats how they will make there money tempting people and then selling them something.
