Skype phone on 3 costs nothing a month!

[somebody]

Unless its changed the skpye that three offer for free is sent via normal voice circuit switched gsm so does not require you to use the internet i belive.

Well thats what i was led to belive when it first came out.

Basically the voice calls are a normal phone call and the msgs are sent as text messages.

Then at 3 they are converted into the skype you know and love and viceversa for incoming calls and messages.

The software is iskoot which on the skpyephones you see a splash screen for

I repeat we are using two orignal 3 skype phones with no credit on them what so ever and getting skype voice and msgs in and out.

We would need to pay extra for normal everyday gsm voice, sms data etc, which we dont intend to do

Elsa and Ping have already had about 3 hours of conversation via Skype in just 4 days on our LG phone. What the heck do they chat about I'll never know.

I notice 3 are sending loads of promo text messages - one of them even offered £10 if you port your mobile number over to them, seems like a good idea - Skype/Windows messenger and mobile phone all in one. In fact 3 seem to have the best signal of the lot where I am (though only 3g will work in Aberystwyth 5 miles away)

Skype on 3 uses normal voice cicuit switched gsm as you say.

Dont sound to bad and hopefully saving you loads especially if you call people who have skype abroad. Over the years the Wife must have saved a small fortune although still uses normal gsm mobile and calling card credit as many dont have skype access at all or she needs to call them when they are out and about on their mobiles.


With the TV channels they stream you would think they would target the large markets such as pinoys, indians and chinese with streammed shows to their mobiles. Even if they charge 5 or 10 pounds a month far cheaper than many of the other methods avaiable either in equipment pc/broadband link or satalite dish and contract..

Today after the Wifes Citzenship do, we wondered round town and the local exchange shop its noticeable all the 3 mobiles apart from im guessing the cheaper non compatiable ones were just not there. Loads of Vodafone,02,orange, virgin even tescos and of course unlocked ones. From the flash to the basic versions. A few months ago there would be tens of them as three PAYG I understand use to be hard to get unlocked...
