When you talk about downloading Skype you should know that the Skype
client used for free calls, on '3', is NOT the same as the standard
client used for Skype. Skype calls on '3' go via the '3' voice system and
NOT via the internet.

Indeed, not using 3's free Skype node will cost Skype at 3 data rates,
which can be covered by the 5quid per month internet add on, which will
also cover Wap and Broadband use

If Skype calls use the voice system then they can presumably be used
outwith 3G coverage when the voice system falls back to using 3's
national roaming partner's network. True?
