The page just tells you general stuff common to most mobile and landline networks and probably only exists as a vehicle for the adverts. (I suppose I could say the same about much the WWW, but you get my drift) AFAIK incoming Skype calls follow the same rules when diverting to voicemail as normal calls to the 3 number. If you want the ability to stop calls going to voicemail completely you need to call 3 support. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

But what about loggin off from Skype (Skype / Contacts / Options / Sign out) on the S2; then maybe incoming Skype calls shouldn't be diverted to Three's voicemail? I can't experiment 'cos I've never actually successfully received an incoming Skype call on my S2 anyway. This featured simply does not work for me. CJB

I can't experiment 'cos I've never actually successfully received an incoming Skype call on my S2 anyway. This featured simply does not work for me. What do you hear when you make a call to the S2 from a different Skype account? Come to think of it I was presently surprised that I could receive incoming Skype calls on the S2, I don't recall ever seeing that in any "3" literature, only references to *making* calls. I hope it hasn't been knobbled in ver. BREW 3.81.0.0, looking round the forums etc. I can find no evidence that they have. When I call the phone for the first time for a while, I get a long silence before it rings. Subsequent calls connect instantly. Is as if the system establishes and remembers a path to the phone. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

Can a different ring tone be set up on the S2 for Skype calls? Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276 |
