I’m having a couple of problems with Skype on my new Nokia 2730
connected to Three PAYG. Is anyone using this combination
successfully?

1) I cannot find how to persuade Skype to start up and connect when
the phone is switched on.
2) I can start the Skype application manually but, an hour or so after
minimising the application it drops the connection with Skype and I
cannot then receive any incoming Skype calls. There is nothing on the
home screen to say if Skype is connected or not which doesn't help.

Am I doing something stupid or is this how the Nokia works. (I’m
moving from a S2 Skypephone, mainly for the Nokia calendar functions,
so I’m used to Skype just being there and working whenever the phone
is switched on.)

Thanks
OJ

Different 3 Skype phones have different applications, i wasn't pleased
when Three forced a Skype application upgrade for the S2, but now
i'm used to it i appreciate the improvement.

If you do get your Skype Nokia app to work regularly, something to
play with is Free Ring2Skype which gives you a landline number and
3 digit extension for people to dial to get to your Skype

http://www.ring2skype.com/

They have two UK STDs, London and Manchester, so if you wanted
you could use it to fool people in to thinking you are in those places.
Or hundreds of places abroad

Looks as a great idea, but it does not work, at least not for me for several
hours since I subscribed ( and got a Prague number). I am getting "we can
not
connect your call right now please try later" whether I have Skypephone S2
connected to Skype at the same time as PC Skype, or I log S2 off -:(
