When I initiated installation from 3 website I had SMS from 3 which said "
......if you do not have 3 mobile click here
http://ghp.three.co.uk/email/skype/home " and that is what I did. It was
downloading, download bar was progressing nicely but just near the end it
came with the error message. Later I even got another SMS "Welcome to Skype
on 3..." -:(

K810i had a dual function, it was OVP Virgin in UK but had Czech SIM in
Czech republic. I have transferred OVP Virgin number to 3 PAYG but I still
need something decent, unlocked, for my Czech SIM. I would be buying new SE
just for SIM Zero occasional use which seems a little extravagant.

I think it will be dedicated only to Windows Messenger. The source looks the
same though.
