Chris, I would appreciate it if you would do the following tests and let me know the results. Call the "Skype Call Testing Service" on 'echo123' After the beep, *briefly* press 1 2 3 on the keypad. Do you hear the three DTMF tones played back to you? Then repeat the above, but this time hold the keys down for about a second each. Do you hear more than three DTMF tones, consistent with the keys repeating like typing on a PC keyboard? Thanks. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

You pay �1.95 admin charge when ordering online. Skype works and is free on both PAYG and contract. divoch

When I press for a short time I get a short tone. When I press longer I get a longer tone. There does not seem to be a key repeat effect. BUT pressing 1 2 3 I get three tones - all at roughly the same pitch. Mind you on the S2 the sound is very distorted - and normal speach difficult to hear. But on the PC it is as clear as a bell.

Having the digit repeat if the key is held down is not helpful to anyone. -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
