My S2 is fine, what model(s) are yours? Seems very odd all three playing up. Are the Skype accounts OK, have you tried them in a Skype application on a PC? It's difficult to know what to advice on the info given. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

Then the S2 hags, and it is an effort to try and switch if off and on again to rebbot it. And also it wont create a new Skype text: If I go to Messages / New / Skype Chat / ! No Content to Display / OK - this always fails. Or If I go to Skype / Contacts - pick a Contact (but sometimes not all are listed) / Options / Start Chat - this sometimes works. Or I go to Skype / Chats / Options / Start New Chat / pick a Contact (but few FContacts are listed - sometimes none) / Mark / Done - this sometimes works. Skype is very unreliable. And whenever I reboot the S2 at the very beginning Skype states that a message is waiting - but there never is one. CJB

Marketed here as the 3 Skypephone S2. It has an special out-of the box Skype application that (somehow) connects to Skype indirectly via 3 infrastructure so does not use you data allocation. In fact you can make and recieve Skype to Skype calls without any 3 credit. -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

The one here still has 2.9.12 that was on it from new, but I have heard of BREW 3.80.0.2 being deployed over the air as an update you are forced to accept. I haven't heard anything negative about this version apart from the ability to manually refresh the list of contacts has gone. (Ian Smith posting here) -- Graham. %Profound_observation%

No, they are sold as PAYG. You probebly remember the poster campagn slogan, "Free Skype calls forever" and wondered (as I did), "What's the catch?" -- Graham. %Profound_observation% |
