Tried it from the phone and from the PC. I get "This service is unavailable" (or similar). It never appears to become available. Maybe I need to do a proper top-up first? regards, Ian

Mine didn't - and I paid real money for mine. Maybe there's a difference? -- Cheers, Roger ______ Email address maintained for newsgroup use only, and not regularly monitored..

From: CJB on 2 Jan 2010 19:14 I can't receive incoming calls on Skype. And when I tried to call my brother in the Netherlands the connection kept dropping out / disconnecting. I tried Skype to Skype (my S2 to his non-Three mobile running Skype) - three disconnects - but at least the re-connections were free. Then we tried Skype on my S2 to my Skye Out account (with loads of credit) to his mobile no. - again loads of drop outs, and each re- connection cost me some Skype credit (actually £3 in all). Luckily Three doesn't charge for these re-connections - if it did my S2 would end up in the bin. He then tried calling my Skype id (as running on my S2) with his non- Three mobile running Skype - but nothing at all, zero, zilch, sfa. In view of all the problems with the S2, Three and Skype I am making a case - currently 4 pages long - of issues with this network, as reported on the various 3G and Skype forums and these newsgroups, including an accusation of blatant false advertising by Three. Additionally a complaint will be made about their rip-off pricing of 20p per minute to UK landlines etc. This will go to Ofcom, my local Trading Standards Office, and the Advertising Standards Authority.
