Also on Rebtel UK mobile calls are 11p per min, might as well use an Asda / giffgaff, etc. sim If you buy some Skype PAYG credit you can call Europe and the US for 1.4p per min, but not UK numbers as the 3 Skype phone app will only allow international calls. (UK mobile would cost 16.6p per min anyway) So what's needed is a cheap callthrough to the UK with an European or US access number. Preferably not US because of the added delay to the US and back Any ideas? Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276

Not sure about the limitations from providers but I use Skype on WiFi connections. My Windows Mobile phone has a WiFi and I have Skype installed there and it works everytime. I also use another VoIP service from Onesuite using the same WiFI connection and it works all the time too. |
