Also a small but important issue - when the S2 is called via Skype it
doesn't ring!!!! And so unless you're actually holding the thing - and
looking it at it - you have no other indication that there is an
incoming call.

My S2 rings OK (only when someone tries Skype chat I invariably miss that
and I am not sure if it even makes noise of some kind or not)
I am not sure about your 10p? Where is your S2? Calls from S2 to voicemail
are free
