Skype from a Three handset does not use VOIP over the data aspect of the 3G network. The skype client is customised to make a phone call to a dedicated number provided by Three, effectively a proxy.

I live miles from any 3G coverage but can use Skype on my S2 handset. The call register on the phone reports an 07838 333nnn number for incoming calls described as "IM call". The delay when talking to another S2 user (just for testing purposes as one would normally use 3-to-3 calls) can be disconcerting. -- JonPhred

I wrote all about it in <news:6cn*lqs+s(a)news.chiark.greenend.org.uk>. Since Google is being broken and not finding that, you can also find it here: http://www.markettos.org.uk/telecoms/three-skype-iskoot.txt (what I don't mention is the basics... essentially the client uses the data channel to tell the Three/iSkoot server what to do with the other end of the call, then initiates a GSM voice call to a number supplied in the packet exchange. I now have iSkoot working on Android x86 but, having no radio, I don't have a voice channel for it to call out. Which happened to be the whole motivation for this thread :) Theo
