From 3 on Pay As You Go in the UK for £39.99

Free skype calls and chats "forever" (no top-ups required)

Extra notes:
- I've had the phone reset itself twice so far
- Takes about 25 seconds to start up, quick to turn off
- I have not, so far, found a way for the phone to remember your skype password IF YOU SIGN OUT (If you never sign out it will remember it even when turned off and on)
- Yes Skype really is completely free & so is msn too apparently
- Using the mobile as a regular phone: FREE 3 to 3 calls (ie calling other 3 mobiles).. all other calls 20p per minute.
- With 3 Every Pay As You Go top up gives you loads of free text messages..ive yet to spend any money on texts!

Filmed using a Sony Xacti camera, apologies for the lens focus sounds

If you have any thoughts on how to improve future reviews I'd be happy to read reasonable suggestions


Thanks!

[kolipolov]

It's 20p for landlines and mobiles

EXCEPT its free for calls between 3 mobiles in the same country, of course

[MrJaunius]

how do u find out your own number on that phone

[threesim]

To all 3 users in the UK - If you have one of the Skype phones and havent upgraded the Skype you may be getting a text from 3 mobile soon stating that "from the 4/04/2011 Skype will no longer work on your phone and you will need a new phone that skype is compatible with". If your using the newer versions of Skype you should be ok for the moment :-(

With the 3 network you need to get a BOLTON think its about 5 or 7 quid - cant remember - but that gives you unlimited skype and browsing.ok

[itsmepaul57]

To get Opera Mini just search fro it in your skype phone in the google search window you will get directed to the download link easy ...
