Although officially this isn’t a feature it works. It does take a while longer to start ringing than on your PC however. Also, the Skype on Three client blocks out SkypeOut numbers you may have in your contacts. But sometimes it misses some. While it missed my friends mobile number I clicked it and dialled out through Skype to her mobile. I wasn’t charged by Three for the call, while the call listed on my Skype billing and came off my Skype balance. Proving SkypeOut will work when Three stop blocking it. All in all, very kewl!!! One problem though, my Nokia N73 battery only lasts 2 days with moderate email/txt use and few calls. Can anyone tell me if that’s normal? Maybe leaving Skype running drains the battery more??

USA to Hong Kong or UK: No the costs would be the same as ringing the UK (so no advantage). However, if the USA person was on computer-based Skype or used another Skype client that could use a WiFi connection this would work. @Mark:

I am looking at getting a couple of Three Nokia E65 phones (one for me and the girlfriend). We frequently travel between the USA, Hong Kong and the UK. Will it be possible to make skype calls between our Three phones if one is in the USA say and the other is in the UK or any other of the possible country to country possibilities that I have listed? This is probably an easy question for you to answer so please excuse my niavity about Skype! Thanks, Mark Hi Folks,

I'm using the same username as my PC but I'm thinking of changing this to username_mob or similar. That way I can change the settings on my PC to forward the calls to a skypeout number. I just call my normal username on skype and presto... I can call any number in the world :-) Has anyone tried this? I have been using skype on my Nokia E65 and it works great.

Sometimes the Three Skype application blocks Skypeout numbers. They just don't appear on the user interface ... at other times these are listed and, when called, work seamlessly at normal Skype charge rates (very inexpensive). Inbound calls always seem to be announced as 'Skype Service', rather than showing the name of the caller. However, as you would expect, calls from all over the world are crystal clear. Great facility. Skypeout service on my Nokia E65 seems hit or miss. Sometimes the Three Skype application blocks Skypeout numbers.
