one more question,
if 2 mobiles have skype on them and the one making the skype to skype call (not skype to mobile using skype credit) is in a wifi area, does the other mobile have to be in a wifi area too? or will they be able to answer it anywhere?

To talk you have to both in wifi zone. To send instant message you need the normal phone cannection

yup buy the headset, i use it quite alot both when stuck overseas travelling and calling people overseas, what I find works well is having a little skypeout credit and making a quick call to someone (home phone or mobile) and getting them to turn on the computer and hop on skype.

=convienient, cheap as you only make about a 20 second paid for phone call costing a few pence then can chat for hours for free computer to computer

What if they're using 3G such as 3(Three).
Mobiles on the three network (including PAYG) that come with skype installed out of the box, can access the skype service free of charge through 3's network (no wifi needed). It has limitations..

e.g Skype to Skype is still free and unlimited. (The mobile with skype on can phone another skype user..)

You can only make international calls from it, no UK landlines.. even if you try +44 etc.

Skype will stay running in the background on your phone and will ring when you have a caller..

Check out the three website, all explained.
