Mobile broadband and Skype

Anyone able to recommend a provider of mobile broadband that you can also use Skype with? I currently use T Mobile, but have been told that the ports that Skype uses are blocked on all but Web N Walk Max, a package that no longer seems to exist :)

  • Unfortunately not, using a latop, and occassionally a desktop :) Not that that makes much difference.

    just looked 3 does free skype for mobile broadband. You have to use 3's version of skype, same login details as normal skype but runs through their network rather than skype so you don't get charged
