I am using Three. At first I got two Three S1 Skypephones and was allegedly one of the first business customers to take up those phones. One handset was replaced under warranty for a basic Nokia (can't remember the model number) that offered Bluetooth and could run the Skype application. In both cases, AIUI you run the Skype client on your handset, which uses 3G/HSDPA data bandwidth to connect to Skype via a NAT router in Three's network. FWIW and IMO the S1 is rubbish. However some tell me that the S1 is part of the problem I have using Skype and that the S2 is considerably better. -- Geoff _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
