If you explain to the Cust Serv agent that you will also be using your
SIM card in your second phone (an N73) they will add the X-Series
add-on to your account. You won't get the additional software
downloads, but you will get the unlimited data aspect of the add-on.

The 3 implementation means that you have a standard voice-call at your
end of the Skype call -- and from the other 'end' of that call you hit
3's Skype servers and go into the Skype world of voice transmission.
This means that you can have a Skype call perfectly well while you are
in either 3G or 2.5G coverage.
