I have an unlocked Nokia 6124, which is a Vodafone badged version of
the 6120. For two weeks I have been running Skype with a 3 Mobile pay
as you go sim card in it. Suddenly last weekend the skype stopped
signing in. Every time I try to start skype, it just stays on the
signing in screen with the bar moving but never actually finishes the
process. On one occasion I left it trying for a couple of hours but
when I got back to it, the handset was quite warm and the newly
recharged battery was down to less than half charge.
The guy on the 3 help line said it is not a fault on their system and
as I didn't buy the handset from them he couldn't help me further.
I tried re-installing Skype twice, but the problem is still there.
Internet browsing works fine, as does Windows Live Messenger.
