I have a Vario II and I asked the guy at T-mobile (business team1) can I use
the phone with SKYPE mobile? Answer Yes, I downloaded it and it worked fine
first time. Only thing is that conversations are not really private as it
goes on load speaker, (maybe there is another way?)
Anyway had to ring mate in Japan on Sunday whilst out an about, I went on
SKYPE via Vario II and it worked perfect, in fact like on a PC it was
clearer quality than a normal phone call. I presume it needs 3G not GPRS to
work SKYPE ?
Re T-mobile if they terminate contracts for using SKYPE I will ring them and
own up "anything to get me away from them" LOL!
I think it will be a case of "see what happens" from T-mob and the others
and if they get a big drop in calls made then they will change it.
