Hey guys, i just got my new phone from virgin, i have put skype on it but for some reason i cannot sign into skype using the 3G connection, works fine on my wifi, am i doing something wrong ?
VOIP is blocked on most mobile networks (I think that O2 and 3 allow it as well as some plans on those that do block it) as VM use t-mobile and orange networks Skype and other voips are blocked.. No idea if they do a data plan where it is allowed?

It's not an issue of network, there are no network-wide blocks. Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone all allow it if you're on the right package. VM - I don't know if they have a "right package".

Three let you use Skype calls and if you have a data quota with them, Skype calls do not count towards it at all.
have been looking over the main forum, and some people seem to be able to use it no problem, one of VM staff tried it on 2 different phones, one was a HTC wildfire or something, cant remember what the other was, but only one of them would work with skype, kinda strange.
I oovoo works, its not skype, but i guess it will have to do for now :S
