Myself and the OH need new phones, but the market seems to have expolded since I last took out a contract and now I am very very confused indeed!

I am not a high mobile user anymore, few texts a day. Most talktime is either to the OH or to friends in Europe. The double SKYPEphone PAYG deal with 3 for a seems like a good idea... is it?

Can you use it to call non-skype phones?
What is the PAYG top up for if SKYPEing is free?
Are they really so handy that you can use them as dongles too?

Hope someone can help! Thanks!

    When you top up by £10 it goes you 90 days Skype access.

    Making some attempt to be readable would help.

    As Ricardodaforce says, when you top up you get 90 days of Skype, so to get free Skype you would need to top up regularly. If you only make the occasional call and text you would find your credit building up. Which you could save for future use.

    It is obviously yourself that is having reading problems.

    As you typed:eek: your reply you should have seen the box immediately above the message box marked POSTING TIPS and coloured red which clearly states
