Thanks for the post..

But carrying a laptop with you all the time to make calls is not very mobile.. I was searching for an unlimited 3G data plan in the UK, so i can use the 3G network for receiving/calling (international calls) through Skype mobile using my Mobile devide (i-mate JasJar, est) but i couldn't find any!

Is there any news on providing an unlimited 3G data plans so people can use Skype mobile freely anywhere, anytime?
I am a 3 customer and i have the 20MB 3G plan (Their maximum plan), and my bandwidth finishes just for signing on MSN a couple of times on a couple of days. I didn't even try using Skype Mobile yet!

I am looking for a UK provider with unlimited 3G data plan so i can use Skype Mobile freely, and make calls anytime, anywhere..

If anyone can help me with a company in the UK that offers unlimited plans (Other than T-Mobile because they don't allow any messaging programs like MSN nor Skype, and they are still picky about the limitation even when their plan is "unlimited") i would appreciate it..

Thanks and keep us posted,
