Low rates on Skype-enabled 3 mobiles in the UK and Ireland

By My status Peter Parkes on September 30, 2008 in Skype announcements.

3 Skypephone box As I posted on the main blog a few moments ago – and as you may have heard – something groundbreaking’s happening in the land of 3.

A software update being pushed to handsets in the UK and Ireland from tomorrow will let you call landlines and mobiles abroad using Skype’s paid-for services from your 3 Skypephone or Skype-enabled 3 mobile. 3 Skypephone users – both S1 and S2 – along with people using Skype on 3 mobiles will be able to take advantage of Skype’s low rates to stay in touch with non Skype users around the world.

Now you’ll have no excuse not to get in touch with your friends, relatives and colleagues, even if they’re on a beach in Sydney or a hotel in Rome :)

This is fantastic news and I'm really excited about this software update. I have a few questions:

1. Do you know when I will get the software update on my Skypephone S1? I have tried manually updating Skype (Menu > Games & Apps > My applications > Skype > Check upgrade) but it says I'm running the most recent version.

2. Will it update over-the-air or will I need to connect it to my PC to get this update?

3. Can I call UK landlines and mobiles with my SkypeOut credit, or can I only call phones overseas?

I hope you are able to get back to me with some answers, great work with the Skype blog!
