    Hi, i'll try answer some of your questions.

    1) No. The skype phone does not have wi-fi. It can only be used on the 3 network in Ireland, UK, Italy, Austria (and Australia??) [someone might want to verify them countries]. Skype doesn't work with roaming.

    2) It's just like using Skype from a PC but there is currently no skype out. So to ring mobiles and landlines you make a call as you would from any mobile phone.

    3) On 3Pay you have to top up by 10euro to get 30days free skype. You can spend that 10euro on phone calls, texts, etc. Not sure the exact details on bill pay.

    4) No. The phone doesn't have wifi.

    5) If you're travelling to the countries with 3 coverage then it might be worthwhile if you make alot of skype calls, otherwise I wouldn't think so.
