you can't use the free features as far as i know because you need the skype app that's preloaded on to the three.ie phone.

you'll need to have a data bundle bought from three.ie to available of it. of course all internet browsing within three.ie's walled garden is free but that's pretty rubbish in fairness.

I'm going to try this tomorrow if I get a chance and let you know how I get on, It will be interesting to see if it uses data or is free http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/skype/how-to-use-skype-over-3g-on-iphone.asp

theres a much easier way, download skype iphone, download 3grestrictor app, google for repo, thats it, run 3grestrictor, it'll ask what app you want to make 3g, click skype,
now you can run skype over 3g, still uses your data so be careful
