One thing to bear in mind ;

Skype is free to use over the 3 network for Skype to Skype calls

Other networks, it come out your data allowance or free to use over Wifi

I use it on 3 with a 3 provided phone, on some 3 phones Skype, closes when you minmise it, which means Skype users can ring you only when Skype is open, not ideal

On some 3 phones Skype runs in the background when minimised, if you go with 3, ensure Skype runs when minimised
