It seems that Three are intending extending the free Skype - Skype calls for life even to unlocked 3G phones that weren't even bought from them.

And the card itself is free; in fact they issue you with two:

The gotcha might be that you have to pay for the very first top up for it to get activated. (Credit has to be used within 90 days, but the free Mobile Skype continues for life.)

Obviously they are hoping that once they get their SIM into your 3G moby you will appreciate that you can do better or your voice calls and SMS too. And, there's always the inertia factor that people won't be inclined to swap cards - a bet on human laziness seems a cert! Cue for one of those far-eastern squeeze two SIMs into one slot gismos?

Anyway out comes the dusty (Three locked) smartphone that I was intending to flog (It's on their compatibility list). Will also try the service with non-three phones, and I'll let you now how I get on with.

I ordered a couple of those sim cards a few weeks ago, i ended up giving them away because the phone numbers were no good to me. I`m after easy to remember ones because you get good money for them on That online auction site that is in no way as good as Free Bedlington.co.uk Classifieds :D

You don`t always hit on lucky though, i`ve got 200 o2 sims and not one of them any good, infact they`ll probably be out of date now.

Still, some folk would find those skype cards usefull i suppose and it`s alright for free.
