thx for replying. i tried 3netaccess but it did not work for me. i put in 3services. i can connect and access Planet 3 from my browser but not skype. you see. my old E71 can access Planet 3. you can download a prebuilt skype client from Planet 3 which you can only use that skype to im and call to anyone has skype on computer but not any mobile or landline number. the prebuilt version inside n900, you can buy skype credit with it once when you connected with wifi. i guess three.com.au trying stop everyone using anything other than give them the bussiness if you see what i mean
