    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem signing into Skype on this phone? I got it on Friday and worked grand til Saturday and since then havent been able to sign in. I topped up this morning for the first time, but it hasnt helped. I'm just getting a message saying " Currently unable to connect"

    its slightly annoying

    Having similar trouble myself, going on my 3rd trip in 4 days to the 3 shop to sort it out...thinking of throwing in the towel as regards 3 - it's been problem after problem since i bought the phone on sunday and the same for my boyfriend.

    my mom bought the fone a month ago and the skype is generally down during bad weather :mad:
    and for some reason it wont connect till u take out the battery for 5 - 10 sec :confused:
    dont know why but it works most times :eek:

    Just as the last post said, if you pull the battery off the back for a few mins that sorts it. Also re seat the sim just in case.

    The service seems a bit erratic.. Its great when it works but not enjoying the hassle on Skype at times. That said I haven't get the Unable to connect message since I got it working on Monday, but I have had to take the battery out again as it just wasnt signing in..

    My girlfriend is having the same problems tho..
    She rang three and they told her she had to top up. Apparently she had bought the phone in August.. 3 months before it was even released and she hadnt topped up, even tho she had just topped up at the beginnning of January

    All very strange

    I can confirm that removing the battery for a few seconds when you can't log in usually seems to resolve the issue for some unknown reason.

    Yeah, I'm having problems at the moment signing and getting the same network error of being unable to connect. Its that or it goes past signing in and then synchronises for about half an hour and nothing happens. Its interesting though that Iskoot on my p990i will work fine on the three network without the signin trouble. I'm starting to wonder is this a capacity or licensing issue - I would assume three have bought a certain amount of capacity from iskoot and they've sold more handsets than their current licensed setup can handle.

    Hmm I may have been wrong. My pervious skype password was quite long so I shortened it a bit. Skype signed in straight away. Thinking this was a fluke I switched it back to the original. Skype refused to sign in. Back to shortened password - skype worked flawlessly.

    Hmm the mind boggles.
