Android user's on the 3 network.

Hi everyone I'm doing a review on Android handsets and how they are taking to the 3 network.

As Iv spotted there are quite a few people here with Android handset's can I ask you all can you access the "Service's" option on Planet 3?

To break down what I have regarding this issue is that that when you go to the Planet 3 home the your actually redirected to a page (not too unlikeif not the same as the one when you are outside of 3G coverage) and you don't have access to the service's.
If you go to the My3 option, (or click the check my usage) option you can then see it but when you click it you dont get to the correct page.

So making it impossable to download the likes of skype, MSN etc.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have Planet 3 bookmarked on my Nexus. It accesses it the same as my other non-android phones. Only difference is it has to be accessed via 3G,it won't work via WIFI.

"Sorry but Skype is not available on your handset. We're introducing Skype onto a range of handsets as quickly as we can,so check back here soon."

MSN Messenger is the same.

Humm...
From what I am seeing is that now Different android device's can and cant access it.

Thanks Lord.

Anyone else care to try??

I tried it with the HTC desire but I don't have the rights to connect to my three since I'm a business customer.

So no skype for me either...

Fringe works as a Skype client which can be downloaded in Android marketplace if that's any help. Works on WiFi too

Thanks but the benifit is that there is no charge for sing skype as a 3 customer

I presume it's because they don't have android apps for Skype , MSN etc ? The ads for the Spica don't mention Skype as a feature.

mooneyd · 09-05-2010 1:24pm

Yes iv spotted that. It was more seeing whats not available from planet 3 for android

MSN Messenger is the same.

MSN Droid is messenger. Search for it.

Skype for Android only works on Verizon's network(US)

Android user's on the 3 network.
