i am using bepe's rom and install the skype 2.2.0.18,which can making calls on wm6,is works perfect,and i made a half hour call to my friend with HSDPA,voice is very clear and few lag.

The problem is, i am using AUS 3 telecom. for the internet i have to pay $20 to get 500MB /month. At the same time they give me "1000 minutes Skype time", it is said Nokia Build-in-Skype users can make 1000 minutes skype call for free, and absolute useless for our wm handset users(the instruction for the trinity shows "skype unsupported")

that is OK, we know the skype software only use internet, no matter it is wifi or usb or 3G or GPRS, i have got 500MB internet now, and i can install the skype myself.

Guess what, after login skype using the HSDPA, i check my mobile account details and find out my Skype free time start to count down!!! even worse, it start to count down when i just login without taking to anyone. first time i didn't know it and login it for a whole night and make my 200 minutes Skype time gone! once the skype 1000 free time is used out, i have to pay more money per minutes for using skype. the free time is a "gift" to nokia users, but become a "limit" to our wm users.

i made phone call to custom care and thay have no idea what i am complaining, they even can't find a person who know what the system is. They just like ~~the microsoft help, gave me no answere i want, but repeat what i already know for many times and say sorry to me at last.

My question is, skype is just a IM software,the same to MSN,ICQ ect., how the 3 telecom find out when i start using the skype on my mobile? does Skype send some special signal to operaors when it starts to run? how to make the skype "only use" the internet,which can stop my "1000 minutes Skype time" counting down? how to solve the triky problem i meet now?

my English is poor ,cost me 2 hours to type this, looking for someone may tell me anything helpful.

very big thx!

I think that when you logging to skype they will inform your operator about your uptime.

I'm not sure if this is what happen because I don't use skype, and I don't know if I fully understood what ur meaning:rolleyes:

Thanks a lot for your replay.

i tried to use the internet AP(which my mobile can get a worldwide IP to surf internet directly), and the time stop counting down

it seems they use a firewall software to filte all my connections in mobile local network. once i connect to skype server, they will start to count down my time.

silly.
