shari skype mobile needs wifi.. it cant connect call using just a 3g connection.. however if you have a jailbroken iphone and have the 3g unrestrictor app you will be able to connect calls using your 3g connection
Are you sure?? I talked to Pavy yesterday without wifi - just 3G. And I've talked many other times to people with my wifi shut off since I never leave it on. I know this because as I went from store to store the damn wifi msg kept popping up asking me if I wanted to connect.

i am in the US using AT&T and have a 3g plan.. i've tried to call using just 3g but it wont work..it say its unsupported and needs wifi to make calls (something like that)..
but when i had the 3g unrestrictor and used it i was able to call on skype..

Well, I'm in Australia but my carrier is Optus and I'm on a 3G plan too. I'm on an iphone and I definitely didn't get a 3G unrestrictor or anything like that for my phone since this is the first time I even heard they existed.
And I'm currently in a hotel/apartment thing and I need a password/username to hook up to the hotel's wifi which I finally got yesterday but I haven't enabled it on my phone. That's why I'm still constantly getting the pop ups asking me if I want to connect. But I talked to Pavy fine yesterday through Skype on my phone.
Maybe it's just a carrier issue or it's networked differently down here. How strange.

They try to sting you other ways ie me calling your mobile or home phone from skype when you're not online. You pay for those calls and they offer cheap rates so they hope you'll use them instead of your regular long distance provider. Plus you can buy a skype phone number and a 1 800 number. JJ knows about all of that stuff better than I do since I just stick with the free calling and chatting.
So best to use when both parties are online. Maybe I'll get it and bug you and JJ, interrupt your lovefest.
