Hi Andrew, It's been a couple of years since I used an Internet dongle, but I know that at the time some providers didn't include Voice Over IP on all tariffs, meaning that Skype won't always work. Certainly T Mobile didn't include it on their basic mobile broadband tariff, but you could pay extra in order to use it. If Voice Over IP is included, and assuming your friend can receive a 3G service, then there's no reason why Skype shouldn't work. Obviously your friend will want to make sure they have a data plan that meets their needs in terms of any caps etc. Cheers, Ed -----Original Message----- From: access-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew Summers Sent: 24 May 2013 08:57 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] internet dongles & skype Hello All, Please can you help.
