Good question Dave would like to know the answer to.:thumb:
Also how much credit does surfing use up, say for an hour:Blush:

Yes Skype works fine from a netbook, but Skype with video is very hungry and will eat the merger allowance of say a mobile internet dongle. I am on Vodafone's 1 GB/£15 and will not entertain Skyping with that. Skype use to give you a readout of actual data rate but I now cant find that facility so cant be specific.

Have you tried without the video link just the voice does it still use eat your download allowance?

Skype works fine on our netbook.

However, Skype with video will eat up your allowance but with voice only, it is not a big problem.

No but b2tuscan has an answer.

For voice in the UK we simply use our 3mobile with its free Skype voice/chat, another excellent cost saving option and one not needing a WiFi link.
