Rep Power: 9  |  skype voice requires at least around 50 kbps steady bandwidth to function reasonably. Don't think that sort of bandwidth is possible with GRPS. |

Rep Power: 12 | If you have got unlimited gprs service why do you get charged for downloading? Any way if you use skype and have subscribed to unlimited gprs service with no data transfer limits then no you wont get charged anything extra.. On the other hand skype will not work very wekk and there will be massive lags while talking and thats if you have got edge service and without edge I very much doubt if your calls will even connect... Once 3g tariffs come down a bit then skype will work very well and without having to pay anything extra... |
