is also a possibility. They provide the Skype-to-SIP gateway
for you, though I'm not sure it will actually work on a 3 phone.
You need to "dial" from the browser, which is supposed to start
up a Skype call to the Skype name they've picked for the call,
so it may depend on the browser-Skype app interaction working.
Rebtel's call rates are also generally better than Skype Out.

But to use Rebtel you have to set up a local no. which on Three's
tariff (with an S2 etc.) is 20p a minute for the connection to start
off with. Then you are charged for whatever Rebtel charges for a
landline or mobile connection.
It would be easier if you'd taken note of what I wrote, though
maybe you can look he

You don't have to call through a local number to use Rebtel,
you can also call from your Skype client with Rebtel doing
the gatewaying to their service. As the Skype client in
the latter case thinks it is doing a Skype-to-Skype call the
call doesn't cost anything and should connect you no matter
where you are ultimately trying to call. Rebtel's rates are
also somewhat more reasonable than Skype Out.
But rebtel is still 11p per min to call UK mobiles, you'd be better
off with an ASDA or giffgaff sim for other than 3 to 3 calls
