Not sure how it relates to incoming Skype calls to an S2 being
diverted to '3's Voicemail service though

CJB.

The page just tells you general stuff common to most mobile and landline
networks and probably only exists as a vehicle for the adverts.
(I suppose I could say the same about much the WWW, but you get my drift)

AFAIK incoming Skype calls follow the same rules when diverting
to voicemail as normal calls to the 3 number.

If you want the ability to stop calls going to voicemail completely
you need to call 3 support.

The irritation is the possibility of never receiving incoming Skype
calls on my laptop because Three's 'call divert' hi-jacks them.

But what about loggin off from Skype (Skype / Contacts / Options /
Sign out) on the S2; then maybe incoming Skype calls shouldn't be
diverted to Three's voicemail?

I can't experiment 'cos I've never actually successfully received an
incoming Skype call on my S2 anyway. This featured simply does not
work for me.

What do you hear when you make a call to the S2 from a different Skype
account?
Come to think of it I was presently surprised that I could receive incoming
Skype calls on the S2, I don't recall ever seeing that in any "3" literature,
only references to *making* calls.
I hope it hasn't been knobbled in ver. BREW 3.81.0.0,
looking round the forums etc. I can find no evidence that they have.

When I call the phone for the first time for a while, I get a long silence before it rings.
Subsequent calls connect instantly. Is as if the system establishes and remembers a path
to the phone.

Works surprisingly well for me, a friend called me a couple of days ago
and i didn't immediately realise he was calling my S2 from his Skype PC.

Can a different ring tone be set up on the S2 for Skype calls?

That does work but is not very convenient as you have to remember to do it
and then again turn it on when you want to receive skype calls on the
mobile.

That would be handy but so far have not come across it
