SKYPE AND WIRELESS IN PAK

[Abdali]

@bunnyhoney

Hi there,

I am hoping that someone here will be able to answer my question. I am thinking of buying one of those Skype handsets, where you can use Skype to make phone calls. You can get dual phones that apparently dont require a PC to to use Skype and make Skype calls. I am thinking of buying two phones so me and my husband who is in Pakistan can talk with each other for free, using Skype to Skype. Is this do-able? Do you need internet access to use this? I have internet access, but he doesnt.

Hope someone can help!

Another question - is there wireless internet in Rawalpindi/Islamabad? I have a mobile USB modem connected to my laptop computer. Will this work in Pakistan?

Thank you!!

I bought SMC WSKP100 Skype phone, WSKP100 - Google Search it a little gadget with 16Meg mem and runs on linux.. In a nut shell its a piece of garbage… It keeps locking up.. Don’t buy a dedicated Skype phone get Windows Mobile 5 or 6 and down load the software from skype.

I am using Skype for incoming and out going calls for last 5 years, given the cost savings I cannot complain, the sound quality is pretty good. My friends and family have skype in Pak and that is what I use, depending on the quality of connection in Pak I lose connectivity once or twice within 60 minute call but the sound quality is good.
