Listers,

I've been breaking in my new Safcom IDEOS phone
and just found that I can't download/install Skype on it,
due to Safcom blocking it!

I understand they don't want to lose voice revenue to
Skype (now Microsoft apparently), but won't they make
money on the data charges if I am passing VOIP packets
across their network?

Anyway, I think it rude that they sell me "Internet access",
but then don't give me access to the full internet!!

Has anybody gotten around this restriction by using another
providers SIM? Any other workaround to share?
