I've been breaking in my new Safcom IDEOS phone<br>
and just found that I can't download/install Skype on it,<br>
due to Safcom blocking it!<br>
<br>
I understand they don't want to lose voice revenue to<br>
Skype (now Microsoft apparently), but won't they make<br>
money on the data charges if I am passing VOIP packets<br>
across their network?<br>
<br>
Anyway, I think it rude that they sell me "Internet access",<br>
but then don't give me access to the full internet!!<br>
<br>
Has anybody gotten around this restriction by using another<br>
providers SIM? Any other workaround to share?<br>
<br>

Cheers,<br>
