Hello, Robin.
Are you a paying customer?
Remember that Skype2Skype is 'free' (as in beer), so it's unrealistic to
expect much support if (like me) you're not paying them: However, it has
to be said that everyone using Skype is 'paying' in kind for 'free' S2S
because Skype uses *all* connections, including 'free' ones to transfer
data on a peer2peer basis and your broadband is relaying other people's
phone connections ;-)
Best wishes,
Tony.
