As far as I know and understand, the rate is the same as being charged at usual SkypeOut rates.

There is a actually skype for the n95 but it's in Beta. If you make calls or receive calls from the software, you are charged the cost of a local call to some local gateway.

ps. can you add your model and firmware version to your signature

When you call skype-to-skype you use their servers and while inside their network, it's free. If you need to call a landline, it has to break "out" onto the PSTN network and transfer the call to a telephone. Hence this incurring a charge. You baiscally pay for skype to connect the call between their network and the regular telephone.

Does that explain it.

It's Broke?

Did you know that your Nokia comes with a 2 year warranty? Did you know that Carphone Warehouse are Nokia Repair Centres?
Damage from normal use: wobbly slider, broken keys, quiet earpiece etc... will be repaired for free, and usually the same day if you take it to a big store!
