    WiFi Skype Phone

    Anyone using one of these hotspot wifi phones when they travel? I am thinking about picking one up but have no idea if there is one that is better.

    Belkin, Linksys, SMC, Netgear & Panasonic all make them.

    Thanks.

    seems like a good idea, but nowadays any 3g cell works wherever so whats the point.

        Yes local simcard is one of the variant. If you have no cheap roaming

                          Are skype calls encrypted or can someone sniffing an open access point hear your conversation?
