WiFi Skype Phone - GoFuckYourself.com

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.

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

One of the Nokia's has wifi built into a cellphone.

Also, PSP's will soon be able to use voip

Thanks for the links Tony. Excellent info.

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