U.K. mobile phone operator Hutchison 3G UK which is 
also known as “3″ in the U.K., introduced a Skypephone, a handset designed to simplify use of the Skype VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) application.

Once launched, the application will open the user’s contact list and instant messaging service.
Huchison 3 is not charging for the cost of Skype calls on its network, although it does limit the service to about 4,000 minutes per month. Huchison 3 will then suspend outgoing Skype calls but allow incoming ones.While it is possible to access Skype from a number of handsets, this has involved downloading third-party software, something that has put off the majority of users.
