Skype on Phone

Is it possible to get only mobile internet service from any cell of the phone service providers?
Then install skype and use it to make calls?

Not that i know of, Here in ireland theres pre-pay providers you can use skype through, but you have to top up with at least €10 a month to keep skype active on your account.

Sure you can, first you need a phone with 3G or WiFi.

Then all you need is a third party application:
iSkoot | Life on the go.
fring – Make free mobile calls, IM with Skype, MSN Messenger, ICQ, Google Talk™, SIP & Twitter, AIM® & Yahoo!™
Welcome to Truphone - Internet telephony on Nokia mobile phones

it's just like skype on your pc. It uses data either via GPRS/EDGE/HSPDA or WiFi.

If you use Skype and Iskoot, of course you have to pay a fee. :/

Good luck finding a provider to give you just a data plan, other than with a Blackberry, and I don't think any of these are compatible with Blackberries.

Thanks.
Is 3G fast enough for Skype?

If you are talking about HSPDA, then yes.

Turns out I don't have 3G service in my area!
I can only use AT&T's EDGE, Sprint has speeds of 50 Kbps - 70 Kbps (slightly faster than dial-up), Verizon has their "Enhanced Services", and I think T-Mobile isn't good for internet anywhere.
So will Skype, or a different VoIP service work on any of these?
