Hmm, is it just me, or does skype NOT work if you try and call a contact from the address book because it doesn't have a prefix option and skype requires international format to connect calls?

Thanks, must be an international thing. US providers don't require #'s in international format, neither does my sip provider. Not really worth reformatting all of my numbers, don't need skype for outbound really anyway.

It's only an international thing when roaming countries or using a SIP type system. Here in Luxembourg and back in the UK I can dial local numbers without the prefix just fine, but many years ago I simply taught myself to always store numbers in full international format to avoid the issue.

FYI, the problem is being tracked here: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5457
