can you log onto the skyp website using your details from your phone on 3g?

I can't really help since everything works for me (O2 Germany) but a quick Google search turned up this thread about some admins attempting to block Skype.
The IP they provided is no longer valid or will not respond to pings. Quick way to get the authentication IP is to use wireshark/netstat after opening a connection with Skype. Do this on your desktop, see if you can ping it and if not then the IP is probably filtered.

This if from 2006 so some things may have changed

I think, I got the solution for (against) the Skype-Client.
There is an analysis from the Columbia University:
http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~library...ucs-039-04.pdf
An they found, that there is one fix Host every Client has to contact to verify the membership and username
which is: Skype Auth-Server 80.160.91.11
I created one Rule which blocks everything to this host.
And yes, no Skype anymore :-)
It can also be an bandwith issue. We have 350 users on 7 sites in Europe.
If only 10% try to make calls via Skype, our peering point will have no bandwith left over for other services.
I hope this short help will make you more happy

EDIT; Authenticating via their website will only tell you that they don't block port 80 to Skype, nothing more.

I'm connected via ssh on my device trying to identify the hosts using 'netstat' command... But it's not possible... I can't see any skype related IP addresses on table.

There are some networks blocking skype...like TELCEL here in Mexico. It works fine with WiFi, after a searching other websites I found out that skype does not work with TELCEL regardles of phone. What is interesting is that it works fine while roaming the TELCEL network with a UK Tmobile sim card, but the Tmobile data charges are very, very high roaming internationally.
