@Enyibinakata, try Fring to send SMS to avoid O2 charge. Also if your pals have fring you can fring call each other using 3G or Wi-Fi.
Someone suggested google voice, but they don't seem to want me.
EDIT: I found fring in the testing section, but I can't find out how to send messages.
EDIT2: there is already a suggestion in the bugs section: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6938
I'll make an account just to vote on that one!

Has anyone gotten skype to skype voice calls to work on the n900 I tested it today and the other party could hear me but I couldn't hear his voice other than for a couple seconds. Not sure if it is the N900 client being flaky on the incoming voice?
When I do skype out calls to a phone number I didn't have the same problem.

I wasn't happy about the quality either, but I blamed my data connection. When using wifi everything seems ok.

Remember that you can call toll free numbers without Skype credit.
It also will work with Google 411(8004664411) & Tellme 411 (8995558355) to be connected to yellow pages business free.
That lets me call the office free.
* **France**: +33 800, +33 805, +33 809
* **Poland**: +48 800
* **UK**: +44 500, +44 800, +44 808
* **USA**: +1 800, +1 866, +1 877, +1 888

*Frenchfry:
When calling '800' numbers on Skype, is the access fee still deducted from one's Skype credit?

I am using Skype and that the only phone I am using, something like $30 a year for anywhere US + Canada, landline, cell, or computer phone.
Double tab to get the '+' sign then the number
switch back to phone home page to use DTMF.
Coupled with Googlevoice to recieve incoming calls.

n900 skype "plus sign"
and found this thread. And then I figured it out: the way to get the plus sign in the dial pad is to double-tap the "*+" button.
