As said i have tested it several times now using call forwarding but it can take to long, 40 seconds was the record and around 10 seconds is the minimum.

The forwarding delays from Skype are nothing new, it's always been that way. I tried it out early last year http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/show...p?t=925&page=2
- it was just the same then. At the time Skype was running 3 - 4 million logged in users per day.

It was so slow I gave up and used alternatives. Ipkall.com to a sip account (which can then be forwarded) works fine (and can be set up with no monthly fees).

I do have several othe did numbers that can be forwarded but the bigest advantage of skype is that it just cost 1.7 cent per minute to call 07624 mobile. I did not find any other company that gives me these rates. 10 cents per minute to uk mobile seems to be a normal minimum.

If someone calls my skypename however the forwarding does not take a long time, 5-10 seconds, maximum
