Maybe but theres more chance of problems on the mobile internet dongle side of things.Iv had a few of them in the past and the connection is terrible and if you do get a good connection a few week later they pack in and signals never as good. It will use up your credit fast on the dongle. Skype uses alot of memory downloads especialy if your doing the video chat. save your dongle credit for facebook and ebay.your proper wifi internet will be fine for skype. mobile dongles aint much cop
