Some people DON'T want to save money!

No one I've spoken to about the Skypephone seems all that interested.  This is true of people on a tight budget as well as those who currently use Skype.  For instance, I spoke to friends of my parents the other night, a retired couple who've moved back to Ireland from the UK.  They have family and friends in the UK and must be spending a small fortune on PAYG (prepaid).  I explained about the 3 Skypephone and 3's 3-Like-Home service/policy (what's the word I'm looking for?) as well as Skype and in the end they said they were gonna change network but not to 3.  They gave no reason for avoiding 3 and I wasn't going to press them.  I don't think it had anything to do with the bad rep 3 has had in the past, I figure it was because for one reason or another they hadn't even heard of 3!

In the UK, 3 see seem to offer the best value for money on most things and for those that regularly travel between '3' countries it seems like a no-brainer to go with them.  Throw Skype into the mix and you've got a network ideal for students, families and those who regularly call any country abroad.  But people aren't switching to 3 in their droves, so why?
