You can set up free UK and international landline numbers
to Skype with www.ring2skype.com

and then use a Skype phone to receive them, Three offers
free Skype.

I have two London, a 0161 Manchester and a 646 Manhatten New York
number pointing to my Three Skype S2 phone.

(I don't think ring2skype offer 0161 anymore)

If ring2skype is down, callers can still call your Skype phone direct,
it will cost them normal mobile rates to make the call.

Which software version of Skype do you have on your S2?

I have no trouble at all with both of my S2's, my Nokia 6120c on the
other hand insists on disconnecting from Three Skype at least once a day

I tend to port in Tesco Mobile numbers, same landline call rate as O2.
Tesco Mobile free sims easy to get and get Tesco CS to port
