BTW, why are you happy to write out a word like "connection" properly, but have problems with "would", "didn't", "people" or "to"?

You can *use* the Skype software on Al Shamil, you just can't download it or buy SkypeOut credit on Al Shamil.
Then download it at your university, burn it to a CD or something and take it home to install on your PC.

Mine has T9 but I can't get to grips with it so I don't use it.......

EDIT - because I'm bored, I just did a quick test and it takes 10 button-presses to write "text speak" with T9, against 12 to write "txt spk" without it.
T9 rox!
