Skype on N97 mini

Hi I purchesed an n97 mini on saturday, and downloaded skype. the only way i've been able to get it to work is by  wifi. Whenever i start walking away from home and the wifi signa drops, so does skype. There's absolutely no way to make it log in on 3G, and yes i do have a data plan... The very reason why i got this phone was because i wanted to use skype... Oh and when i try to choose connection on teh sype settings, it says "imposible to connect, The correct connection settings were not apllied" or soemthing to that effect. I did install the data info from my service provider, and i can use teh browser with no trouble at all.

Can anyone please, please help me? Thanks.

 

PS: I'm in Argentina and my service provider is Personal.

In destinations set your packet-data (gprs) accesspoint as priority.

Re: Skype on N97 mini

Hey :smileyhappy:. Thanks for replying. I'm not a complete nub about phones, but i cant get it to work still.
If what you mean is go to
menu> settings>conectivity>destiantions
Well, no can do. I mean, it does go in there, and there is 2 options, one is to add acc. point and the other is uncategorized (21 access points)... But whenever i try to open the 21 uncategorized ones, it gets stuck, i even tried taking the batt out and restoring manufactorer's settings.
Is there any way to delete a wi fi connection? i tried doing it but i cant seem to find the option to....
Thanks again, hope we get it to work :]

 

update: i just tried re-installing the device sw. It did not work. Not only did it not delete the connection info, which it was not to back up, but it stil comes up with the same problem :smileysad:

It's advised to reset the device after a firmware update or reinstall. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. This reset will delete all accesspoints, so you can start from scratch.
