I'm in Italy for the month, and the roaming charges are CRAZY and I didn't want to unlock my iPhone (next time).

I have a Skype account and I was wondering if I can connect the iPhone via USB to my relatives PC, and make my calls through my Skype account?

Thanks!!

They dont know\remember thier p\w for the router.

Trust me, I'd prefer that, but have to deal what is availabe to me.

Anyone else?

That isn't going to help as I'd still have to enter a p\w for wireless aceess, no?

no, reset resets the password and the router. You only need a password to access the router, but it will be set to default. probably admin/admin. There won't be encryption anymore once the router is reset.

I see.

From my limited research, I can creat my  own ad-hoc network to establish a link between the PC and iPhone.

Instructions HEREif anyone is interested, although I don't think I want to try it on their PC.
