An online number (SkypeIn™) is perfect if you have friends, family or business colleagues who don't use Skype. Anyone can dial your online number from any phone or mobile and hey presto, your Skype rings and you pick up the call – wherever you are in the world.
Numbers are now available in over 20 countries.
Friends in the same area code as your number only pay a local rate to call you – and you pay nothing to answer the call.
People can call your online number from any landline or cell phone.
Wherever you're online the calls reach you on Skype.
How does an online number work?
You buy an online number in one of over 20 locations and your friends, family or business contacts can call that number and only pay for a standard rate call (if they are in the same country as your online number) – the online number uses the internet to route the call and so saves them money. It makes absolutely no difference wherever you are, you can pick up the call at no cost to you wherever in the world you are logged into Skype.
