SkypeIn - Skype 1.20 Beta

March 10, 2005 10:59 AM

Topics: Skype News

First 10000+ likely to be the lucky ones. In a new beta 1.2 Skype takes on traditional telecoms with significant usage enhancements. As reported last night it costs Euros 30 for one year. I registered a 415 area code earlier today. I also paid using PayPal avoiding the Moneybookers option. I understand it will take a few more hours for my number to become active. I'll report later on the more detailed feature changes. Note this beta also provides a Voice Mail where the messages length is now extended to 10 minutes!

# feature: Central Contacts List

Skype announced that they will be offering INCOMMING phone numbers for 30€ every 3 months. You can now call from a landline to Skype. Aptly named SkypeIn to contrast with their existing service, SkypeOut, which allows calls from Skype to... [Read More]

A while ago I posted about a little device I spotted on a (rather terrible) website: the ActionTec Internet Phone Wizard. Essentially, it plugs into a computer running Skype, and accomodates a plug for your landline phone, and then enables... [Read More]

how did you get the skypein number? the site says it's only available at skype store, and I did not see it. i have the new 1.2 beta

I got my SkypeIN number straight after reading this post. Today I should be getting my VOIP router that will allow me to take/make calls on Skype using my DECT phone and I'll be very happy.

I'm very impressed with SkypeIN. It means I can be travelling but still get people to call me on a local, UK number.

I got SkypeIN, plus the ActionTec Internet phone wizard. It's really really nice.

Well done, Skype.

Got my London skypeIN number - and I see they have sold out of UK numbers.


Now I just need to work out how to unsubscribe from BT for voice calls...!

Well done Skype!

Worth updating to the new version 1.2.0.32. Has a few bug fixes and additional privacy settings for SKYPEIN users.

Seems pretty stable too.
