Ever miss an important Skype call? Want to forward your inbound Skype Calls to your mobile phone and are willing to spend a few SkypeOut minutes to do it? Jyve offers a quick and easy solution to make it happen. More importantly you can forward calls from specified buddies or anyone.

To add call forwarding for your Skype.

1. Download Jyve Web Tools
2. Activate the "Advanced ON"
3. Select Call Forwarding
4. Point Jyve to your phone number or the Skype name you want to forward calls to.
5. Make sure you have a paid up SkypeOut balance. You pay for calls forwarded.

Note the same feature will also act as a ringer. Ringing your home phone and letting you know that your PC has a Skype caller.

How does it work?
When Jyve Skype Forwarding is active, your calls will be forwarded to the number or Skype name you have specified. Jyve enables call forwarding by sending the caller a text message (well not yet on SkypeIn) that the call is being forwarded. Then Jyve creates a conference call, muting the mic and speakers on your PC and connecting the Skype call to your mobile or another telephone or Skype client. It's a simple solution. When the callers hang up the conference bridge ends. Jyve is then ready to forward the next call.

Dose this work alos with SkypeIn?

Yep it will work with SkypeIn too! However that means that all inbound calls would be forwarded. After checking and trying it out... I found that selectively forwarding an inbound caller ID eg a landline is not possible. However, if all calls are forwarded.. it works just fine.

Hi,
I would really like to be able to be able to dial in (so Skypein oprion in the UK available) and then select different numbers to be forwarded to.

In effect, dial into my skype in number from my cell phone then use the skype out feature to make international calls.

Any ideas?
