How would you like a multi-line 800 number? Just about for free. Maybe multiple 800 numbers placed in strategic geographical places around the globe for your customers to call you for free and you pay all most nothing.
If you have a SkypeIn account and the latest Skype 4 Windows beta with Call Forwarding then you already have that 800 number! 1.4.0.56 (get it here)
Yes, you read correctly... one SkypeIn number handles multiple concurrent callers!
And since you can now use Skype’s Call Forward function, these additional calls (up to three) can be handed off to other Skype Clients or devices: mobile phones, landlines or to your businesses PBX .
You will pay SkypeOut rates for calls forwarded to non-Skype IDs. Tomorrow I will show how these 4 to 8 of these calls can be passed for free to your company’s PBX.
This has some neat possibilities! Once connected to your PBX you can handle unlimited calls at no cost per call.
