Skype has a service known as SkypeIn which allows you to purchase your own phone number. That's right, your own legitimate phone number. Anyone in the world can dial this phone number on their home or cell phones and it will ring right at your Skype interface. Answer the call and voila, you are now talking to someone on the phone through the computer.
SkypeIn is a great solution for any business or individual interested in obtaining another phone line. You can obtain a phone number for your SkypeIn service in up to 21 different countries. It costs absolutely nothing to answer a call and callers only pay the local rate.
Along with your SkypeIn place you will receive voicemail and call forwarding. The voicemail feature is pretty nice, if you aren't there to answer the phone - the caller has the option to leave a message for you and once you get back, you can listen to it right from the Skype interface. In addition to the voicemail, you receive call forwarding. Now this can be helpful in a series of way, the most popular includes using the SkypeIn number to forward all incoming calls to your cell phone. A benefit of this is you get your own other number that anyone can call and you can answer at your cell phone.
This is a great solution to remaining anonymous in online deals or advertisements. Along with SkypeIn, you can purchase an additional service from Skype known as SkypeOut which allows you to make unlimited monthly phone calls at a simple monthly fee. You can purchase plans that allow you to either make calls to the US & Canada, or the whole world - at one low monthly rate. A simple US & Canada subscription goes for about three bucks a month, a subscription to make calls to anywhere in the world is roughly ten bucks a month. Both are great deals and can fit perfectly to your business or individual demands.
In conclusion, SkypeIn and SkypeOut are great solutions to many problems that businesses or individuals may face when it comes to doing online business and we are lucky to have Skype around to provide such great services.
