Appendix A – SkypeIn and SkypeOut Services
Followings are additional information from the Skype Website.
5.1 SkypeIn
With SkypeIn, you can get your own, regular phone number. So if your friends
who aren’t using Skype want to call you by dialing a regular number, you can still
receive the call in Skype. No matter where you are.
So, if you have a Chicago-based SkypeIn number, but you’re living somewhere in the
suburbs of Paris, your Chicago area friends - or anyone! - can just dial your SkypeIn
number, and your Skype on the other side of the world starts ringing... and your friends
are only paying whatever their phone company charges them for making a phone call to
Chicago.
SkypeIn makes it much easier and less expensive for those of your friends, family and
business contacts who are not necessarily connected to the Internet to call you and
share that urgent news, or to just tell you that their cat had nine (9!) kittens.
To make it even better, SkypeIn comes with a free
Skype Voicemail
subscription, so
when Aunt Jenny calls you about urgent pet-related matters, but you’re busy or even
offline, she can leave you a voicemail message (and you know she will).
5.2 SkypeOut
Since not everyone has Skype yet. That’s why we have SkypeOut, a low cost way to
make calls from Skype to friends who still use those traditional landlines or mobile
phones. That means calling anyone, anywhere in the world at local rates.
Just as an example, when you use SkypeOut to call France, Germany and United
Kingdom,
you can save up to 56%
per minute compared with AT&T CallVantage
