Skype To Go phone numbers now available for all paying users
Skype To Go is a service that lets you make cheap phone calls over Skype from a regular phone. Here's how it works. You sign up for a Skype To Go phone number that's linked to your Skype account. You can then dial that number from any phone to initiate a phone call to another phone at the same rates that you would pay if you were using Skype on your computer. In other words, if your mobile carrier charges $.99 per minute to call New Zealand and Skype charges $.02, you can just call a local number and pay the Skype rate.Skype has been offering this service for a few years, but it was previously part of the Skype Pro plan.

But if you already have some credit in your account for making long distance phone calls, you can sign up for a Skype To Go number for no additional cost.

The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I rang my mum in Australia from Boston from my cell phone on the train ride home from work. The call was crystal clear with no lag or echo and the 14 minutes conversation cost me 33c and 14 minutes of my 450 monthly minutes!
This is a game changer!
