With an Online Number, people can call you from a landline or mobile and you can pick up the call in Skype. It’s perfect if you have friends, family or business colleagues who don’t use Skype. Anyone can dial your Online Number from any phone or mobile and – hey presto – your Skype rings and you pick up the call.

It’s a great thing to have if you plan to travel or move abroad, but want an affordable way to keep in contact with people back home. You can choose where you want your Online Number to be local to when you set it up.

Say you live in London, and you plan to travel around Australia for the summer, but you want an affordable way to keep in contact with friends and family back home. All you have to do is get an Online Number local to London, and your friends and family back in London can call you on that number at local rates. When they want to call you, simply find yourself a computer, sign yourself in to Skype and answer the call when it rings – and you pay nothing to answer the call.

Please note: you are required to provide proof of residence before you can set up an Online Number for certain countries. Find out more about setting up an Online Number for another country.

Not only can your friends, family and business associates call you on your Online Number, but you can also set up call forwarding to your Online Number from any phone that has the feature. Just set up call forwarding on your phone as you would normally and enter your Online Number as the phone number – Easy.

You can also use your Online Number as your Skype caller identification. It’s quick and easy to set up and when it’s set, your Online Number will display each time you call a landline or mobile (as long as their phone is capable of displaying incoming caller ID) – now your friends family and colleagues will know it’s you who’s calling.
