Answer calls on the move

Call forwarding – never miss a call even when you're offline or on another call.

  • Receive your calls when you're offline.
  • Free for people to call you – even if you forward calls to your mobile.
  • Forward your calls and pay cheap rates.
  • Get hold of contacts who are out of the office.

With call forwarding you can redirect incoming Skype calls to your mobile, a phone or to another Skype Name. Also, if a contact is offline but has activated call forwarding you can reach them when they're away from their computer.

How much does it cost?

When you're the one forwarding calls from Skype to your mobile or phone, you pay per minute. The calls are charged at our low rates. If you're the one making a Skype-to-Skype call to someone who has set up call forwarding to their phone or mobile, you don't pay anything.

To forward your calls you'll need Skype Credit.
