Answer calls on the move

  • No additional cost for friends to call you.
  • Forward your calls at cheap rates.

With call forwarding you can direct incoming calls to Skype to ring on your mobile or phone. If your friend is offline but has activated call forwarding you can reach them when they’re away from their computer and best of all it costs you nothing.

How much does it cost?

However, if you make a Skype-to-Skype call to someone who has their calls forwarded, you won’t pay anything.

To forward your calls without a subscription you’ll need Skype Credit. You call also use your credit to make calls to phones and mobiles and to send SMS directly from Skype.
