An online number (SkypeIn™) is 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 – wherever you are in the world.
Numbers are now available in over 25 countries.
Friends in the same country as your number only pay a local rate to call you – and you pay nothing to answer the call.
People can call your online number from any landline or mobile phone.
Even if you're online away from home or work, the call will find you and your Skype will ring.
How would you use one?
Say you now live in Auckland and are traveling to Melbourne, but your dear mother, your best friend and the real estate agent trying to sell your apartment are back in Auckland. You can get an actual Auckland number that is connected to your Skype. So, when your mother misses you or the real estate guy wants to tell you the good news, they punch in a number familiar to them and they only pay their standard call rates – but you answer the call with Skype in Melbourne.
How much does it cost?
Just €15 for 3 months or €50 for a full year (€17.25 and €57.50 where VAT applies, respectively). You can get up to 50% off this cost with the purchase of a monthly subscription.

How does an online number work?
You buy an online number in one of over 25 locations and your friends, family or business contacts can call that number and only pay for a standard rate call (if they are in the same country as your online number) – the online number uses the internet to route the call and so saves them money. It makes absolutely no difference wherever you are, you can pick up the call at no cost to you wherever in the world you are logged into Skype.
