It’s now possible to have incoming Skype calls forwarded to any phone, even your mobile phone. Holy-frikkin’-moley.
First, let’s assume that you use Skype on a PC and you already have purchased SkypeOut credit so that you can can make PC to phone calls. Next, download and install iScoot. Fire it up and enter your mobile phone’s number. Leave your PC connected to the net with Skype and iScoot running and go outside. (If you’re afraid to go outside, then just walk a few steps away from the computer. Don’t worry, your porn collection won’t evaporate.) When somebody Skypes you, iScoot will patch the incoming call to your phone via SkypeOut.
Now is that cool or what? I assume that if I use SkypeIn, someone could call my number in the US and it’ll be put through to my mobile.
ありがとう。リチさん (is that right?) That managed to go under my radar unnoticed. Now Herro Flom Japan is not only my source of the best wise-ass unadulterated ex-pat video-casting, but now its a source of bleeding edge telecommunications news. Sarcasm aside and joking, a serious thanks for the heads up on iScoot. I’ll have to wait for the mac version to come out though. (>.
