With SkypeIn, you can get your own, regular phone number. So if your friends who aren’t using Skype want to call you by dialing a regular number, you can still receive the call in Skype. No matter where you are.

So, if you have a Chicago-based SkypeIn number, but you’re living somewhere in the suburbs of Paris, your Chicago area friends - or anyone! - can just dial your SkypeIn number, and your Skype on the other side of the world starts ringing... and your friends are only paying whatever their phone company charges them for making a phone call to Chicago.

Of course people from everywhere in the world can call your SkypeIn number; but if your SkypeIn number is in the United States and they call from another country, they pay for the international nature of the call. And if you have friends in many places, you can get up to 10 SkypeIn numbers in different places and keep them guessing as to where you really are!

I am in Bangalore, India. I have a 706 Georgia telephone number (its BETA, so they don't have 404 or 770 yet), with voicemail. If you call my US number, you get me anywhere in the world if I am logged into Skype. If I am not logged in or don't take the call, you get my voicemail. THIS IS THE FUCKING BOMB.

Get numbers in 10 countries. "Yes sir, Bloggo Corporation has offices in Hong Kong, the US, France, the UK, their numbers are blah blah." hahaha

They don't offer India numbers yet, but I'm sure they will.

Skype In: DA BOMB
