Until now, making a Skype call required being near your computer. Now you can make or receive Skype calls from any mobile phone as well as any handset in the house or office with the VoSKY Call Center from Actiontec.
This small hardware accessory makes it possible to use the Skype service to call across the country or across the world for free or at online rates, wherever you are.
As the world’s first mobile Skype solution, the VoSKY Call Center enables Skype subscribers to use their mobile phones to talk to their Skype buddies for free, or to non-Skype users anywhere in the world for the cost of a local call.
By plugging the device into an Internet-connected PC and any stationary phone with which it is being used, you have the ability to place Skype and SkypeOut calls from any mobile or stationary phone, receive incoming Skype or SkypeIn calls on any mobile or stationary phone, as well as get notified on any phone when Skype contacts come online.
These features extend Skype’s reach not only to cell phones but also to consumers who have no broadband connection at home. In that case, the VoSKY Call Center can be installed at the office, and you can call your office number to make Skype or SkypeOut calls.
The product can also be used by Internet cafés in countries with limited home broadband connectivity to provide an inexpensive but revenue-generating long-distance service. Customers can place Skype or SkypeOut calls from home by making a local call to the café and then routing calls through the VoSKY Call Center for a fee.
The VoSKY Call Center plugs into the USB port of your PC as well as any stationary phone with which it is being used. It allows the same phone to be used for both regular and Internet calls, avoiding the complications of needing separate handsets for each.
It supports call waiting as well as Skype speed dialling, incorporates echo-cancellation technology for signal clarity, and requires no network configuration, change in firewall or router settings, or external power supply. Power is provided by the USB port of the PC. It costs $69.95 (£40) and is available now at www.vosky.com.
