SkypeIn™ is a Skype feature which allows you to receive your own telephone number. This is beneficial when your friends or family members do not have Skype service and want to call you by dialing a regular number.

Here is an example: Let’s assume you have a New York based SkypeIn number, but you are temporarily living in London. Your friends, family members, or business associates can dial your SkypeIn number, and you will automatically receive the call in London! Here is the best part: if any of the people mentioned call, they would only pay the price of a call to New York

Another example of the SkypeIn service is if people from anywhere in the world calls your SkypeIn number, and your number is in the US and they call from another country, they pay for the price of an international call. You can also arrange to receive up to ten SkypeIn numbers in different locations.

In addition, to make your SkypeIn experience more enhanced, it comes with a free Skype Voicemail subscription. Let’s say a cousin calls you, but you’re not online, he can leave a voicemail message. You will be able to listen to it when you are available.

It is well worth noting here that the Skype Voicemail service is still being tested, therefore, be aware there may be some initial problems. Remember, you can get up to ten SkypeIn numbers in total from United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland. As we speak, Skype is working on having additional numbers available in many more countries around the world.

SkypeIn is a fantastic service which allows anyone, anywhere to call you even if they do not have Skype service. Think about it! You may also want to call everyone you know and tell them about Skype and the features it offers. They may also want to subscribe to this unique and extremely popular service!
