Do you use Skype for communicating with learners?
Are you planning to get a SkypeIn number, so they can contact you on skype?

Wait! don’t buy yet, because there is an alternative and a free one.

Ring2Skype is a free service that allows users to receive calls on Skype from landline and other phone networks free of charge. As you might be aware, that SkypeIn offers the same service but you need to buy the numbers. Ring2Skype on the other hand, is free. That’s not all...

  • While SkypeIn is available in only 20 countries, Ring2Skype is available in 40.

When users sign up for Ring2Skype they receive an online number along with an extension. All calls to this number are routed to your Skype ID, which lets you answer calls from Skype no matter where you are on the world. The caller doesn’t even need to have a Skype ID to call you.

Users can have as many online numbers as they want and they can have them in different countries. On a personal note, this can be pretty useful at times. Suppose they have a son living in San Francisco and they live in the UK and their son wants to call them but he doesn’t use Skype. They can register a new Ring2Skype number in San Francisco and ask their son to call that number. Calling a local number in USA would be cheaper for their son than calling the UK number. As for them, they would receive the call in their Skype no matter which number he calls. It’s win-win for both parties.
