I’m into shiny things. If they have buttons, so much the better. If they enable “free” cross-continental voice and video communication, then *booya!*
So check it (to the tune of “Dry Bones” aka “the knee-bone’s connected to the thigh-bone…”):
- My toll-free number’s connected to my Skype account
- My Skype account’s connected to my skype subscription
- My subscription’s connected to my voicmail
- My voicemail’s connected to my cell phone
- My cell phone’s connected to my ear
So yeah, that tune really doesn’t do justice to the sweetness of my system. I bought a toll-free number for a web development business I’m starting. I have the number roll over to my “Skype-in” number, which then rings my Skype account. If I’m going to be away from my computer (yeah, right!), then I can set Skype to forward the call to my cell phone, or just send it to voice mail. And then I can return the call anywhere in North America for “free” ($30 annually lets me call out up to 10,000 minutes/month). All this for about $80 a year.
If this sort of thing gets you salivating, get hold of me, and I can give you all the gory details.
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
