Hi Adrian.
As I explained in my previous message, you can purchase Skype telephone
adaptors which would link your existing Skype account and allow you to
manage both landline and Skype calls on the same phone be it corded or
cordless. There are some which require you to plug them in to the router,
others which are wireless and which have the hardware built in to support
Skype and which can connect wirelessly to your router, still others that can
plug in to a computer running Skype via a USB connection, your choices are
quite broad here. As you say you can also install a Skype app on your Wi-Fi
enabled phone, be it Android, Apple, Nokia or Blackberry so its a question
of choosing the right equipment for your exact setup. May I suggest you go
to the Skype store online and seeing what they have, it'll be a good
starting point for you and they can ship to anywhere in Europe most of the
items they sell.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi
Ok thanks for all this info, I know the phone service
between skype and my phone works, i.e. I can make calls from
my pc to phones, people can phone me from their phones and I
can receive the calls to either my pc or to my mobile, the
cost of the divert is 5.9 pence, it works fine, the only
problem I am experiencing is to find a way of using my
phones to make calls through skype, I am upstairs, the
router is downstairs, it isn't possible for me to plug the
landline straight into the router as my parents have their
phone for their satalite system plugged into the router,
they receive their calls via satellite. I was trying to find
an alternative way of achieving this. Thought about
installing skype on my mobiles but not sure what it will
cost me to use skype, plus I only have one wifi ready phone.
Maybe I will find this more complex than I want it to be.
Regards
Adrien

Hi Adrian.
Yes, you can buy Skype to phone adaptors, I used to be
really in to Skype
ology as it used to be called, that is using Skype as a
replacement for a
landline phone. There are Skype phones available from
Philips which once
set up only require a Wi-Fi connection to become fully
operational, also
routers which support Skype as a VOIP service with a phone
connection
socket, so you'd plug your traditional landline corded or
cordless phone in
and use the router with an internet connection to make and
take calls.
Diverting your Skype calls to your mobile will cost you for
the diverted
part of the call, therefore I suggest you look at one of the
above options
if you plan to use Skype as a replacement for your landline.
Good luck and
let me know if I can be of further help, and remember, with
Skype its no
emergency calls as they make plainly and abundantly clear.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi
I have just taken out a skype telephone line, I pay a lot
less with that per month than I do with my french landline.
I would like to get a phone I can carry around with me, I
have 3 landline phones that may be redundant if I keep the
skype number going. Is there an adapter I can get to connect
the landline to my pc or laptop to plug my landline phones
into the skype number.
I have set up the skype number to divert to my mobile after
a a few rings if I am away from the pc. I am not sure but I
would think I would need to install skype to my mobile to
use the skype number from the phone, I can receive calls on
it but not make calls. Is skype for a mobile accessible?
Regards
Adrien
