Hi All,

I have a query that I hope you can help me answer. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for a particular kind of setup to meet my needs. Put simply, I would like to have an 0800 number that is routed to a Skype phone number. So for instance if someone called the 0800 number then the call goes through to a specified Skype phone number or account.

Getting the 0800 number and Skype is of course the easy bit, the problem I am having is I can find no NZ equivalent service for the "call forwarding to Skype" part. There are such services in the U.K to achieve this however I have scoured nearly ever related page I can find on the topic for NZ and cannot find anything solid.

Is there anyway to achieve what I am looking for? Again, any help would be awesome!

Thanks

I havnt tried it myself but I thought it would be pretty easy from a 2talk 0800 number. to just divert it to skype.

Predictions are hard to make. Especially when they are about the future.

Any 0800 number provider should just ask what number you want it to terminate on - give them the skype number.
Alternatively, use a VoIP provider such as WorldxChange or 2talk to supply the number an terminating number; then use a soft-phone.
