Awesome Skype plugin

I became pretty hooked on Skype this year, I now have 3 different Skype accounts for different purposes.

I also have a few SkypeIn numbers

- A UK one for my mum to contact me cheaply
- A US one for folks I talk to regularly in the US
- An Australian one for local inbound calls

All these get routed to the same Skype account ... but yesterday I saw plugin for Skype released from a company called Voxlib which just takes the Skype value proposition to a whole new level.

They allow you to connect your Skype account to their universal voice bridge which means you can use your Skype account from your mobile via SMS or a SkypeIn number and your Skype account will call you and connect you through Skype to any number you want to call !

So now you can benefit from great Skype call rates when you are on the go ... very cool technology

Australia finally catches up with the world (well Apple does anyway)
