Skype extends to mobiles - using a PC as the link

by David Ferris | posted on 28 August 2006


In September, http://www.voxlib.com/ VoxLib plans to launch Vox for Skype. This runs on your PC and extends Skype to your mobile phone. From your mobile, you can call your PC and:

  • See who's online
  • Make Skype calls
  • Get your Skype voicemail
  • Make international PSTN calls via SkypeOut

  • The main benefit will probably be the ability to make cheap international calls from your mobile, usually over "free" plan minutes.

    Skype's got a growing third-party ecosystem; VoxLib illustrates. For more, see the Skype Extras Gallery. That in turn helps to make Skype even more attractive.
