Skype can do more than that even. When I Skype to Skype a friend on
Tortola and his computer doesn't answer it tries his land line. If that
doesn't answer after 4 or 5 rings it tries his cell. You just can't hide
anywhere! :-)

Thanks, J
A Skype friend of mine and I were fooling around trying out different
combinations of calls, this afternoon.....
My Skype In is set to forward all my calls to my cellular phone when
Skype In calls my computer and the computer isn't available, as a matter
of fact, I simply hibernated WinXP Pro on my laptop for the test without
logging off my Skype client at all. Hibernation is great on the laptop,
Skype and the Linksys CIT200 interface and all as it boots right back up
and logs on perfectly...without having to reboot the whole computer.
Werner, a Swiss friend of mine, called me on Skype-to-Skype with the
computer hibernated and offline. Skype In worked perfectly, taking even
the Skype-to-Skype call and forwarding the internet only call to my
cellular phone forwarding number, immediately!
Someone had their whole head screwed on when they coded this software and
the server software for Skype. Way cool, internet VoIP to cellular
interface for $38/YEAR! Amazing....(c;
If my computer is offline, and I call my Skype In phone number from the
cellular it forwards to, Alltel dumps the call into the cellular phone
voicemail box, right on cue. If I don't answer the forwarded Skype call,
either via VoIP or to my Skype In number, and I don't answer the
cellphone, all the Skype In calls go to cellular voicemail for mobile
retrieval, anyways. If the computer is online, but I have Skype's status
set to Do Not Disturb or Unavailable or a mode like that, Skype dumps the
calls to the cellular voicemail when I don't answer it either....
Setup this way, Skype friends can call me, from anywhere on the planet
for free, even if I'm out mobile without the computer on wifi, now.....
(c; On unlimited nights/weekends/holiday or after 9PM EDT on the
cellphone, the call costs nothing!, even from Hong Kong!
