Skype + Wireless Phone = Home Office Phone on the Cheap

If you use Skype then this isnt news to you. To everyone else listen up: Skype is a phone service where you can call any skype member free worldwide, think of free mobile to mobile but on a much larger scale. You can also call anyone within the US for 36 bucks a year, thats unlimited calls folks. You can aslo get unlimited incoming minutes with a local phone number from almost any area code you like for another one time fee of about 40 bucks. You can purchase up to 10 phone numbers so you can have a Florida area code so when Granny calls she wont pay long distance, you can set up a New York area code so local business will think you have a local office and so on.

The only catch is you need a wireless network for this to work. Luckily you most likely already have one, if not they are easy to setup. Then you need a phone like this one that Amazon has on sale for 89.99 with free shipping and no tax.

So this is what you need:

Wireless Home or Office Network
Skype Wireless phone
Skype account in good standing with SkypeIn and SkypeOut

With the exception of the one time fee for the phone you can have unlimited nationwide long distance for less than 100 bucks a year.

Lets see any VOIP provider top that, what a minute I think I know of a way to get all of this for free….. A detailed post will follow that will show how to get unlimited long distance, a new local number and a completely free phone service.
