CHAPTER 6: USING THE GATEWAY WHILE AT HOME 22
Making SkypeOut Calls on Your Home Phone
SkypeOut is a paid service provided by Skype that lets you call any phone number in the
world. Because it uses an Internet connection instead of a phone line, long-distance
calling rates are significantly lower. You might want to use SkypeOut if your friends do
not have Skype, if they are offline, or if you want to save money on your long-distance
calls. To buy Skype Credit to make SkypeOut calls, refer to Appendix C.
1. Dial * on your phone to change from landline to Internet mode. You will see
the LINE light go off and the USB light go on, and you will also hear a new
dial tone with a higher pitch.

2. Dial zero twice, 00, on your phone to initiate a SkypeOut call.
3. Dial the country code and phone number you are trying to reach.
4. Press # to send the call.
For example, to call the phone number (123) 456-7890 in Edinburgh in the
United Kingdom, you would dial as follows:
* 00 44 1234567890 #
Country Code Phone Number
As another example, say you wanted to call someone with the phone number (123)
456-7890
in Taiwan. You would dial as follows:
* 00 886 1234567890 #
Country Code Phone Number
⇒ If you do not know the country code of the number you wish to contact, visit the
Skype Dialing Wizard by opening your Web browser and typing
www.skype.com/products/skypeout/rates/dialing.html
in the
address bar. This will guide you through making a SkypeOut call.
⇒ Even if you are calling someone in the same country or area code region, you still
need to dial the country code and full phone number of your SkypeOut contact.
