Skype for SIP now open Beta
More SIP news this week--Skype for SIP, which until now has been in a closed Beta for only certain businesses since March, is now open to anyone who wants to try it out.
According to Skype Journal, anyone with a business control panel, a corporate Skype name subject to the business terms of service, and a business SkypeIn phone number can now use Skype for SIP. This new 'Skype Trunking' connects a company's phone switch to Skype with calls coming in being handled by Skype-to-Skype and Skype-In and all outgoing calls being made through Skype-Out.
Skype for SIP requires a Skype number, it costs $6.95 per line and international calls to 36 countries is 2.1 cents a minute.
