Thread: Help with Skype for press contacting

Help with Skype for press contacting

From
Josh Berkus
Date:
All,

We'd like to explore having a single phone number for the north American
press to dial which would forward to multiple people.  For project
symbiosis reasons, I'd prefer to do this using Skype but I can't figure
out how to do it or what it would cost.

Does anyone have sufficient skype-foo for this?

Josh - that sounds more like Google Voice (free) than Skype.  One
number forwarded to any number of other phones.

With Google Voice, you can choose from among many phone numbers.  I
noticed (for example) that the following numbers are available:

    (xxx) 693-PGUS
    (xxx) 377-OSDB
    (xxx) 204-DATA
    (xxx)382-POST

    or (xxx) 491-JOSH   :-)

Agreed. This is a job for Google Voice. PgUS already has one of these.
