Answer 1

You can do 3-Way Conferencing with Skype.

I have done it many times and it works Great!!!

You can talk to multiple people with Skype at the same time.  But, that is conferencing, where all 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or as many as 9 people can be conferenced on the same call....

However, I am not aware of ability to call two separate phone numbers and have two separate independent connections at same time.  Not like having a 2-line PSTN phone....

As far as using a WiFi cordless Skype phone, it will not cause any additional noticeable audio delays in your conversation.

I currently use Skype on my PC, which is connected to my Wireless-G router.  Thus, the Skype connection is wireless between PC and the Wireless-G Router.  No problem...

I don't expect a WiiPhone will be any different.

Just remember that Skype requires a high-speed Internet connection (like most VoIP phones).  Skype uses a high quality Codec to encode voice (and encrypts connections) and thus, requires high-speed connection.  However, I only use a 256/128 Kbps Internet connection and most of the time it works great at that slower connection speed....

When you experience audio delays over VoIP connections, that is not usually anything to do with your local connection.  It is usually due to signal propogation delays over the long haul routes that VoIP takes to get to the destination being called and back.

Answer 2

Can I have more than one SkypeIn number?

Yes, users can have up to 10 SkypeIn numbers registered to their Skype account.

Each SkypeIn number must be purchased separately.

Directly added from the Skype page. I knew you could do it.

Now we use several skype phones but they are all at least this time on the same number. So while 1 phone is in use the whole account is in use and the other phones wont work until that phone call ends.   So get 2 phone numbers and then you can use more than one.

      Hope it helps and doesnt confuse.

Answer 3

the software wont let you do it!!

so I use one account on my laptop using vista.....and the other on win-doz desktop.....!

you cant even use someone else computer (my cousin has a skype account) to do it, I had tried that out too....no worky!

no, so far the wifi skype phone works the best...and crystal clear....

Well I don't know about Skype, but the company I use has its own Voip network in N. America and launches Europe this year.

What I do know is some friends in the States who have relatives in Europe got 2 voip phones kept one in the US and sent the other over to Holland, they chat to each other regularly but the American account gets all the bills.

As a plus the company now offers video phones, which have taken off in the US and are expected to be available in Europe sometime after March.
