One such feature is call forwarding. This feature is available for free with Skype. You would have to pay for it if you requested your conventional phone company to install this feature with your everyday telephone. If you believe that you can only make PC-to-PC calls using Skype, do change your mindset. Call forwarding feature works even if the system is turned off. In the event of your system being switched off, you can set the call to be forwarded to any number you wish. This number can be either a fixed landline or a mobile phone. Therefore, this gives you the advantage of not missing any important calls.

Do you know that there is a feature called two-way video calling that is available within Skype? Using two-way video, both persons can see each other while talking, just like the webcam feature available in many instant messaging services like Yahoo! Messenger and MSN. Say for example, if you want to monitor your system in your absence, what you would do? Will you go and ask your family members if anyone used it or will you do a surprise visit? Forget these lengthy procedures. Simply create two Skype accounts. Keep one for work and the other for personal usage. Log into the home account and leave the webcam on. While you are at work, you can view the little video conference window and therefore keep an eye on your other system.
