Skype Now Supports Caller ID in USA

I recently discovered (by accident) that Skype  now supports caller ID in the USA. This is big news to me, because the “0000000″-s that come up on caller ID by default had prevented me from using Skype for routine business calls.  I pay a flat $2.95 per month for unlimited calling to the USA & Canada - hard to beat - especially when you consider the great call quality and conferencing features Skype offers. Now I make regular use of it!

In order for the caller ID to work, you need to pair your Skype account with a number that you want to appear as your caller ID. Skype allows you to choose between your cell phone number or an online number (SkypeIn) you can purchase for as little as $30/year when combined with one of Skype’s subscription plans. 

With this new feature, Skype  is now a great calling alternative or add-on to a regular calling plan.

Tip: Check out Pamela Systems’ Pamela Professional - a great feature add-on (Extras) to Skype that allows unlimited, high-quality call forwarding and expanded Skype voice mail features.
