This just in, Skype has finally figured out how to save your big money on long distance. How does it work? Well you have to first purchase a small box (router like) that attaches to a desktop computer. The box then routes all calls over the Skype network.

The SkyQube Squared from Qool Labs is a VoIP gateway that enables you to forward calls and messages made to your mobile phone or landline via SkypeOut to another number anywhere in the world.

With the SkyQube² (PSTN interface +GSM interface) you use your SIM and slot it into the SkyQube. Any calls made to your phone are sent over the SkypeOut network to a phone wherever you choose. You could send them to a landline abroad, for example, or buy a pay-as-you-go SIM in the country you're travelling in to receive calls.

You only pay for the SkypeOut charges, and your friends call one phone number since all you need is a regular landline, mobile or Skype number. It also forwards on your mobile's text messages and lets you reply to them, and saves voicemail when you can't receive a call, compressing it into a WMA file and emailing it to you.



Another version, simply called the SkyQube, has the same features but without the SIM card. This lets you re-route calls to your landline phone over SkypeOut.

Both versions work in conjunction with the SkyQube software you can download for free. Even without the box, the software lets you record calls, receive voicemail and send SMS via SkypeOut.
