To purchase an Online Number ("Formally called SkypeIn") Click Here:
You may also want to make sure that you have SkypeOut credits to cover any connect charges and charges per minute.
This will allow ALL of your phones to make local and international phone calls at Skype rates, by using Skype remotely from those phones.
Of course when you use MyToGo for Skype to call a Skype name by calling your SkypeIn number, from ANY of your phones or to check your Skype Voice Mail, from your other phones, it's always FREE to do that. To purchase SkypeOut credits, Click Here:
There are three special Skype Speed-Dial numbers that are used to determine who your Authorized callers will be when using MyToGo for Skype.
These Skype Speed-Dial numbers are 96, 97 and 98 are used to determine authorized callers into MyToGo for Skype and can be allowed to call other Skype Speed-Dial numbers as well as call telephone numbers and Check your Skype Voice Mail using MyToGo for Skype, if you allow.
Before entering any DTMF number from your phones, wait for the tone from MyToGo for Skype to let you know it is ready to accept your telephone number or Skype Speed-Dial numbers.
If you allow 96, 97 or 98 Skype Speed-Dial numbers which are also your MyToGo for Skype Authorized users, to check for Skype Voice Mail, which is done by checking or not checking the allow Skype Voice Mail retrieval box for any of the above Skype Speed-Dial numbers, then by default any Voice Mail which is new and has not been actually played from your Skype client on your computer by a human being, that MyToGo for Skype is running on, will always be played each and every time that 96, 97 or 98 calls MyToGo for Skype, and before 96, 97 or 98 can enter Skype Speed-Dial numbers or telephone numbers.
To change this, 96, 97 or 98 can call your SkypeIn number or your Skype Name, and enter the # key, after Skype Voice mails are played, or when MyToGo for Skype answers. Is should be noted, that if this is done, that Skype Voice mail played to any of your authorized users will not replay the same Skype Voice mail to any your other authorized MyToGo for Skype users. You can however toggle back the replay option at anytime, by having any of your authorized users 96, 97 or 98 enter # again, after Skype Voice Mails are played or when MyToGo for Skype answers and there are not any Skype Voice Mails to play.
The # key does end the call in both of the above cases, so if you need to still call a Skype Speed-Dial to call a Skype name for FREE, or wish to call a telephone number using Skype's low rates, you will need to call back your SkypeIn number or Skype name where MyToGo for Skype is running.
Any Skype Voice mail played by MyToGo for Skype will still reside on the computer that MyToGo for Skype is running on, until you delete it.
Please also remember that even if you did not have Skype Voice Mail, other Skype users that do can still leave you Skype Voice Mail. So it is possible to have received Skype Voice Mail from other Skype users, even when you have not purchased it.
How to Use MyToGo For Skype Example:
Note: Please remember that while testing or using these examples with MyToGo for Skype, and using your phone near your computer speakers, to please turn down your speaker volume on your computer when dialing into MyToGo for Skype from your phone, otherwise, MyToGo for Skype may hear the touch tone digits you are entering on your phone while you are testing MyToGo for Skype and from your speakers as well, which would not be the case normally.
You do not need to add all three of these special Skype Speed-Dial numbers if you only want to use one for example use one, it can be any of the three, but it must be one of 96, 97, or 98.
Add a contact to your Skype Contacts for your Cell Phone number, and also right click on it and assign Skype Speed-Dial 96 to it.
FYI, To add a Skype Speed-Dial number, right click on the contact you wish the Skype Speed-Dial number to be assigned, and choose Set Speed-Dial enter a Skype Speed-Dial number ("From 0 to 99, can be 00-99 as well") and Click OK, and the Skype Speed-Dial number is added. You will now see the Skype Speed-Dial number on the right side of your contact so you know it is there and assigned.
Add a contact to your Skype Contacts for your Home Phone number, and also right click on it and assign Skype Speed-Dial 97 to it.
Add a contact to your Skype Contacts for your Office Phone number, and also right click on it and assign Skype Speed-Dial 98 to it.
Now, when you call your SkypeIn number from your cell, home or office number, MyToGo for Skype will automatically answer the call, but just for these special Skype Speed-Dial numbers 96, 97 and 98. All other callers to your SkypeIn number or calling your Skype name would take the normal route they would otherwise.
Now, when any of these phones call your SkypeIn number they will be authorized to call any other Skype Speed-Dial numbers you set up.
Example:
Now, when you call your SkypeIn number ("While your computer is running Skype at home") for example, using your cell phone, Your SkypeIn number will answer, simply enter 3# and Skype will transfer your call to your parent's number.
It gets WAY Better!
Let's say you have a friend on Skype called Neil, and Neil has decided to have his Cell, Home and Office phone numbers in his Skype profile, and you decided to right Click on Neil's Skype name in your contact list and assign Skype Speed-Dial 04 to Neil.
Now, when you call your SkypeIn number using your cell phone, you have 4 choices on how to contact Neil.
04# Will call Neil using his Skype name, and for FREE, so your cell phone will be doing this:
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype -> Neil on Skype
04*1# Will call Neil's Cell Phone number from his Skype profile if it is there, otherwise it will call Neil using a Skype call.
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype Profile for Neil -> Neil Cell Phone
04*2# Will call Neil's Home Phone number from his Skype profile if it is there, otherwise it will call Neil using a Skype call.
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype Profile for Neil -> Neil Home Phone
04*3# Will call Neil's Office Phone number from his Skype profile if it is there, otherwise it will call Neil using a Skype call.
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype Profile for Neil -> Neil Office Phone
It's easy to remember just do it in alpha order, cell = 1, home = 2, office = 3
So not only can MyToGo call Skype names for FREE from other phones, it can call Skype names 4 different ways if they have their three phone numbers in their profiles as well.
Badly formatted entries when entered or invalid Skype Speed-Dial numbers ("Ones that have not been assigned") will automatically end the call, so that there is no time wasted on invalid entered numbers.
Skype Speed-Dial numbers 96, 97 and 98 can also be assigned to Skype names as well as your cell, home or office phones. But there is a limit of THREE phone numbers or Skype names to assign for this Beta version release.
There are 10 Skype Speed-Dial numbers that will not work with MyToGo for Skype:
They are 00,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99
Notice they are Skype Speed-Dial numbers that have the same digits, Example "22".
To avoid false DTMF recognition and dialing as much as possible when using inband DTMF over compressed VoIP calls on Skype, it was decided to avoid duplicate digit Skype Speed-Dial numbers for the initial beta release.
You can however assign these Skype Speed-Dial numbers and they can be used locally on your system by your Skype program, they just won't be used or recognized by MyToGo for Skype , which could be good if you wanted to isolate some Skype Speed-Dial numbers from MyToGo for Skype that can't be used remotely.
But....this still leaves you with 100 Skype Speed-Dial numbers to use ("0-9 & 00-99 minus the duplicate digit Skype Speed-Dial numbers") to call Skype names and other phone numbers from other phones using Skype. This is not even counting the additional numbers you can call if your contacts have their cell, home and office phone numbers in their profile. So you could be able to call as many as 400 phone numbers and Skype names depending on your contacts profiles.
FYI, Skype Speed-Dial numbers are just as easy to remove as they are to add. To remove a Skype Speed-Dial number, right click on the contact assigned the Skype Speed-Dial number you wish to remove, and choose Set Speed-Dial then clear the Skype Speed-Dial number and Click OK, and the Skype Speed-Dial number is now removed.
You can also call numbers directly, Skype Speed-Dial numbers 96, 97, and 98 now have a check box which you can check to allow that authorized user to dial phone numbers as well as Skype Speed-Dial numbers.
Telephone numbers are entered in the same format that you would enter the telephone on Skype including the country code minus two special differences.
a. You MUST always proceed a telephone number with a * so that MyToGo for Skype can distinguish between a telephone number being entered and a Skype Speed-Dial number. As with the Skype Speed-Dial number entry using MyToGo for Skype you must end the telephone number with #
b. When/If your telephone number has duplicate DTMF digits you must use a * to represent that digit.
Again, due to the potential problems with using DTMF inband with high compression codec's as is the case with Skype calls from PSTN phones and false DTMF recognition and dialing, there are special rules for telephone numbers that have duplicate DTMF digits. you MUST use an * for a duplicate digit in a telephone number, otherwise your number will NOT be dialed correctly. Here are some examples:
Actual Telephone Number MyToGo for Skype Telephone Number
16122709170 *1612*709170#
13125551212 *13125*51212#
13125552222 *13125*52*2*#
16513404792 *16513404792#
NOTE: The above methods are and have been formally copywritten by me, and cannot be used by others
MyToGo for Skype currently does NOT support leaving Skype voice mail to Skype names when they are called and are offline. When you call a Skype Name using a Skype Speed-Dial number via MyToGo for Skype it will ring and then the call will be ended from MyToGo for Skype when that Skype name is not online. It may seem like the call was answered, but it was ended, just say hello, and you will not hear a response, this is how you will know that the Skype name you called is not online.
If you cannot reach a Skype contact by their Skype name , if that Skype Contact has their Cell, Home or Office numbers in their profile, you can call those other numbers when you cannot reach them using their Skype name by calling MyToGo for Skype again and then using the * feature combined with the Skype Speed-Dial number to reach them using their other phone numbers published in their profile.
What If my Wife is at home and my cell phone is an Authorized MyToGo for Skype user, and I am trying to get my wife to answer my Skype call at home from the computer MyToGo for Skype is running on, won't MyToGo for Skype answer my call before she can hear it ringing?
There is a solution for this, simply add a Skype Speed-Dial number for your own SkypeIn number, when you want to ring your computer at home so that your wife, for example, can answer the call, simply call the Skype Speed-Dial number assigned to your SkypeIn number and this will allow her to hear your call ringing and to answer your call. The send unanswered calls to voicemail check box cannot be checked in the Skype options, calls, voice mail settings, for this to work when your Skype client is running.
Please make sure when you are calling into MyToGo for Skype that it is not from a noisy area, if it is very noisy where you are calling from when using MyToGo for Skype , try covering the phones mouthpiece when or if MyToGo for Skype is having any problems recognizing the DTMF digits you are entering on your phone.
MyToGo for Skype displays a complete history of times that Authorized users called, and what Skype Speed-Dial numbers, Skype names or telephone numbers were called as well as if MyToGo for Skype authorized users attempted to dial telephone numbers when they were not authorized and they were denied, as well as invalid Skype Speed-Dial numbers that were attempted. A complete MyToGo for Skype access history with access times.
The information history in the MyToGo for Skype log window can be saved at anytime by simply right clicking on the log window, then choose Select All, the choose Copy, and then paste to into a text window or email to save or send or print your current Skype Speed-Dial numbers in number order to carry in your wallet or purse.
Unlike other solutions that want to charge you money for using their software, or require that you install software on your phone, or want to charge you a fee in the future, but are teasing you to let you use it free for now, or their solution will not work with all your phones, or worse, they want you to use your data stream on your cell phone, all these things will cost you more money in the end, to do what MyToGo does for FREE.
All we ask is that if you buy Skype Services, from here when and if possible, please, simply click on the MyToGo for Skype links for those services in the MyToGo for Skype window, this will allow us to continue to offer MyToGo for Skype for FREE unlike other services which want to charge you to do what MyToGo for Skype does.
Now for the very first time users worldwide can enjoy talking to their Skype contacts for FREE and checking their Skype Voice Mail for FREE and calling phone numbers using Skype's low rates from ANY touch-tone phone. Including the iPhone of course.
Once installed, MyToGo for Skype can also be started again by clicking on Start on your Windows Toolbar and then choosing All Programs and then selecting MyToGo for Skype then selecting MyToGo. If Skype is not started yet, MyToGo for Skype will automatically start Skype.
To remove MyToGo for Skype from your system, simply go to Add/Remove Programs in your Windows Control Panel, at anytime, and select MyToGo for Skype.
Please remember, what makes MyToGo for Skype different and unique and the best solution for remote calling access to Skype is the fact that it is a TOTAL solution that works with every phone you have, and from anywhere in the world, not just some phones, like other solutions offer, ANY phones, and there are also no service fees to use MyToGo for Skype, like some others will start charging soon. Please read the fine print on some other remote calling solutions for Skype on how there will be a fee or charge in the future, and most only work for some phones as well.
So, ask yourself, do you want a TOTAL remote calling solution for Skype that can be used for some or ALL of your phones and for FREE? If your answer is a FREE and total solution that works with ALL your phones, then MyToGo for Skype is your only TOTAL solution for remote calling with Skype.
All we ask is simply purchase Skype services via the MyToGo for Skype window from time to time as needed and that is enough for us. You will be on the honor system for that, but we trust you.

SMFS - ("Subscription Monitor For Skype")
Skype recently has changed something, I am working to resolve what was changed.
Because of this change that Skype made, It is normal to fail logon, attempts, using SMFS, please be aware of this. Your logon and password is FINE, it is because of the change that Skype has made, that SMFS fails to logon, your Skype logon and password, is OK
Well. You asked for it you got it and it's FREE!
SMFS - The ("Subscription Monitor For Skype") works with all 10,000 monthly minute type subscriptions and requires no setup to use from any location in the world. SMFS is passive, it does NOT restrict ANY Skype service if any subscription limits are exceeded, it is informative in nature.
SMFS is the ONLY real-time and accurate method to calculate what your current real-time Skype subscription call minutes are day by day as well as monthly and how many different numbers you have called, using your subscription on any given day. This becomes important because......
Click on one of the Pictures to Download/Install NOW!
Recently, Skype modified their FUP - "Fair Usage Policy".
Skype now has defined more limits for Subscriptions. They are:
10,000 Minutes Per Month.
Maximum of 6 Hours (360 Minutes per Day).
No more than 50 different numbers, in total, can be called per day.
Once these limits are exceeded, Skype will charge normal rates and a connection fee for any additional minutes used.
Here is the direct link to the Skype FUP: Click Here
Daily limits only apply to "Unlimited" subscriptions, all other types of subscriptions can use the Subscription Monitor for Skype" to monitor minutes used.
If you call more than 50 different telephone numbers in one day, or 10,000 Minutes of call time using your subscription minutes, your subscription will be suspended, until the first day of the next month, using GMT 0 as the time. So for example, if you made more than 50 calls to 50 different numbers on April 7th, 2009 and you were located in Minnesota, your subscription would be suspended until April 30th, 2009 8:00PM which is May 1st, 2009 GMT 0.
If you exceed 360 minutes in one day or 6 hours of subscription call time in one day, then your subscription will be suspended until the next day, which is GMT 0. So, if you exceeded 360 minutes in one day on April 7th at 3:00PM, you would be suspended until April 7th at 8:00PM which would be Midnight GMT 0.
ok, so what, who needs a Subcription monitor?
There are a few reasons why you would want a subscription monitor, here are a the major reasons:
Your Skype call history stored on your Windows system ONLY reflects the calls you made on that individual Windows system.
Example: If you use Skype on more than one computer, in your home, at work, at friends homes, you can't get the total call history from those systems, if you have used more than one system during that day or that month.
If you use call transfer, you cannot get any information on the length of any transferred call, even from the system that transferred the call. If you use Skype To Go or router based Skype devices there also will be no local call history on any computer.
Of course you can go view your call history by logging on at the Skype web site and viewing your call history, but you had better have a pen and paper, and a good calculator, because:
Both Daily and Monthly Subscription Limits are based on GMT 0. Meaning, for example, If you live in Saint Paul, MN, where it is GMT -6 hours, the old day ends and the new day starts at 18:00 or 06:00PM
The month of March for example for Skype Subscription limits started on february 28th at 18:00/06:00PM NOT March 1st at Midnight.
There is no rounding of minutes with subscription minutes like there is with SkypeOut credit, so this is why seconds are displayed as well.
"The Subscription Monitor for Skype", does NOT require a Skype client to be running. So, if you want to keep track of your minutes used at work and at home, or at a friends house, you can run "The Subscription Monitor for Skype" even before starting Skype to check what your current minutes are.
"The Subscription Monitor for Skype" refreshes automatically, every 30 minutes. There also is a "Update Now" button that when pressed will update your Subscription limits at anytime as well.
Since "The Subscription Monitor for Skype" does not require a Skype client to run, you can monitor ANY Skype name at anytime, even if you are logged on as another Skype name, even if you use a Linux or a Mac normally, or any combination of different Skype devices, Skype To Go, computers and/or computer platforms during the day or month, but have access to a Windows based system at the moment, you can view your current Skype subscription values in real-time for the day as well as the entire month.
"The Subscription Monitor for Skype" allows you to save your Skype name and password, so that each time "The Subscription Monitor for Skype" is started it will automatcially start getting Subscriptions for the last Skype name when it was used the last time it ran. "The Subscription Monitor for Skype" stores passwords locally on the computer in question, using safe encryption methods.
This is an optional feature, and can be disabled, by clicking the "Config" button and unchecking the "Save" Check Box. If the "Save Check Box is checked, "The Subscription Monitor for Skype" will remember your Skype name and password, and when started each time will begin to display the current values of your Subscription usage and limits.
You can change the Skype name and password at anytime to look at other Skype names Subscription usage without stopping "The Subscription Monitor for Skype" by simply clicking on the "Config" button and entering a new Skype name and password, and then pressing the "Validate" button.
You will then see the current Subscription Limit values for the new Skype name and password you entered and validated.
"The Subscription Monitor for Skype" uses a video display icon, located in the System Tray, when all your limits are under roughly 90 percent usage, a video display icon with a green screen is displayed in the System Tray:
Daily Different Numbers Max 50 less than 45
Daily Call Minutes Max 360 Less than 324
Monthly Call Minutes Max 10,000 less than 9000
"The Subscription Monitor for Skype" uses a video display icon, located in the System Tray, when one of your limits are at roughly 90 percent usage and more, a video display icon with a yellow screen is displayed in the System Tray:
Daily Different Numbers Max 50 greater than 45
Daily Call Minutes Max 360 greater than 324
Monthly Call Minutes Max 10,000 greater than 9000
"The Subscription Monitor for Skype" uses a video display icon, located in the System Tray, when one of your limits are at roughly 95 percent usage and above, a video display icon with a red screen is displayed in the System Tray:
Daily Different Numbers Max 50 greater than 47
Daily Call Minutes Max 360 Less greater 342
Monthly Call Minutes Max 10,000 greater than 9500
If any limit violations have taken place anytime during the current month, they will be displayed in local date and time, and the subscription violation that took placed will be listed.
All subscription violations are listed from most recent to earliest violation this month. The date time listed as the violation date and time is when the last call that had no violation was made that day, or that month, depending on the violation. You can verify this by looking at your online call history at:
If you see one violation displayed, click on the arrow to view any other violations, there maybe more than one violation, if you do not see the word "None" displayed in the violations box.
If there are no subscription violations this month, then none will be listed.
This was done for those who may have violated the subscription limits in the past and were NOT using SMFS, but are today, since SMFS shows current subscription values for today. They might not know without this feature why their subscription was suspended, since SMFS only shows todays totals and monthly totals.

SEHE Also Known As The Skype Event Handler Example
SEHE was created for developers but has many uses, not only does SEHE show what goes on behind the scenes of the Skype client, it is also a GREAT test tool and excellent example of using the Microsoft C# 2008 Express edition to interface to Skype, which is free as well as showing Microsoft ClickOnce Technology in use for installing applications from a web server as well as auto-updating them as often as required.
The entire Microsoft C# 2008 project including source is available once SEHE is installed and the "Click for Help with this program link" in the upper left of the SEHE program window is clicked on.
For more information, simply click on any of the pictures of SEHE below, download and install SEHE and then click on the "Click for Help with this program link" located in the upper left of the SEHE program window. SEHE can be removed at anytime using the Add/Remove programs option from you control panel:
