Brazilian Consumers Can Now Receive Calls To Their Own SkypeIn Number From Any Mobile Or Land Phone Through Transit Telecom’s Network.
Global Internet communication company Skype and telecommunications operator Transit Telecom announced a deal that will launch SkypeIn to the Brazilian market. SkypeIn beta is a new Skype offering in Brazil that allows users to have their own private number, provided by Transit Telecom, to receive inbound calls from traditional landline or mobile phones to Skype.
“Brazil in particular is a country known for its early adopter attitude towards new innovations. Today, it is one of the top five countries in the world communicating through Skype,” says Skype’s Vice President, Strategic Partners, Geoffrey Prentice.
The free voicemail that comes with SkypeIn allows customers to receive a voicemail message of up to 10 minutes from any user or traditional phone. Skype Voicemail customers may record their own personalized voicemail greeting, playback their messages (even while offline), and send incoming calls to voicemail if they’re away, offline or simply busy on another call.
