How to dial normal phone numbers with Skype under Linux
Skype is the most popular VoIP provider and Skype just released version 2 under Linux that introduced free video calls, which is a feature everyone’s been asking for. However, the way to use Skype dial normal phone numbers under Windows doesn’t work well under Linux.
According to 93free, here is the dialing rule of Skype under Linux:
Don’t select country/region to call, and use
For example, the original number is +86－13579246800, then the number to dial for Skype under Linux should be +99008668080-13579246800.
The questions is that I am not sure how this rule can be applied to other countries. Anyhow, though Skype is not an open VoIP standard as SIP, its ability to make video VoIP calls with proxy makes it unique…
Can u please tell me why it can’t work well on windows?.Yeah i hv heard abt it’s new videoconferencing features.
