Hi all,
I'm starting up a home business where I want to have different Skype online numbers for different purposes. I want them to all be activated at the same time, from the same account. What I mean is that I want to be logged in and I want all of these numbers to be reachable.
Is this possible? I do understand that if I didn't answer a call, it'd go to Voicemail.
Any advice appreciated, and Kudos will be given where due!

If you want to use different Online Numbers for different purposes (i.e., different voicemails for each number, or different call-forwarding settings for each number), you would want to create separate Skype accounts for each Online Number. Then you would have access to a separate voicemail and call-forwarding settings for each number. If you wanted to forward calls from each of those Skype accounts to different telephone numbers, you would need to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription for each of those accounts.
With a single Skype account, all Online Numbers on an account share the same voicemail and call-forwarding settings. You can have up to 10 Online Numbers on a single Skype account, and for individuals this may be adequate. For businesses, or for people who just want the flexibility of controlling each Online Number, this is where the number needs to be on its own account.
