With Skype you can make calls to anyone for free, if both people use Skype, or by paying a rather low rate in case the call comes directly to a person's cell phone number or landline number. Who uses Skype can also make sure not to miss the calls that arrive on their Skype account, even without keeping the Skype app installed or open and even if the phone is not connected to the Internet, making sure that the call is forwarded automatically to the mobile number . In practice, the caller can call us for free while we, if we have a Skype subscription or a credit to spend, will pay the forwarding to our number as if you were making a call, with the standard rates.
The advantage is to never lose calls received via Skype, thus obtaining the possibility of being able to be called by anyone without giving us our number, but simply adding it as a contact to our Skype account.

To activate the automatic call forwarding from Skype to the mobile number (or even to a fixed number), you need to open the Skype app on your smartphone, go to the calls section, press the numeric keypad icon and then touch the key gear to open settings . Here you will find the switch to enable call forwarding and the answering machine .
From the PC, you can open the settings by going to the website.skype.com/, where you can press the button with three dots to open the settings> Calls, where you will find the switch that activates call forwarding or forwarding .
In the Call forwarding options, you must check the box " Forward my calls to " and then write, in the text box, the phone number to which to divert Skype calls. Among the options it is also possible to forward calls to another Skype account or to voicemail, to listen to the messages left by those who cannot find us online.
If you enter a landline or mobile phone number, the call will be forwarded to it and the phone will ring as if you were receiving a normal call.
The telephone number entered must be written in the correct format, with the international prefix preceded by the +.
The costs are those of the normal Skype rates, therefore no more than 2 cents per minute if you make a Skype subscription of 7 Euros per month. Therefore, for call forwarding to work, you must have adequate credit on your Skype account. The person who calls will not pay anything because for him it will be nothing more than a normal Skype to Skype call. In the end, choosing to receive calls from abroad using Skype will cost significantly less than the cost that would receive a direct phone call on your mobile phone. This is also useful during a trip, to be called for free by parents or friends, paying very little in any country in the world.
Forwarding the call to another Skype account, on the other hand, does not cost anything, but it is not very useful unless you make a temporary account change.
