Flaphone announced SIP-to-Skype calls
Recently, the developers of the Russian web-based softphone flaphone announced the possibility of making Skype calls directly from the flaphone client. Let me remind you that flaphone is the new name for the Flashphone service, which I already wrote about earlier .
In order to call a certain Skype subscriber it is enough to call the number of the type: sip: skype_login @ skype. As a result, the subscriber will receive a call from Skype account «Flaphone». Naturally, in this case, the called subscriber should be enabled to receive calls from users who are not present in his contact list.

In fact, if you remember that the Flaphone is based on the SIP protocol, you can talk about the provision of the SIP-to-Skype service. which is in rather great demand, and recently it is provided by various services more often on a paid basis. Recently , the SIP-to-Skype function has become available in Gizmo , and in the vast runet you can find several similar offers.
In general, this is not the first attempt to make Skype calls using flaphone, but early experiments were conducted in closed testing mode, and the quality of calls was not enough for presentation to the general public. This time the company showed absolutely working service with very good voice quality. The call is almost the same as a regular Skype-to-Skype call.
It is very interesting that you can also send calls to Skype from the CallMe widgets provided by flaphone, which means that every visitor to your site who does not use the Skype client (they say they still remain :)) can instantly call you on Skype by simply pressing button on the site. Of course, he should have a headset or a usb phone at the same time.
ps We asked to clarify that the service is in beta testing. The number of lines and call times are limited.
