HOW DOES MyToGo for Skype WORK?
There are three special Skype Speed-Dial numbers that are used to determine who your Authorized callers will be when using MyToGo for Skype.
These Skype Speed-Dial numbers are 96, 97 and 98 are used to determine authorized callers into MyToGo for Skype and can be allowed to call other Skype Speed-Dial numbers as well as call telephone numbers and Check your Skype Voice Mail using MyToGo for Skype, if you allow.
Before entering any DTMF number from your phones, wait for the tone from MyToGo for Skype to let you know it is ready to accept your telephone number or Skype Speed-Dial numbers.
If you allow 96, 97 or 98 Skype Speed-Dial numbers which are also your MyToGo for Skype Authorized users, to check for Skype Voice Mail, which is done by checking or not checking the allow Skype Voice Mail retrieval box for any of the above Skype Speed-Dial numbers, then by default any Voice Mail which is new and has not been actually played from your Skype client on your computer by a human being, that MyToGo for Skype is running on, will always be played each and every time that 96, 97 or 98 calls MyToGo for Skype, and before 96, 97 or 98 can enter Skype Speed-Dial numbers or telephone numbers.
To change this, 96, 97 or 98 can call your SkypeIn number or your Skype Name, and enter the # key, after Skype Voice mails are played, or when MyToGo for Skype answers. Is should be noted, that if this is done, that Skype Voice mail played to any of your authorized users will not replay the same Skype Voice mail to any your other authorized MyToGo for Skype users. You can however toggle back the replay option at anytime, by having any of your authorized users 96, 97 or 98 enter # again, after Skype Voice Mails are played or when MyToGo for Skype answers and there are not any Skype Voice Mails to play.
The # key does end the call in both of the above cases, so if you need to still call a Skype Speed-Dial to call a Skype name for FREE, or wish to call a telephone number using Skype's low rates, you will need to call back your SkypeIn number or Skype name where MyToGo for Skype is running.
Any Skype Voice mail played by MyToGo for Skype will still reside on the computer that MyToGo for Skype is running on, until you delete it.
Please also remember that even if you did not have Skype Voice Mail, other Skype users that do can still leave you Skype Voice Mail. So it is possible to have received Skype Voice Mail from other Skype users, even when you have not purchased it.
How to Use MyToGo For Skype Example:
Note: Please remember that while testing or using these examples with MyToGo for Skype, and using your phone near your computer speakers, to please turn down your speaker volume on your computer when dialing into MyToGo for Skype from your phone, otherwise, MyToGo for Skype may hear the touch tone digits you are entering on your phone while you are testing MyToGo for Skype and from your speakers as well, which would not be the case normally.
You do not need to add all three of these special Skype Speed-Dial numbers if you only want to use one for example use one, it can be any of the three, but it must be one of 96, 97, or 98.
Add a contact to your Skype Contacts for your Cell Phone number, and also right click on it and assign Skype Speed-Dial 96 to it.
FYI, To add a Skype Speed-Dial number, right click on the contact you wish the Skype Speed-Dial number to be assigned, and choose Set Speed-Dial enter a Skype Speed-Dial number ("From 0 to 99, can be 00-99 as well") and Click OK, and the Skype Speed-Dial number is added. You will now see the Skype Speed-Dial number on the right side of your contact so you know it is there and assigned.
Add a contact to your Skype Contacts for your Home Phone number, and also right click on it and assign Skype Speed-Dial 97 to it.
Add a contact to your Skype Contacts for your Office Phone number, and also right click on it and assign Skype Speed-Dial 98 to it.
Now, when you call your SkypeIn number from your cell, home or office number, MyToGo for Skype will automatically answer the call, but just for these special Skype Speed-Dial numbers 96, 97 and 98. All other callers to your SkypeIn number or calling your Skype name would take the normal route they would otherwise.
Now, when any of these phones call your SkypeIn number they will be authorized to call any other Skype Speed-Dial numbers you set up.
Example:
Now, when you call your SkypeIn number ("While your computer is running Skype at home") for example, using your cell phone, Your SkypeIn number will answer, simply enter 3# and Skype will transfer your call to your parent's number.
It gets WAY Better!
Let's say you have a friend on Skype called Neil, and Neil has decided to have his Cell, Home and Office phone numbers in his Skype profile, and you decided to right Click on Neil's Skype name in your contact list and assign Skype Speed-Dial 04 to Neil.
Now, when you call your SkypeIn number using your cell phone, you have 4 choices on how to contact Neil.
04# Will call Neil using his Skype name, and for FREE, so your cell phone will be doing this:
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype -> Neil on Skype
04*1# Will call Neil's Cell Phone number from his Skype profile if it is there, otherwise it will call Neil using a Skype call.
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype Profile for Neil -> Neil Cell Phone
04*2# Will call Neil's Home Phone number from his Skype profile if it is there, otherwise it will call Neil using a Skype call.
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype Profile for Neil -> Neil Home Phone
04*3# Will call Neil's Office Phone number from his Skype profile if it is there, otherwise it will call Neil using a Skype call.
Cell -> SkypeIn -> Skype Profile for Neil -> Neil Office Phone
It's easy to remember just do it in alpha order, cell = 1, home = 2, office = 3
So not only can MyToGo call Skype names for FREE from other phones, it can call Skype names 4 different ways if they have their three phone numbers in their profiles as well.
Badly formatted entries when entered or invalid Skype Speed-Dial numbers ("Ones that have not been assigned") will automatically end the call, so that there is no time wasted on invalid entered numbers.
Skype Speed-Dial numbers 96, 97 and 98 can also be assigned to Skype names as well as your cell, home or office phones. But there is a limit of THREE phone numbers or Skype names to assign for this Beta version release.
There are 10 Skype Speed-Dial numbers that will not work with MyToGo for Skype:
They are 00,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99
Notice they are Skype Speed-Dial numbers that have the same digits, Example "22".
To avoid false DTMF recognition and dialing as much as possible when using inband DTMF over compressed VoIP calls on Skype, it was decided to avoid duplicate digit Skype Speed-Dial numbers for the initial beta release.
You can however assign these Skype Speed-Dial numbers and they can be used locally on your system by your Skype program, they just won't be used or recognized by MyToGo for Skype , which could be good if you wanted to isolate some Skype Speed-Dial numbers from MyToGo for Skype that can't be used remotely.
But....this still leaves you with 100 Skype Speed-Dial numbers to use ("0-9 & 00-99 minus the duplicate digit Skype Speed-Dial numbers") to call Skype names and other phone numbers from other phones using Skype. This is not even counting the additional numbers you can call if your contacts have their cell, home and office phone numbers in their profile. So you could be able to call as many as 400 phone numbers and Skype names depending on your contacts profiles.
FYI, Skype Speed-Dial numbers are just as easy to remove as they are to add. To remove a Skype Speed-Dial number, right click on the contact assigned the Skype Speed-Dial number you wish to remove, and choose Set Speed-Dial then clear the Skype Speed-Dial number and Click OK, and the Skype Speed-Dial number is now removed.
You can also call numbers directly, Skype Speed-Dial numbers 96, 97, and 98 now have a check box which you can check to allow that authorized user to dial phone numbers as well as Skype Speed-Dial numbers.
Telephone numbers are entered in the same format that you would enter the telephone on Skype including the country code minus two special differences.
a. You MUST always proceed a telephone number with a * so that MyToGo for Skype can distinguish between a telephone number being entered and a Skype Speed-Dial number. As with the Skype Speed-Dial number entry using MyToGo for Skype you must end the telephone number with #
b. When/If your telephone number has duplicate DTMF digits you must use a * to represent that digit.
Again, due to the potential problems with using DTMF inband with high compression codec's as is the case with Skype calls from PSTN phones and false DTMF recognition and dialing, there are special rules for telephone numbers that have duplicate DTMF digits. you MUST use an * for a duplicate digit in a telephone number, otherwise your number will NOT be dialed correctly. Here are some examples:
Actual Telephone Number MyToGo for Skype Telephone Number
16122709170 *1612*709170#
13125551212 *13125*51212#
13125552222 *13125*52*2*#
16513404792 *16513404792#
NOTE: The above methods are and have been formally copywritten by me, and cannot be used by others
MyToGo for Skype currently does NOT support leaving Skype voice mail to Skype names when they are called and are offline. When you call a Skype Name using a Skype Speed-Dial number via MyToGo for Skype it will ring and then the call will be ended from MyToGo for Skype when that Skype name is not online. It may seem like the call was answered, but it was ended, just say hello, and you will not hear a response, this is how you will know that the Skype name you called is not online.
If you cannot reach a Skype contact by their Skype name , if that Skype Contact has their Cell, Home or Office numbers in their profile, you can call those other numbers when you cannot reach them using their Skype name by calling MyToGo for Skype again and then using the * feature combined with the Skype Speed-Dial number to reach them using their other phone numbers published in their profile.
What If my Wife is at home and my cell phone is an Authorized MyToGo for Skype user, and I am trying to get my wife to answer my Skype call at home from the computer MyToGo for Skype is running on, won't MyToGo for Skype answer my call before she can hear it ringing?
There is a solution for this, simply add a Skype Speed-Dial number for your own SkypeIn number, when you want to ring your computer at home so that your wife, for example, can answer the call, simply call the Skype Speed-Dial number assigned to your SkypeIn number and this will allow her to hear your call ringing and to answer your call. The send unanswered calls to voicemail check box cannot be checked in the Skype options, calls, voice mail settings, for this to work when your Skype client is running.
Please make sure when you are calling into MyToGo for Skype that it is not from a noisy area, if it is very noisy where you are calling from when using MyToGo for Skype , try covering the phones mouthpiece when or if MyToGo for Skype is having any problems recognizing the DTMF digits you are entering on your phone.
MyToGo for Skype displays a complete history of times that Authorized users called, and what Skype Speed-Dial numbers, Skype names or telephone numbers were called as well as if MyToGo for Skype authorized users attempted to dial telephone numbers when they were not authorized and they were denied, as well as invalid Skype Speed-Dial numbers that were attempted. A complete MyToGo for Skype access history with access times.
The information history in the MyToGo for Skype log window can be saved at anytime by simply right clicking on the log window, then choose Select All, the choose Copy, and then paste to into a text window or email to save or send or print your current Skype Speed-Dial numbers in number order to carry in your wallet or purse.

All we ask is that if you buy Skype Services, from here when and if possible, please, simply click on the MyToGo for Skype links for those services in the MyToGo for Skype window, this will allow us to continue to offer MyToGo for Skype for FREE unlike other services which want to charge you to do what MyToGo for Skype does.

Please read the fine print on some other remote calling solutions for Skype on how there will be a fee or charge in the future, and most only work for some phones as well.
