One of Skype's GREATEST ASSETS is its inability to report your telephone
number you don't have to anyone...cops, Homeland Security, Council On
Foreign Relations, FBI, Illuminati, the spammers, whoever you call
including those goddamned 800 number bloodsuckers selling your
number....noone. Skype Out has no number and isn't hooked to Skype In
where the number you are given is in the SAME block of numbers as AOHell's
huge racks of dialup modems so the spammers don't waste their time dialing
modem after modem after modem selling nothing. Other than the errant,
irate British wifey calling me by error because my London phone number is
one digit off the number for the Hook And Nail Pub, which is more
entertaining than ANY computer software I own and wouldn't trade it for
anything, I've never gotten a single COLD CALL from even Experian wanting
to ask me about my credit rating....a great asset to the Skype system.
Nope....Skype in calls are forwarded through Skype Out so they all come up
with the number 000-123-4567, which I haven't tried to put into My Circle,
yet.
Every Skyper has the same Caller ID...(c;
