Skype VoIP calls are free, but if you want "PC-free" conversations (no strings attached to your PC, no headphones or Skype compatible phone), you better dig deep into your pockets to pay for this mobile Skype solution. The Mobigater is a device which transfers your Skype calls to your mobile phone via an internal SIM card. So, whether you are in front of your PC or not, you will probably never miss out a Skype call. But this also could get you in trouble especially if you don't want to answer to unwanted phone calls. Try telling your business partners you couldn't answer the phone because you're were AFK (away from keyboard) or AFC (away from country)! Right. It would never be a good excuse if they know you've got the MobiGater.

In an office environment, the Pro version lets you direct calls to multiple phones (up to 5). It also allows your partners or customers get in touch with different departments and employees using IVR (Interactive Voice Response).

All you need to get started is a PC with a permanent Internet connection, a Skype registration, your international SIM card that goes inside your mobile phone and another SIM card for the Mobigater (and don't forget the credit card). The main advantage is that you can talk to your Skype contacts worldwide at the cost of two SIM cards (one for your mobile phone and one for the Mobigater). It is recommend that you choose business, family or other mobile operator's plans that offer unlimited talk-time.
