TimeTo™ for Skype users

If you already use Skype (available free from www.skype.com) to make free or very inexpensive phone calls to anywhere in the World, you can use TimeTo™ to initiate Skype and SkypeOut calls.

There are three ways:

1. From any view, use the Skype Call button in the Dial command (from the Tools menu, or press Shift+A or the Dial icon on the toolbar) to Skype the phone number in the highlighted item, or to simply launch Skype.
2. Use triggers to launch Skype or SkypeOut calls from any item. You can also schedule calls for a particular time, and then when the time arrives, TimeTo™ will trigger the event and ask for you confirmation before proceeding to connect the call. For more information, please read about Skype within triggers.
3. Specify a Skype or SkypeOut address in the Also Dial option in the Alarm window of any item's properties, to have TimeTo™ start a Skype call based upon the alarm time for any item. You can set alarms based upon a number of minutes before or after the beginning or end an event, and so you can thus program TimeTo™ to call your cell phone via Skype to alarm you as to the beginning of a meeting, or to remind you that you have been working on a certain task for a certain amount of time.

WARNING: You cannot make calls to an emergency number or emergency service (e.g. 211, 911, 999) using Skype. To perform calls of this type please make sure to use a landline telephone or a cellular/mobile phone.
