If you have never seen, tried or heard of WiSPA before, WiSPA is a great add-on for Skype that enables you to keep in touch with your emails, Skype IMs, voice mail etc when you are traveling and away from your PC.

Simply tell WiSPA what’s important to you and it will send an SMS notification when it arrives to you mobile phone. Then phone your SkypeIn number and WiSPA will use text to speech to read back your message.

You can also ring your SkypeIn number and listen to all your emails, voice mails, IM etc so you need never be out of touch again.

My favorite feature is the ability to place Skype calls from your phone without having to install anything. Just phone your SkypeIn number from any phone, select the relevant menu option and Skype will create a conference call with you and the party you wish to speak to. Great if you are traveling and want to phone someone in another country on your mobile and don’t want to pay high call rates.

Watch Graeme from WiSPA showing me how this all works.
