Skype Groups helps businesses and families

You might have heard of [Skype Groups](http://www.skype.com/products/skypegroups/) before. It is a tool that enables businesses and families to manage multiple Skype paid accounts. The main functionality of Groups is buying and distributing Skype Credit, SkypeIn and Skype Voicemail to members of your group.

Today, Groups moved out of beta and we added the new automatic credit distribution function. Automatic distribution lets you automate the allocation of Skype Credits to users' accounts, so they never run out of credits again.

During the beta period of Skype Groups, we had over 2000 companies signing up for the service. Did you know that 75% of the Skype Groups companies have less then 50 employees? Still, over 63% of them are conducting business abroad. So this really shows that with all these modern communication solutions, you don't have to be big to be an international company.

And the best of it all -- Skype Groups is free to use for everyone!

Sorry to make a support request here, but the regular support links are not working. I get no info that allows me to follow up on a request. Neither can I post anything in the forums. This is the only place that seems to work.....

As for this particular thread, please note that Skype Groups appears to be for Moneybookers only. There is no button shown for Paypal.

garnet_stone,

There are a number of payment methods for Skype Groups, the methods available to you depend on whether you meet certain requirements. More info about that can be found here:

Our group, Taru Village, Kenya, Africa, is

Some of our members use Cyber Cafes to connect.
Please advise on the best ways that people
in developing countries can use Skype.
Thank you,

Skype Grops is a great tool, but if Skype really want to penetrate into businesses we need to see functionality to manually forward a call (like a phone switch).
Also, a possibility to set up a group uf skype names where all available rings and the first that picks up gets the call... would be heaven for support and sales companies.
I love Skype!

Keep up the great work you are doing !
