skype & non geographic numbers

Can someone tell me if it's possible to use skype to call non geographic numbers, i can't find this info on their site. I don't have a landline so i'm hoping that this will be cheaper via skype. I'm not interested in getting a skype in or out tel no, all i want to do is buy some skype credit & then make a few calls now & again. C'est possible?

  • You can use Skype for business with our 0800 to Skype-In service. You can use any of the non-geographic 03, 070, 0800, 0871, 0870, 0844, 0845 numbers for marketing campaigns and forward the incoming calls to your Skype-In number. You can take calls using your PC when you combine Skype with Non geographic numbers.

    I think OP was asking about calling out to non-geographic numbers, rhater thn forwarding from them to Skype-in.

    From experience, Skype out can reach a wide range of non-geographical numbers that are normally not accessible from outside of the UK. Very handy if you are abroad and need to call one of them.

    AND the same Skype out acct can call, for example, German special services that are normally only accessible from inside Germany, e.g. 01805 numbers there.
