7.0 Managing a SIP Profile
In this chapter, we’ll describe how to manage your SIP Prole. You can:
• Add a new channel subscription or change the channel subscription that you
purchased when you created your SIP Prole to ensure that you have the number of
calling channels that you need.
• Buy Skype Credit to take advantage of Skype's low cost global calling rates to
landlines and mobiles and if you call the US a lot, you can make even greater call
savings using our US minute bundles.
• Buy new Online Numbers or add existing Online Numbers to your SIP Prole to receive
calls from landlines and mobiles.
• Add business Skype accounts to your SIP Prole so people with Skype can call you for
free through Skype. Once you have added business accounts to your prole, you can
then add Skype buttons to your website or emails, so that customers using Skype can
call you directly with just one click.
• Set up Caller ID on your SIP Prole with certain Online Numbers or your company's
landline number (if your company’s been veried) so that customers and colleagues
know that you're calling.
You can also change the name of the prole or remove the prole completely when it
is no longer required. Reporting is also available so that you can monitor your Skype
Connect usage and control your costs in real-time.
7.1 Channel subscriptions
Channel subscriptions represent the amount of concurrent calling channels you would
like to use with your SIP Prole and are charged on a monthly basis. Skype Connect
supports up to 300 simultaneous calling channels, enabling up to 300 concurrent
conversations.
