VoSKY Call Center routes Skype calls to cellphones

Actiontec has announced a new product/service bundle called VoSKY Call Center which allows users to make Skype and SkypeOut calls on their mobiles by routing them through their home or work PC. The Call Center peripheral attaches to both a PC and landline and uses voice prompts on the remote end to control Skype features on the PC. One nice touch is the callback feature that notifies you when a previously offline Skype buddy signs in. Besides the consumer angle, the service is also being targeted at Internet cafes in broadband-sparse regions where locals could route VoIP calls through the cafe's connection for yet another fee. Remote Skype goodness is available now for $70, plus regular broadband, cellular, SkypeIn, and SkypeOut fees.
