With IM+ for Skype you can:
- Exchange instant text messages with your Skype contacts;
- Call any landline or mobile phone cost effectively using Skype credits;
- Call Skype contacts;
- Receive calls from Skype contacts and calls to your SkypeIn number;
- Get full presence status support.

HOW IT WORKS

When you make a call both the contact person and you will get the call. This is because when you use IM+ for Skype you are actually making two calls: one – to your Skype contact on PC or to a phone number and another – to your callback number.

Example 1.
Let’s say Mary is on IM+ for Skype, lives in Mexico and wants to call her college friend who now lives in China and has Skype on her PC. Skype call rate will be equal to destination rate for calling to Mexico-Mobile ($0.386).

Example 2.
Let’s say Mary is on IM+ for Skype , lives in Mexico and wants to call her college friend who now lives in China to his China phone number. To calculate the Skype call rate, just add the destination rate for calling to Mexico-Mobile ($0.386) and the destination rate to call China ($0.024). So the rate to call from Mexico to China via SkypeOut is $0.41.
