However, have you every thought about to use these FREE SIP accounts with FREE Minutes to make FREE Calls from Skype? Is it workable? The answer is YES. It is wiser to know how to fully use the free calls resources you've known than to try to look for every new ones. So, how to make free calls from Skype with SIP accounts? Just follow the steps below, very easy:

Tools:
1. One Skype, PC or Mobile also works 
2. One Free Tropo account (Function: Gives a number to call from Skype free and Forward to SIP account)

4. One SIP accounts with Free Minutes

Done! Enjoy!
Next we will talk about how to make free calls from Skype by using access number which has free minutes


Solve Problem:
Some of my readers told me it didn't work well, it hung up itself after entered the phone number at skype dial pad, sometimes, I had the same problem, and I found out that the skype access number 
e.g:+990009369991480655 or 00990009369991480655 worked not well at skype dial pad, however, if you dial the sip address or a USA virtual phone number of the tropo application, it worked just perfect, however, if you want to use Skype, there is a way, if the above application is No.1, then add a new application No. 2 at tropo with the below code: (callerID can be any 10 digits USA phone numbers, you can change it)

result = ask("Welcome,dail the number you wish to call", { choices:"[10 DIGITS]", timeout: 10.0, attempts:5, mode:"dtmf" }); say("Connecting you now"); transfer(result.value,{callerID:"3175221000", playvalue: "http://www.phono.com/audio/holdmusic.mp3", terminator: "*" });
Then get a USA virtual number at your Tropo app No.1, use your skype call this skype voice number of app No.2, when prompt, enter the USA virtual number at Tropo app 1, the USA virtual number, when prompt, then you can enter the international number to call. It works.
