SAN JOSE, Calif. CuPhone, a San Jose based provider of the world’s leading personal internet telephone products, today announced a new feature upgrade on their Personal Phone Gateway (PPG) to support «Skype to Phone» and «Phone to Skype» functions.

Enabling the «Skype to phone» function in the Personal Phone Gateway (PPG), Skype users can freely forward incoming calls to a pre-set phone number. This includes cell phones or land phones. The «Skype to phone» feature allows Skype users to never miss any calls and have the freedom to answer calls anywhere.

In addition, with the new PPG features, users also have access to the «Phone to Skype» function. Skype calls therefore can be made, while out of the office, to anywhere in the world for the cost of the call back to the office or home line that is Skype and PPG enabled.

The PPG is available today for a one off cost of only $29. CuPhone’s PPG supports Windows XP, 2000, ME, 98, and is fully compatible with worldwide phone systems that are FCC and CE approved.

In addition to the Skype phone gateway function, using PPG in conjunction with CuPhone’s USB internet phones, anyone can implement their own personal long distance call network and eliminate long distance carrier or «net phone» service provider charges.
