Using 2 Skype phones at the same time

I recently purchased the RTX Dual phone 4088 which works like a dream.  We have several phone numbers through Skype and pay for the monthly plan for worldwide calls. 
My question is if I purchase a second RTX phone, can it be used at the same time as the other phone is being used?  We use the phone for business calls, mainly incoming, however, we are getting more and more calls and would like to have a second phone to be able to answer more calls at the same time.  Is this possible and if so, would it also work with 3 or 4 extra handsets?  All the calls are coming through on the same number so we don't really want to operate more than 1 account.
Any advice would be much appreciated before we purchase more handsets.

There's no proper way to do it - although forcing another instance of Skype as a different user seems to work... but test it thoroughly yourself before using with clients. Audio plays from both apps, not sure about mic. input. I'm not recommending it, and only tested briefly with Skype 6.3.59.602, but anyway...
For example - if you create another user account on the mac - named test, and after opening Skype as normal in your usual account, open Terminal & paste the following + enter
su test -c "/Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype &"; exit
you should be asked for test's password in Terminal, then another Skype will open, although you'll likely get a warning message or two (choose cancel).

  • Using gps and phone at the same time

    I am using the S6, great phone however I noticed today that I cannot use GPS (Waze app) and be on the phone at the same time.
    Is this really the case or am I missing something? I previously had the Galaxy S3 and I did not have an issue with this.
    Please tell me this is just a setting issue not an issue with the phone.
    Thank you

    This is standard for iPhone 5S on Verizon or Sprint (CDMA) carriers.  iPhone 6 can do simultaneous voice and data on Verizon, but not 5S. 

  • Using two Skype accounts at the same time

    I need to stay online under two different accounts, so that I can chat with two different classes of clients.
    As of today I can only alternate between users. Is there a way I can open two accounts at the same time?
    I'm on an Intel iMac, running OSX Mountain Lion.
    Thanks for any hints.

  • Free Goods (Use of Inclusive & Exclusive at the same time)

    Hi Gurrus,
    i have a scenario and i need your help.
    my company has started given free goods to the customers.
    Example,
    if a customer buy 4 PAC of material "A", He should get 1 PAC of Material "A"  and also 8 PAC of Material "B".
    That means I have to use Inclusive and Exclusive at the same time in one order for Material A.
    My requiremet is if the order booker enters 4 PAC of Material in an order so system should generate two sub item lines,
    1 PAC of Material "A" as "TANN" &
    8 PAC of Material "B" as "TANN".
    I have tried to capture this through VBN1 but system is only allowing me to enter either inclusive or exclusive condition record for one material.

    hi,
           ya, it is possible to create free goods for 1:n material for inclusive & exclusive for 2 materials.
    create a sale order  2 material with diff qty.& free goods for 2 diff qty for inclusive & exclusive
    Regards,

  • I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of A

    I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

    Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.

  • How to use 10 touch points at the same time ?

    I want to project game which use about 10 touch points? How can I use all of them at the same time ?
    Please give me a sample code.

    Firstly you must know how many touch points can accept your device. For example iPad and iPhone can't handle more than 5.
    1. Enable touch input mode by
    Multitouch.inputMode=MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
    2. Use same method as for mouse input but instead use TouchEvent API

  • Can we use exceptions and conditions at the same time?

    can we use exceptions and conditions at the same time? Are there any dependencies between exceptions an conditions?

    Exceptions are used when there are some mistakes , or exceeds the supposed values, we can highligt that in different colours for enabling the validator to notice easily. In this we are giving conditions for considering the value as exceptions. suppose, if the values is out of the range -1 to +1 then exception.
    But conditions can be considered as the restrictions given in measure level also. So please elaborate what you meant by conditions

  • How can i use offline & online database in the same time?

    how can i use offline & online database in the same time?
    my database in another server when the connection true it connect
    but if not does not work
    i wanna make offline database if the server not connected it connect offline then the server is on it alter all data from the offline to the server.

    User, please tell us your Jdev version!
    There is no such functionality build into the framework. The offline data base is only for designing the db, not to have a backup db.
    If you can't connect to the db the application will not work.

  • TS3367 My wife and i have 2  iphone 4s . since i installed ios6 face time calls  on both phones at the same time when friends try to face time me

    My wife and i have 2 iphone 4s. Since i installed ios6 face time calls on both phones at the same time when friends try to face time me.
    Also when my wife messages me her phone receives the message first in notifications bar 

    This sounds like an Apple ID problem.  Do each of you have your own Apple IDs?  Are they each properly set on each phone?  You might try logging out of Facetime and iMessage, then logging back in.  This often fixes connectivity issues.

    i recently buy an apple iphone 4s.the problem is that when i started music player on my iphone the speaker is not outputting the sound.and when i lock the phone at the same time the sound starts.thos problem is from last 3 days.and i am really confused???

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
