Have you ever wanted to get woken up by a wake up call like at a hotel? Don't use those wake up call services where you have to pay $1-3 per call. With this really easy and 100% free "hack" you can set Skype to call you. You can use this to call anyone at any scheduled time...
Difficulty: Easy Requirements: Step 1: Download and Install the latest version of Skype
Step 5: The Wizard will open up, just click next. You might be asked to enter an admin account and password to setup a task - Enter you info and hit next Step 9: Leave that stuff default and click next. Step 11: In the Run Box, at the end, add: /callto: phonenumber, ex: "callto:+18005555555". { note - there is no space between the : and phonenumber}
Step 12: Either click the Schedule tab to fine tune scheduling (MWF only, etc) or click Finish. To Test: Right click on the newly made task, and click "Run"
If you like to keep Skype up and running you will need to allow pass through calls. Do this by opening skype --> go to : tools --> options--->advanced.
Enjoy your free wake up call, keep in mind it will just ring, there will be no one on the other end. |
