Skype and ShoreTel announced late last week that they have demonstrated interoperability between ShoreTel's UC system and Skype for SIP. ShoreTel’s enterprise customers can now register and use the beta version of Skype for SIP. The interoperability will allow ShoreTel's nearly 11,000 business customers to receive inbound calls from more than 400 million registered Skype users around the world at no cost to the Skype user.

Enterprises using ShoreTel UC systems can now direct outbound calls using Skype for SIP to landlines and mobile devices worldwide to take advantage of Skype's low rates. These same businesses can also purchase and associate online Skype numbers, which are available in more than 25 countries, with their ShoreTel UC system to receive inbound calls from landline and mobile phones.
