Skype and ReadyConference: suddenly silent

Since I’ve been working from home a lot more lately, I signed up with Skype so I could make calls from my laptop. I did the Skype Pro plan for 3 bucks a month for unlimited outgoing calling.

For the past two months, I’ve used it every week for a conference call through ReadyConference. Last week, it stopped working. Skype dials the number, it rings, and ReadyConference drops the call. I’m not sure why, but I suspect it has something to do with the way Skype handles the call.  Perhaps ReadyConference requires caller id, which Skype doesn’t do unless you pay for an incoming number.

So, curse you, ReadyConference!
