Skype
Not sure anyone here uses Skype however I use different numbers for different campaigns. One of the issue I had was only being able to have one skype account opened at a time on my desk top.
Here is the solution.
In order to use more than one Skype account on the same computer at the same time you need to start a new instance of Skype:
1. From the Windows taskbar, click “Start†> “Run†(or press the “Windows†and “R†keys on your keyboard at the same time)
2. In the Run window, enter the following command (include the quotes) and press "OK":
"C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary
If you get any error messages, please copy and paste the exact command from this email and try again.
Please keep in mind that if you have changed the installation path for Skype then you need to enter the correct path for the Skype.exe file.
If this solution fails, you can try another option:
1. Find the Skype executable file (Skype.exe) in: C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\
2. Right click on it and choose: "Send to" > "Desktop (create shortcut)"
3. Locate the shortcut on the desktop, then right-click on it and choose "Properties".
4. In the Target field, add: /secondary
The Target field should now be: "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary
5. Click “OKâ€. You can now start a new instance of Skype every time you double-click on the new shortcut.
