There are two common scenarios for this. You can call in from your mobile phone to the computer that the DPH-50U is connected to and make a low cost SkypeOut international call. This is useful if you are in the same geographical location as DPH-50U and want to make international calls.
The second common scenario is you Skype to the computer that the DPH-50U is connected to and make a low cost local call over the PSTN line. This is useful if you are traveling abroad and want to make a low cost local call (in the geographical location that the DPH-50U is in).
