    When your Skype is logged on your PC @ home and also turned on via your mobile while you're on the road & somebody Skypes you, which one rings, or do both? How does Skype differentiate between your PC & Mobile if both are logged on simultaneously?

    You can actually have 3 different items call at the one time. (as many as you want if you are logged into many PC's or internet enabled devices.
    I have Skype on the PC and iPhone, but I also have an online Skype number that I forward to my landline (at no extra cost) and pay a very small monthly fee for 70 minutes. If someone calls me on Skype and all are logged in, all 3 will ring together.

    But the beauty is my landline will ring if I am not logged in on any wifi/internet device.

    So theoretically speaking, you could be on the road with your Skype enabled iPhone & Skype logged on at home\office? A Skype call comes in, but before you get to answer it, someone at home\office has picked it up?

    Yes. It's just like have multiple phones in the home or office. Once it rings any one item can answer the call.
