The service requires no credit card info and not even software download are necessary. You just need a Skype account, select the city where you want the "Online Number" (there are currently more than 100 options), and Ring2Skype sends that Online number to your email. An online number is your own online personal telephone number people can call you on, but which you answer directly on your Skype. With an online number friends who aren't using Skype can reach you by dialing your online number - you receive and answer the call in Skype no matter where in the world you are. Although the service is still in beta mode, Ring2Skype works flawlessly and quite worthy service for off-shore offices, small businesses with global clients and even families with their love ones abroad. Allthewhile, I am waiting to get the service for India as well !!
