Call forwarding lets you forward your Skype calls to voice messaging, a landline or mobile number, or another Skype contact. To set up call forwarding:

Sign in to your account.
In the Manage Features section, select Call forwarding.
Select the button to enable call forwarding and then select how many seconds to forward calls after.
Choose voice messaging, another Skype account (enter the Skype Name) or a mobile or landline number (select the country or region and enter the phone number).
Select Confirm.

Your incoming calls will be forwarded even if you're not signed in to Skype.

How much does Skype call forwarding cost?

It’s free to forward incoming Skype calls to another Skype contact. You just need to have that contact in your contact list.

To forward your incoming calls to a mobile or landline, you’ll need a little Skype Credit or a calling subscription that covers the country you want to receive the forwarded calls in. If you use Skype Credit, forwarded calls are charged at Skype’s low per-minute rates.

The person who is calling you on Skype doesn’t pay anything.

How many numbers can I forward my Skype calls to?

You can choose up to three mobile or landline numbers worldwide, or you can choose to have calls forwarded to another Skype contact in your contact list. Just select add another number to add more phone numbers or another Skype account.

Can I forward calls made to my Skype Number?

Yes. If you’ve set up call forwarding, calls to your Skype Number will also be forwarded.
