If you don't have an account there is no easy way for someone to call you (and you to call someone else without an account). The account is what identifies you to the other Skype/SIP/Gmail users. In any case, you will need an account somewhere. Skype apps are available for phones as well. You can talk to people with Android phones and tablets as well as PCs, using WiFi (or wired Internet for PCs). It works without any download/install, (tested with Chrome browser). If you just want to talk and already have a gmail account, you can try Hangout. Unfortunately these are not free in either for Skype or for SIP service providers.
Unlike Skype, I found configuring SIP a bit more difficult, particularly because there are multiple SIP service providers and settings may be a bit different for each.īoth Skype and SIP allow calling regular phones and receiving calls from phones. By the same token person at the other end will need a SIP account too, not to mention a working and properly configured SIP client. So, no you won't need a Skype account to talk via SIP. As far as I know, Skype and SIP accounts are not compatible.
