Small businesses can distribute such VoIP functions as conference calls to employees. Skype debuted Skype Groups on Tuesday, a service that lets small businesses provision Skype’s VoIP-based calling services to a group of employees.

A central administrator can buy and distribute free and premium Skype services among the people in the group, which can also include customers and suppliers, from a web-based interface, according to Saul Klein, vice president of marketing at Skype, recently acquired by eBay.

The administrator creates the account and deposits money, which can come from an eBay PayPal account, credit card, or bank transfer.
