Buying a Skype online phone number

I have an older version of MacOS X version 10.4.11 and my system won't upgrade. I have a US/Canada 2.99 mo subscription and I have no problems making outbound calls. I want to purchase an online phone number so people can call me. Do I have to purchase $60 credit BEFORE I have this option? As I have previously designated and clicked on the "ONLINE PHONE NUMBER" option - it takes me to the country, then the state, and then it just stops without going any further with subscription plans. CAN YOU HELP ME as nothing seems to work and I've spent several days trying - I think maybe my older version of Skype maybe the problem ...

If you are planning on using Skype Credit, you should purchase the credit before going through the process to purchase the Online Number.  Otherwise, you can use some other form of payment - credit card, PayPal, etc. - for the purchase. 
After you select the state, you should be taken to a screen where you can select the city and area code for your number, then search for a combination of digits you'd like in your number.  Or you can go with one of the suggested numbers, and you can usually click on a link for more available numbers to choose from in that city and area code.  You have to select a number here before you see the pricing and whether you want the number for 3 or 12 months at a time.  If you have the subscription you mentioned, you woudl qualify for the 50% discount.

  • How much is a Skype online phone number in Austral...

    The Skype website would have to be one of the most frustrating websites ever. It's a simple question. You have a product - what would it cost me to buy it?
    Why are you making it so difficult for me, your customer, to find out?
    I just want a simple answer without going through the entire number selection process to find out at the end.
    Even just asking this question requires 10 minutes of going around in circles.

  • How much for online phone number

     I was going to activate my skype account until YOU ASKED FOR MONEY! I then found where skype to skype is free but don't you have to have a calling plan which would cost me money and I found where a person has to purchase an online phone number but I can't find anything about how much this phone number would cost. 
      I have read way too many negative posts about skype, like people wanting to cancel their subscriptions but can't, being overcharged two or three times, or trying to cancel a reoccuring bill. I would like to know how I can remove all of my information from the skype files. Question: do you sell or rent our information to third parties?
      I will not be activating my skype account. What a waste of time this was.

  • Italian Online phone number

    Hello, I have an Italian online phone number since a couple of years. This summer I was notified by skype that this service will no longer be available in Italy. However on the support chat a staff member told me that all users that applied to the service before 28 October 2010 will have the possibilitie to continue using the service. Today I extended my number for another 12 months and I was regularly charged, but it's not working(when I try to call it the line drops) !!! Heeeeelp!!!! Thanks

  • Skype Personal Phone Number

    I just got a Skype personal phone number.  At least I think I did.  I selected a number and was told
    that this now was my new new number, but no panel flashed up for payment.  I have an annual
    subscription already so I figured that they just used my previous payment method.  
    I read the material about the personal phone number and how it works with mobile devices to
    be able to receive calls, but I didn't see any description of working with a desktop computer.
    Does the phone number work in regards to receiving non Skype calls?  I had my wife call me
    and there was no ring on the computer and I couldn't retrieve the message that she left. 

    i am meant to*
    received my phone number*
    typos, sorry

  • 1 Skype Business Phone number routes to agents ava...

    1 Skype Business Phone number routes to agents available to take calls.
    Just like in contact center setup.
    We want to use 1 skype business number then when calls come in - they are forwarded to available
    2-4 agents in our office.
    So 1 skype number - forwards to different skype users in the office to answer.
    Is there a feature we can pay for this?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Sign-up for Skype Manager, then setup a SIP Profile. Then get a IP-PBX or SIP server [I personally am using Brekeke Sip Server]
    Then have each UA REGISTER to the SIP or IP-PBX server [UAS]. If your Skype DID is forwarded to SIP # and called, it should forward via routing to any extension once they register ip-phones.
    Hope that helps,
    Kent C.

  • My online phone number

    To whom it may concern:
     I have my own online number that I got before. I worked normally and sometimes call forwarded to my cell phone number. now my friend called and informed me that my online skype number is not work and somebody in Hongkong answered to his calling phone. please let me know what is the problem. I need my number.
    my skype phone number is *edited for privacy*
    please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks. Farhad

    Hi, Mike,
    Thanks for posting back and for clarifying.  Please contact Skype Customer Service  to request your current Skype Number be tested and diagnosed.  If the issue cannot be resolved, please request a refund of your current subscription.  Unfortunately, you would then need to start a new Skype Number subscription.
    Please understand we here in the Community do not have access to the tools needed to correct or resolve, although we can point you in the right direction!

    If your Online Number is from one of the following countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), you can use it as your "Caller ID" number when calling telephones from your Skype account.  Log into your account using the "Account" link at the top of this page, and you will see (among other items) your current Caller ID Settings.  Click on the link to change that, and go from there.
    If your Online Number is not from one of those countries,  you won't be able to use it this way.  For the other countries, it can be either local/national regulations, limitations from Skype's partner that provides the Online Number service in a particular country, or some combination of those two possibilities.  You can use a mobile number that goes through a two-step process where Skype sends SMS messages to the phone (this requires a small amount of Skype Credit, in order to send those SMS messages).  Mobile numbers from Japan and Mexico can't be used this way.
