  • I got one India toll free number starting 1800 can I call to that number using my Skype account

    I got one India toll free number starting 1800  . Is it possible for me to make call to that number using my Skype account ?

    If it does not work, I do not believe it is supported.  According to the Skype FAQ only these countries are currently supported (with no timeline for other countries): https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA24 Viewing the Pay as you go rates for India, India toll-free is not listed while other countries that are supported are listed. IndiaCalling - per minute 1excl.

  • My Skype to Go Number Incompatible with Skype

    It's also happening to me.
    Around two month ago I started using MagicJack, everything works good with the phone, even when I call out US to my favorites/registered skype numbers works fine; but for no registered/favorite number I need to call through my (local) main sjype number this (Majicjack) tells me "to call a conference line or platform visit us to MajickJack-dot-com to purchase pre-paid minutes"; why????
    How could you fix this????
    Subject/title edited for clarity.

    Here's a transcript of a 'conversation' I had with the Magic Jack people in regard to this problem.
    Please wait for a site operator to respond.
    You are now chatting with 'Shane'
    Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK11153080006720X
    Shane: Hello, how may I help you?
    Shane: We use Tech Chat to better assist you. By using Tech Chat, we can send you instant upgrade links and run several diagnostic tests, that cannot be done over the telephone. We are also able to see where you are located, what OS and Internet browser you are using. Lastly we can see that your Internet connection is working too.This will provide the best Customer care experience and keep you most satisfied.
    Shane: Hello, how may I help you?
    John: When calling 661-748-xxxx I receive the following msg "Please go to my.magicjack.com/prepaid and purchase prepaid minutes to call conference calls, platforms and this number 2 cents per minute" This is a Skype phone with a California area code. Why do I get the above msg?
    Shane: Let me explain
    John: Please do
    Shane: When you hear this voice prompt calling certain US/Canadian number, it doesn't mean that you cannot call that certain number. However, in order for the call to connect in that line, you have to purchase International Prepaid Minutes. It is because the number you are calling is identified as one of the following lines : Platform line, Conference line, Fee-per-call, or a Non-ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier) phone number. You may wonder what are these type of services/lines. These are type of lines where "per-call toll charges" are incurred by telephone service subscribers that you are calling.
    John: So if ' "per-call toll charges" are incurred by telephone service subscribers that you are calling. ' is the case then they (the subscribers) pay the charges - why is MJ asking me to pay?
    Shane: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
    Shane: It may depend on the other phone carriers end if calling a magicjack number would incur charges, but if magicjack calls this certain numbers, then you will need to get Prepaid minutes to connect.
    John: So what you are saying is that MJ users have to pay 2 cents a minute to call any Skype user?
    John: And presumably this is a Skype problem??
    John: because of the way they have defined their phone numbers?
    Shane: oh if this is a Skype number, that won't usually work sinec VOIP to VOIP calls from magicjack will not work properly
    John: I see, thank you for the info - I will forward this info to the Skype user in question. Have a fine day. John A.
    Shane: You are most welcome, I hope somehow I assisted you with your concerns, have a great day ahead, God bless,
    Further to the above, in this case, the Skype caller, when calling my magic number would be 'connected' briefly and then nothing.  At the MJ end, the MJ phone would ring, the Skype caller's phone number would be displayed but there was no voice communication between us.
    So there you have it.

    Someone broke into my account, and bought 90 euros worth skypecredits,

    Hi, TheEmperor123, and welcome to the Community,
    This FAQ article provides next steps:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10946/what-should-i-do-if-my-account-is-suspended-hacked-or-compr...
    Please see the section titled, "Hacked Accounts."  Please also sign on to your Skype account dashboard to ensure that your account's registered e-mail address is correct and accurate.  Change your account password if you have not already done so - the easiest way to accomplish this is from within the software or app.  In the Windows Desktop version, it's Skype -> Change Password.
    You will be directed to contact Skype Customer Service for assistance.  These tips may be helpful as Skype is experiencing continuing problems with the websites:   If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
    Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.

  • Cannot Call 0800 or 0845 etc. numbers using Skype ...

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to call a UK 0800 or 0845 Number using the Skype Connectme Box, the line goes dead after an initial couple of seconds of the usual "skype warbling".
    I have tried dialling the number as is - I.e. 0800 123456 and also using the UK codes with and without the leading zero  - I.e. 00 44 0800 1234546 and 00 44 800 123456.
    The Skype Connectme is NOT connected to a normal landline - It is Skype only.
    When dialling using the Skype system on my Windows Laptop, the calls go through perfectly.
    As I need to call these types of numbers regularly, can someone please tell me what the solution is ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Ros

    I don't believe what I said was incorrect in whole.  In the past 10 years countries (including Egypt) and several ISPs have handled Skype differently throughout the years.  Toll-free numbers do filter their calls, even I filter my calls with my call forwarding service for my virtual home number separate from my Skype number.
     If what you are saying is correct then that would fall under the category of steps taken to prevent abuse and fraud.  If a decision like that was made, it may have also been made at the behest of others and was probably not made lightly.  A deny of that nature may supersede the ability to allow an individual account to be waived.  Even if it could be, the abuse rate may be so high and sporatic even by multiple appearingly good, long standing accounts that it may make the ability to allow virtually unmanageable.  
    It sounds rather unfortunate in this case that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.  The only time I've personally come across a seemingly global restriction on a set of numbers by Skype, is when it was actually followed by the error message "You can't call this number on Skype right now".  I would hope you would have received a similar error of that nature alluding to a restriction in place but then again that might not be an option for a regionally or IP deny range.  I don't know if a proxy or VPN tunnel would change things or be a viable solution for you.
    Toll-free numbers generally have some form of toll number counterpart or alternate means  of communication.  The only major downfall of that is having to pay for that toll call.

  • Suddenly can't make calls to my skype to go number...

    Thank you
    If you are trying to call telephones, you still need to have Skype Credit on your account or pay for a subscription.  Calls to telephones from Skype are not free, even if you have a Skype To Go number. 
    Skype To Go is an alternative for making calls when you are not able to use the Skype program or app to log into your computer.  By itself, you do not gain any privileges for calling telephones.  That's where the Skype Credit or a subscription come into play, covering those charges.

  • Can't Receive Calls to my Skype To Go Number

    We recently purchased a year long unlimited calling plan AND a skype to go number.
    Unfortunately, no one can call my number. Sometimes they receive a busy signal, other times it just beeps once and hangs up.
    Can you tell me why this is happening and how can we fix it so that I can receive calls to my to go number???

    If you mean "Online Number" please do the following:
    First check your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in. Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone". Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in.

  • Can I call a Skype to Go USA number from my Skype ...

    Hi There,
        I'm travelling to Europe (France & Spain) from India. Since Skype hasn't started the Skype to Go in India, I was thinking of going for a Skype to Go number in the USA, which my family will call from their existing Skype credit (through WiFi on iPhone). One Skype to Go number of the USA will be configured to call France and another to call Spain.Therefore, when someone calls my USA number (either through a landline in India or through Skype), it will be routed to my France/Spain local mobile number, which I will purchase on arrival. I wish to know if this (calling from Skype to the Skype to Go number) is really possible. If not, what can be the solution. Also kindly suggest any alternate route other than the USA which will be more reasonable.
    One may ask why take so much trouble, and rather not call directly from Skype to the local France/Spain mobile number. The issue is that I wish to be accessible to other important people who do not use Skype, and will call from their Indian landlines to the USA (caling from India-USA on landline is quite reasonable compared to other countries). I will share my Skype to Go numbers with whom I want to be in touch when abroad. 
    I chose USA since India-USA on Skype/Indian landline is cheap & USA-Europe is again reasonable with unlimted packages on Skype pay as you go. Please get back to me.

    When I call using my skype online number, caller id shows the correct number but also displays someone elses name.  How can I remove the name? 

    I have the same problem. Although I have my Caller ID set to show my Skype Number businesses tell me they're seeing area code 559 with a random/different last 4 digits each time. I just went through an account verification with a vendor and it was impossible to get them to verify - kept telling me I need to be calling from the number they have on file.
    Come on Microsoft. There's no way to actually get support (for a paid product no less), let alone see anyone participating in support (hic) forums to resolve countless issues that others are reporting.

    Please remember the purpose of a Skype Number is only for people to call you - a Skype Number is a fixed or land line number, and you answer the incoming calls on SKype.  You would need a Skype subscription or Buy Skype credit in order to place calls from Skype to fixed or land line numbers and mobile numbers.
