Is it legal to have a USA Skype nr, but living in ...

Dear Skype Community, I live in Canada, but would like to get a Skype number. Since Canada is not supported I was thinking about getting a US Skype number. My question: is this legal or not? I have never lived in the US but I would like to get a Skype number so that my friends and family can call me.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes it is legal and call charges from around the world to call the USA & Canada are usually the same, so it shouldn't make too much difference to people calling you from abroad.

  • I have recharged my Skype credit, but still can't make a call

    I was previously subscribed the Malaysia 400 mins, 1 month call to mobile numbers, and it worked totally fine. But after I finished the minutes, I did recharge again to get another 400 mins call, and the amount was deducted from my bank account. It means that Skype has received the payment. But, I still couldn't make the call, and a message says that I need to recharge appeared after every called I tried to make. Somebody please share a solution. Thanks in advance.

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    Your account shows that you have used your full minutes allocation in your current billing cycle and your next minutes will be added to your account when your next billing cycle starts on August 16th 2015.
    Renewing your monthly Subscription before your billing cycle ends has no effect on the date upon which your minutes allocation will be added to your account.
    To continue calling until your next minutes allocation is applied to your account please purchase either a Subscription but with a different amount of minutes or Skype Credit.

  • I have a USA DVD which I would like to play on my macbook pro. How can I do this without having to use up options to convert between regions which are limited

    I have a USA DVD which I would like to play on my macbook pro without using up the options to switch regions. Is there a way to do this?
    Also can it be done through a DVD player attachment to an Ipad?

    program called MDRP to rip it......  then use Wondershare to convert it, also Iskysoft video converter is an option.
    You dont have to put it ON the Ipad, once on the Mac, you can Stream it wifi to the Ipad using the $2 program called VLC STREAMER (not VLC, but streamer made by VLC),.... best APP for your Ipad to stream videos from your MAC to your Ipad.

  • I have problems with skype

    I have problems with skype I can not get to the phone on a stationary Russia. why?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what problems with iPhoto are you having?  Describe in detail.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Northern Colorado, USA - Skype number has been dis...

    As with the others here, our incoming Skype number rejects all calls with "You have reached a number that has been disconnected." or something equivalent, depending on the calling carrier. There's no way to do any workaround like forwarding or voicemail, as the call is rejected at the very incoming level. We've had this number for over 4 years, and now it's useless. There is plenty of credit sitting there in Skype Manager, so there's no reason from our end for it to be disabled.
    I already have an escalation with Skype support that has been in for 1.5 days so far with no effect on the problem.

    Hello Elaine,
    Thank you for your assistance. Since we became aware of the outage at approximately 9AM, Dec. 24 US Mountain Time, I have been making use of Skype support's "live chat" to try to get information or any sort of feedback about what to expect. The first live chat session was at 9:17 MST on Tuesday, but given that Skype has generally been able to resolve outages like this fairly quickly in the past, there was no escalation at that point and I was not very worried. When the problem was still happening Tuesday evening, I used support chat again close to 8PM MST. The technical escalation was put in close to 9PM Tuesday night. At 5AM MST, an Email came in regarding the "SRX" escalation, but the email was completely in Chinese, and any attempts to use Babelfish or Google translation were unsuccessful in retrieving anything intelligible from that email.
    Last night, after another full day of outage, I once again went on Skype live chat support and interacted with a support person who was very empathetic, but really had nothing to offer other than "All we can do is wait."
    At this point, it's been yet another full day since then with no change in the problem and zero usable communication from the "technical escalation" aspect of the situation.
    I have probably "overcommunicated" here, but I thought it was worthwhile to make clear that I have been communicating repeatedly (3 times so far) with "first level" Skype support, but I don't know that there would be reason to expect it would do any good to chat with them again tonight.
    The "just waiting in the dark" goes on.
    Thanks again!

    if i have a US Skype number, can I be called in canada and elsewhere?

    Yes: http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/online-number
    "The number that reaches you – wherever you are"
    "An Online Number (also called Skype number) is a number anyone can call you on from their mobile or landline - and you answer on Skype, no matter where you are. And with every Online Number you also get voicemail included. Then when family and friends call your Online Number and you're unavailable, they simply leave a message which you can listen to the next time you sign in to Skype."
