Skype number "inactive" in mobile app
I purchased a Skype number, but the mobile app shows it as Inactive. The Online profile shows my Skype number as being paid for. How do I refresh or update the app to reflect the online account status for the phone number?
Credit or a subscription is required for call forwarding or outbound calling. Standard inbound calls consume no credit or subscription. The people calling you still have to pay the standard rate it costs to call the Skype number from their phone (billed by their phone provider) similar to you having to pay for your Internet/Data plan bill to use Skype on your phone.

Skype number forwarding to mobile costing to much each receiving call??
Hi, I brought a skype number, I only want to use it for receiving incoming calls.. I do not wish to call anyone on my skype number.. But I've been having to buy credit a few times now because each time someone calls my skype number & i have it so it forwards to my mobile phone it's costing me to much ? Is there a cheaper way I can have my Skype number & receive incoming calls forwarded to my mobile phone? When I answer not on Skype, iPhone mobile phone number I pick the call from?? I subscribed to something I thought was it but I was rong because I still have no credit to receive calls to my mobile phone?
Can someone help me please ?Hey, Mell.johns
Welcome to the Skype Community!
To better understand your inquiries, let me re-word your questions and then attempt to answer it.
Q: Is there a cheaper way to receive incoming calls from my Skype Number on my mobile phone?
A: Sure, you can answer calls from your iPhone for no additional charge by using Skype for iPhone! Sign in and your calls will ring there at the same time your computers signed onto Skype would!
Q: When I'm not on Skype, can I pick the call up from my iPhone mobile number?
A: Yes, but that requires Skype Credit or a calling subscription for calling out. Again, picking up from the iPhone app won't cost you more.
If these questions & answers do not satisfy you, please attempt to re-explain your questions in further detail so that we could try this again!

Can I designate my Skype number as my mobile numbe...
Can I designate my Skype number as my mobile number for SMS replies?
Hi, expertvillage, and welcome to the Community,
I'm wondering whether you are referring to transferring your subscription, or forwarding a number ... so here are two different answers:
Skype subscriptions are active for specific terms or lengths of time. If you no longer need the New Jersey number, cancel the subscription and start a new Skype Number for New York. Skype does not permit transfers of anything, be it credit, subscriptions, or call features from one account to another. Splitting a subscription by changing a number is not possible, either.
You may forward the New Jersey Skype Number to the new New York Skype Number. Here's how: https://support.skype.com/en/category/CALL_FORWARDING/
Hope I covered all scenarios!
Kind regards,
Elaine

I recently purchased a Kindle Fire HD 7" and installed Skype on it. I paid for the subscription and Skype credits. My bank shows both of those transactions, but when I open Skype it shows the credits, but says my Skype number is not active. When I signed up I received a number. What is wrong and how do I fix it? Also how do I find people with Skype?
did this fix itself? i have the same problem on 2 new kindle fire hd's.

Skype & NFL Mobile Apps for Verizon
What's the deal with getting these apps approved? According to VZ, Palm is holding them up from being available. There has been a lot said and written about the relationship with VZ, but to have the apps available on android and blackberry phones, but not web OS is a huge mistake. Please tell me that this will change soon.
Hello and welcome to the forums;
Unfortunately, we have no information on the status of app submissions or approvals.
As far as I knew, Skype was not even making a webOS app yet, as seen in a 2009 article from US News. I admit that's a bit dated here in the world of webOS, but a quick visit to the Skype download page lists mobile apps for several platforms, but no mention of even a 'coming soon' placeholder for webOS. I didn't stay there for long, but hopefully Skype has a feedback and suggestion page where you could request a webOS version of their mobile application.
As for the NFL app, again we don't have any information, but if you would like to see a particular app or feature like VZ NFL added, visit our feedback portal at www.palm.com/feedback .
Life moves fast. Don't miss a thing.

My Skype Number is busy continuously
I am trying to call up the skype number from my mobile number however it is coming busy continously.
Please help.
Thanks,

Subject/title edited accordingly.Hi, IAL, and welcome to the Community,
Hopefully, you are not signed on to Skype on the mobile device at the same time you are testing your Skype Number. If you are, that could be the problem. Try calling the Skype Number from a fixed line, instead. Otherwise, you will need to please contact Skype customer service directly to sort this as we here in the Community do not have the resources to diagnose and resolve.
Regards,
Elaine

Which type of Skype number should I have??
Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to call Danish numbers from a Skype number, on a mobile phone with an Italian sim card inside - without being connected to the internet..?
I've already created a Skype number - and used it via my Italian mobile phone, when I was connected to the internet - but I need to be able to use it also when I'm not connected to the internet.. -And I need to be able to use it to call telephone numbers that I have not already registered beforehand (and as far as I understand the Skype To Go-set up, you need to do that for this solution, right?). Is there another solution for me??
I hope somebody is able to help me as soon as possible..
Thank you.
Julie.Ooops, my bad, so there are only two different options? And they are both 512MB? I don't really see anything that says 512MB of VRAM or anything for the Radeon. ATI is now owned by AMD. It seems they may just discontinue Mac support. I don't want be stuck with another unsupported card. Last time was with the VooDoo 64MB card that came out for Mac when I had a G3. 3DFX went out of business shortly after.
Quadro 4500 FX and the ATI Radeon X1900 XT? Both are 512MB, is one brand better than the other? Is there anything bigger? I have recently read a lot of reviews of the Radeon cards over heating. I would like to get something better if possible and prepare to not have to upgrade again so soon. Also nVidia has these other Quadros on this page:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/qfx_uhe.html
Are none of the others in this list compatible? They are all PCIe. Is it just because there are no drivers? -

DeviceMaker: ZTE
Device Name: FIT 4G Smart
Device Model: ZTE Fit 4G Smart
Android OS version: Stock AU 4.4.4
Network: WiFi & Amaysim 4G (Optus Network)
Skype client version installed: 5.7.0.13054 I just purchassed a Skype number and it works for receiving calls on my mobile however i have some issues.1)In my profile it shows Skype Number as Inactive on the mobile app2)When i reject a call on the mobile app it will not go to voicemail, it just gives the engaged signal. (on the desktop version if i reject a call it goes to voicemail). IT WILL however go to voicemail on the mobile app if i let the call ring out. How i expect it to work:1) My skype number to show as active on the mobile app2) when rejecting a call using the mobile app it goes to voicemailSo the inactive number is fixed and i found out that on mobile apps when rejecting a skype call it will not go to voicemail only on the desktop version. This feature should be implemented.

My skype number is inactive but i have enough cred...
Hi, i'm in UAE for travel, my account says that my skype number is inactive, but i have enough credit. How can i active it??
What type of license is the key for: individual, student/teacher, government, team, enterprise, promotional, bundled, what?
Where did you get the software installer from, a link in your purchases area or a download elsewhere on Adobe's site or from ProDesignTools?
Is there anything that was done out of the ordinary, originally, to get your software to work?
In other words might the key be for a different type of license than the installer you're trying to use. -
A private web screen shows up when I close down apps on my ipad, but I don't want to see that web page EVER. It is a private "incognito" Skype number that I don't want ANYONE to see.
Yeah, I'm 95% sure that I did that after I closed that Skype, so I was a bit shocked when I saw that screen pop up later :/

Can I forward my UK mobile calls to a Skype Number...
Hi
I am moving to France for 6 mths and want to forward all UK mobile calls to a Skype number. I want to know will my clients realise I am abroad? will there be a foreign ring tone and will they get charged a premium rate?
Ideally I want them to call my mobile and seamlessly be transfered to my skype number and not be charged any extra.
Do I need to buy a UK or French Skype number?
Any help of comments would be most useful.Hi

Is Skype no longer an interest on the Hot or Not mobile app?
Please forgive me if this question sounds a bit silly, but is Skype no longer an interest on the Hot or Not mobile app? I love to waste time with the Hot or Not app and one of the main reasons I use it is to find other people with Skype accounts. For the last three days, over a period of probably six hours, I have not encountered one person who has listed Skype as an interest and I find this extremely odd. Anyone else notice this too? Has the government clamped down on Hot or Not like it did on Yahoo and its chat rooms a few years ago? Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they did as a measure of protecting kids against online sexual predators and the general Internet community from the huge growth of spammers/scammers plaguing social media in recent years, but I can only surmise at this point!
I forgot to point out that I have e-mailed Hot or Not about this issue and am still waiting for a reply.

I get a Skype number in Australa and have my calls forwarded to the Canadian mobile number?
Hello
Yes you can.
You will need (a) an Australian Skype Number and (b) an Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription @$2.99/month or some Skype Credit to fund the cost of the forwarded calls.
