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.

  • I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number.

    Hi, my father is in the middle stages of dementia and having trouble using his new iphone. I would like to be able to create a few icons with photos on them and linked to a persons phone number. This way he can select an icon and it will auto-dial that number. I did some research and an app called SBphotoDial did exactly what I need but it no longer seems to be available in the App Store. Any thoughts?

    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    Make sure that the EXT Drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled).
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • 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.

  • Blank spots on bill where other persons phone number should be

    When looking at specific video and picture messaging records on my bill, sometimes there are some that don't show the number that I am getting them from, why would that be? It just is a blank spot where the other person's number would be.

        leo723,
    That's odd but we can get to the bottom of it. Are you looking at billed usaged or the current bill cycle? How long after the messages were sent are you accessing My Verizon to look at the records? What device do you have?

  • 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.

  • Receiving sms to skype phone number

    Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to receive SMS texts to your skype phone number?  I have a phone number associated with my skype account and would like to send as well as receive to this number.

    This does not work for me. 
    I am on Skype 5.7.0.1130 for the Mac.
    In the Skypereferences . . . :Messaging windoid.
    I click on the "Set Number..." dropdown menu and type in my mobile phone number. I keep getting the message that "Error on sending code to mobile phone" etc.
    Now -- perhaps this is my issue, I have a brand new Skype mobile phone number for Germany. So new that I just got it two days ago. I was expecting to be able to send and receive text messages on this -- primarily from my bank and places like that which send you secret codes to your SMS when you are trying to log in. Does this work? Can it work? Why is it so hard to actually talk to a Skype Customer Support person??

  • Why am I told my Mobil phone number is invalid.

    In profile
    It says to verify my phone number. When I re-enter my number it continually says "it appears you have entered an invalid phone number. It is not invalid, it is a U.S. Number with the U.S. flag showing by the choice of country as I live in Wisconsin, USA. Why dose it keek saying my number is invalid? Someone from Skype should really reply this type of question.

    I am having the exact same problem editing my personal phone number and other pertinent information. I have been trying forever to get back on my feet, as was promised I would ? Please, tell me did you get your number straight ? It just keep saying it's invalid and no matter how many times I type in United States, the form wants to say Korea instead ?

  • After downloading iOS7 on my work phone, all of my personal iMessages come in on both my personal phone and work phone.  How do I turn this off?

    I recently updated my work iPhone to iOS7 and now all of my iMessages from my personal phone are also coming in to my work phone.  How do I turn this off?  I only want my iMessages to come in to my personal phone.

    You can either turn off iMessage on your work phone, use a different Apple ID for iMessage on it (by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID), or go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on your work phone and uncheck your personal phone number under "You can be Reached by iMessage at".

  • How can we block a wireless phone number?

    We use fios tv/internet/phone package and recently almost every day we got 2 or 3 times phone calls from the same wireless phone number we do not know.  When we pick up the phone to answer, the caller makes no sounds and we have to hang up.  It is very annoying.  Is there a way that we can block this person phone number so that he/she can not bother us anymore?

    THere is a service you can subscribe to, not sure what the name is right now, but if you call the billing office and tell them you are getting harrasing calls, they can put a block on it.
    Some of the services like FiOS digital voice, the Hub or I think the old IOBI let you block up to 5 or so numbers so it shouldn't be a big deal.

  • IMessage only recognize Apple ID / Email but not phone number. Why?

    I have a small problem with the iMessage. My phone only recognize and auto detect the apple ID but not the phone number who are available for iMessage. Does anyone experienced the same problem?
    These print screen below is 2 examples from my contact who actually available for the iMessage with their phone number.

    i think i have found a fix for this its worked for me so its worth a try. You will need the other persons phone to do this.
    1) Delete the contact from your phone.
    2) On your phone go to Settings > Messages then tap receive at, it it has your Apple ID e-mail address at the top tap that and sign out this will remove your e-mail address from iMessage leaving just your phone number.
    3) Go back to Message settings turn off iMessage.
    4) Turn off your phone and back on.
    5) Go back to Settings > Messages and turn back on iMessage it will then reactivate iMessage
    Now for your friends phone
    1) Go to yourself on your friends contact list and remove your e-mail address if they have it saved.
    2) Go to Settings > Messages then tap receive at, if it has their Apple ID e-mail address at the top tap that and sign out removing their e-mail address.
    3) Go back to Message settings turn off iMessage.
    4) Turn off their phone and turn it back on
    5) Go back to Settings > Messages and turn back on iMessage
    once reactivated on both phones follow these steps.
    1) Send a message from your friends phone to yours
    2) On your phone the message should come through and will have your friends mobile number at the top
    3) Reply to your friends message.
    4) Save your friends phone number as a contact again leaving the the country code (i.e UK country code +44)
    5) Delete the message between you and your friend on your phone then compose a new message and and select your friends number and it should automatically send as a iMessage send the message then go back to your contacts remove the Country code from the number and from there on then the iMessage will detect that persons phone number as a iMessage compatible device.
    This has worked for me and 3 other of my friends who where having the same problem with a number of their contacts, it seems the error is more to do with your friends phone, when activating iMessage for the first time it automatically defaults to the Apple ID and in some cases causing the phone number not to register correctly with the Apple servers this step by step removes the e-mail and reactivates nothing but the phone number with the iMessage servers.
    Hope This Helps.

  • My dad has an upgrade with his phone number, can I preorder the iPhone 5s with his number and use it with my phone number?

    I want to preorder the iPhone 5s. My personal phone number is not eligible for an upgrade yet, but my day's phone number is. He says that I can use his upgrade. On September 20, 2013 when the online preorder begins, am I able to preorder a phone for myself with my dads number and use it with my own number? How does it all work?

    Most carriers will allow you to swap phones between numbers without a problem. Swapping will not change the contract on the number that the phone was ordered for. Nor will it affect eligibility for future upgrades. Of course the "swap" will normally need to be done with phones on the same carrier and is probably easier to do when on the same account.
    I do this every year, or rather every other year. I am the techie, my wife not so much. So when the new iPhone comes out, I get it for which ever number is eligible for upgrade and have it activated to my number and then activitate my old phone to her number. I usually go to the phone company store (AT&T in my case) as they have new sims on hand and usually need to use at least one.

  • Someone else's phone number showing in my "Can be reached" option ....

    My phone just gave me a notification saying "Name is now using [email protected] & 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx for Facetime and iMessage."
    When I open my settings for both Facetime, and iMessage, this persons phone number appears. I don't have it check marked, as I don't want my messages and Facetimes going to her phone. The notification only advised of the change, didn't give an option to accept or decline this change.
    Is there a way to remove my information from her device?
    Does this mean that her messages and notifications will be coming to my phone?
    ** Just as background information if it helps any, I had another iPhone that I sold to this girl. It was completely reset before I gave it to her, and she has been using it for several months now. But I am just getting this notificaton now. I obviously have her number that I can message her at if I cannot have this removed myself, but I don't have to rely on someone else to remove my information. Anyone who can offer help would be greatly appreciated.

    Not that I'm aware of, but it is possible. It was her first smart phone, so I breifly went through all the stuff she could do, so It's possible I may have linked it to something not realizing it.
    I was on my iTunes account just now and it did show 2 devices linked with iTunes in the Clouds .. so I removed the other one, but I am going to change the password now to delink it just to be sure.
