Adding a hard line to a Skype call.

Hello all, I am trying to set up a conference call between a friend on Skype and a hardline telephone number. How do I do this? Thank you! Donn

Hi, Osterlund, and welcome to the Community,
The simple solution is to click on one of your contacts as if you were going to call them, and then on the + icon to add participants where you will see you can add people from your contact list or call mobiles or land lines.   Remember, for the latter, you will need to Buy Skype credit or a Skype subscription to pay for the cost of the outgoing calls.
In the spirit of yesterday being the annual observation of Veterans Day here in the USA ...

  • How to turn on microphone on iPhone 6 for Skype calls. I see a picture of a microphone with a red line drawn through it. Thanks.

    ow does one turn on the microphone for Skype calls on a iPhone 6 ?  I can see (video)  the person with the iPhone 6  and they can see and hear me but they cannot speak as their iPhone 6 shows a symbol that says "microphone" with a line drawn through it. Please help. Thank You.

    According to Apple's list (link above) you will probably want to pick up a Sprint or US Cellular model. HOWEVER, as I mentioned above I know that the Verizon iPhones come unlocked from the factory (assuming it will be the same for iPhone 6 and 6+). I DO NOT KNOW if the Sprint and US Cellular models come unlocked. But I am sure some quick internet research will lead you to the answer.
    I think your goal would be to get a Sprint or US Cellular version. Also I believe a law was just recently passed that allows someone to have a phone unlocked by the carrier no questions asked. So even if the Sprint and US Cellular iPhones are locked you can have them unlocked.

  • Internet not working while on skype call

    Greetings everyone
    I'm having this..specific problem for the past few days during Skype calls. Whenever I'm in a call with my friends, my intertnet completely stops working. I'm unable to browse it at all, as well as send and receive messages on Skype. Voice communication works fine, however, nothing else works properly. Or at all.
    I've tried to change my DNS to the google public dns, and that didn't help at all. I also tried to manually set up my connection, rather than automatic - didn't help either. I messed around with some Skype options as well and nope, didn't help either. I've also tried flushing the dns and all of that it didn't help.
    This ONLY happens when I'm in a Skype call - as soon as I turn off the skype call everything works as it's supposed to work..however, once I get back into the call it stops working, which is a big problem for me.
    I also tried to disable my AVG AV and it didn't help either..Skype is also added in firewall as well.
    I honestly have no idea what to do anymore regarding this.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If your celluar carrier is using CDMA cellular technology (for example: Sprint, Verizon), then on 3G networks CDMA cannot "Walk and Chew Gum" at the same time.  I am not sure at LTE for CDMA carriers.  If you your cellular carrier is using GSM (AT&T, T-Moble, and most, but not all, carriers outside the US), then you should be able to use data and voice at the same time.

  • Adding a Goal Line to a chart in Webi

    Post Author: geozuh
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Does anyone know how to add a goal line to a chart created in WEbi? It seems like this would be a standard option.

    Post Author: jsanzone
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    geozuh,
    You would think that adding a goal line to a WebI report would be an available option within the software package, but it is not (but this sure sounds like a viable enhancement, so hopefully some of the Business Objects Enhancement Gurus are listening in).
    It should be possible with a bit of fiddling with data in your database to create a "reference-type" table that could mimic all of the data values present but you would "plug" a metric-type column with the goal.  For instance, on your bar graph you have x and y coordinates.  The x could be the total sales by year, the y is the items (I know, I should be using an example from E-Fashion, but I'm not up-to-speed on it).  In your "reference-type" table you would replicate all of the year and item data and create a new column (perhaps called "goal") which you plug with the goal value.  In your universe you can link the two tables and when the report runs, voila you have all of your data.  Now you can use the "vertical bar and line" graph to plot your old x and y and use z for the goal.  Just a thought, and I know, "it's the long road to China", but hopefully you've got some ideas to tool with now.

  • My microphone doesn't work for calling but it does for skype calling

    My iPhone 4 has a problem with the microphone. When I call or when I'm called, I can hear what the other person says on the line but they can't hear me. I recently tried Voice Memos and the microphone works fine. I also try Skype calling and the microphone was working fine also, and it wasn't on loud speaker either. I need help and I tried going to Apple in Perth, Australia and they said they would not fix it or replace it. Please help if you can. Thank you.

  • EMU 1616 with Shure58S/58SE for skype calls?

    Hello!
    I've sent this question to Thomann.de support, but I didn't get anything useful in return..
    Basically I want to buy this bundle - http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/LVL/_SET_-Shure-SM58SE-inkl.-Stativ-Kabel/art-PAH109
    And I have a bit older version of this card (1616 instead of 1616M):
    http://www.musicstore.de/en_EN/LVL/EMU-1616m-PCIe-16-In-16-Out-FX/art-PCM0008873-000
    Will this microphone work on skype, for voice calls?...
    Usual PC microphones don't work with 1616 card (as they are not active microphones). My work involves skype calls and I can't call when 1616 is connected. At least not with usual PC microphone.
    So I'm using integrated sound card for quite a while...
    Will this mic work for this? Please advise.
    Best wishes,
    Aleks

    You and I had the good sense to see tremendous value in the E-Mu 1616 MicroDock audio interface.  Unfortunately, apparently few other people did, or maybe E-Mu would still be in business.  
    Where to start.
    Until recently, I used a headset under Windows XP with no problem. Not even sure how I had Patchmix set up, but I knew NOTHING of ASIO outputs in those days, so might not even have had a Send inserted somewhere.  I was able to use both a headset mic (see below), and/or a phantom-powered condenser with Skype audio-call sessions. I upgraded to Windows 7 in Jan 2013, and although I've used Skype rarely since then, my call record shows that I made a long call last summer, so it must have worked.  In the fall, I updated what may have been a very old version of Audacity, and suddenly could no longer get 1616 sound into Audacity. I've since learned that Audacity doesn't support ASIO, and apparently there's no other way to interface them. (Using properly matched ASIO "send" inserts, I can still use my mics with Pro Tools.)  I also use a product called Total Recorder, which I generally have set up to record from "software" (as opposed to a mic input), and used to regularly put me on one channel and the other person on the other channel.
    Now I find that Skype doesn't hear the 1616. Total Recorder doesn't (although their earnest support dept has assured me it should, and should not depend on getting the sound via ASIO -- I have yet to check their report fully, but my first try was unsuccessful).  And the Skype situation is a total mystery -- it says my microphone is working properly, but neither the Call Quality record/play test, nor the test call will hear it, whatever I have tried. (And I swear I've tried and triple checked everything, even removing other recently added audio software and reverting to a week-old Restore Point. (I dare not go back months, if that is even possible.)  
    Skype does "hear" a USB headset that I plugged in just for testing.  Windows foudn and loaded drivers for it, and I made a successful test call.  Although of course in comparison, the headset's audio sucked.
    So, although I have no hands-on experience with the SM58 my short answer is: Yes, it should work with any professional dynamic or condenser mic.  But in my case, it still does, but Skype suddenly does not work with it.
    Supposedly "correct" configuartion for Skype.
    http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=87610
    To use an ordinary telephone headset with the MicroDock, you need an amplifier of sort between them. (Which was news to me until a guy deep in Plantronics nicely explained -- apparently headphones use an electret approach?)  With suitable mono/stereo adapters etc., an Andrea APS-100 Battery Box should do the trick.  I got mine from eMicrophones, but a search may turn up other current sources.  About $12 plus shipping.  It uses a AAA battery, and fidelity is okay for phone use.   I don't know if it would be the correct solution (or at all a solution) for a low-output (cheap tape recorder) dynamic mic.  That probably would call for a conventional pre-amp of some kind, although the mic I just tried seems to give signal enough.
    By the way, I tried your link to the 1616m and succeeded in putting into a cart, where it says they have it "in stock."  Some nerve!  Okay, a bit of thanks to Creative Inc. for not doing away with the E-MU site entirely, but how does anyone have the chutzpah to sell the thing when there is no support, no "official" driver (just a 2010 beta and 2009 documentation), nobody there, no active forms or email, and their forum is virtually dormant?

  • Video Streaming and Skype Calls Suddenly Impossibl...

    After having used the service for quite some time and been able to do the not out of the ordinary activities of streaming youtube videos, BBC Iplayer & the like & make a Skype call I am now over a week into the problem of being unable to. Having spent countless hours on the phone to "support" and installing a new home hub my situation remains the same. I have now been told there is nothing more they can do, they won't send and Engineer & when I asked " so are you saying I just have to live with it & accept this is as good as my service is going to get?" the reply was "yes". Well.. thats customer service at its finest right there.
    I run a wired connection & am tired of speed tests!! results returned vary from acceptable to downright appalling & it is clear the problem is intermittent. 
    I have had BT Infinity 2 for over 12 months and have had several issues during this time, always taken ages to sort and always eventually resulted in an Engineer having to come out.. Issues have generally been given the same reason to me & a quick fiddle with the lines at the exchange by the Engineer has fixed it. Of course getting BT to send an engineer in the fiirst place is nigh on impossible.
    Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.. My next step is to contact billing and offer half payment for the remainder of my contract in lieu of the half service I receive (until it is rectified of course)

    Thanks to both who have responded to me here thus far. Here are the results of my most recent speedtest in full.

  • Helix Skype Calls Have Poor Voice From Helix Mic

    When on Skype calls, the person on the other side barely hears the voice of the person talking on the Helix. Using skype on any other device results in much  clearer voice to the recipient. Tried changing the microphone settings by increasing mic volume and switching between normal and group modes but the quality is always bad.
    Also noticed that this is not a problem with Skype only but with voice recorder as well. The recording playback always has background noise (even though there is no background  noise when recording) which makes the recordings useless.
    Please help in resolving this.

  • Skype calls not coming through on Windows Phone 8....

    Hello All, I have a Skype number and am travelling in Europe. My wifi is working and I can email, make calls via Skype, etc. I just can't get incoming calls. I do get emails saying that I missed a call and people that call me then text me and say that my phone number goes to voice mail. I have already uninstalled the app and reinstalled it per Skype support. This did not work. Not sure what to try next. This did work when I was in the US - I tested it by calling from another line.

  • Incoming skype calls are not ringing on my iphone

    incoming skype calls are not ringing on my iphone.  It used to work but now doesn't. I can't find anywhere in the settings to fix this.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ever since iOS5 the ringer and display does not work. No notifications.
    I live in a gated community and the gate is assigned to my Skype number. I also have clients who call me and they aren't getting through.
    If I have to purchase a land line, I will sue in small claims for the cost of the service and loss of service.
    Do not waste anyone's time with cookie-cutter answers.
    My Skype isn't ringing nor shows up on the screen ever since iOS5. You should have been working on this with the developer packs.
    I've deleted and reinstalled 3x. It is running. Volume is correct.
    This is outrageous as I pay for Skype and am thinking of canceling and demanding a full refund.
    You are pushing things towards class litigation here in the US. There is no excuse.
    Microsoft now owns Skype. They are a US corporation and are liable.

  • Skype call - Samsung LED 101 cm 40F5500

    I have purchased this TV for my office and am sorry to report that SKYPE just does not work on this. Though other apps work absolutely fine.
    Got a separate ethernet connection of 3 MBPS and yet the Skype call doesn't work properly - the picture, the sound etc all keeps fluctating and it is impossible to have a normal chat. Tried calling other laptops, PC, TV and yet the result is the same. I have also complained to the local SAMSUNG help line over the last 4 months and still the problem continues.
    My questions - 1) Why can't I see the call strength meter while I am connected on a skype call ? I can see it on my mobile/laptop/pc but not on my TV ?
    2) Who will help me on this ? - Skype team or Samsung team ?
    Awaiting any advice that can help me.

    Just to add to my query -
    I am using Skype version 3 on my TV along with Samsung Camera VG-STC3000/XL for Skype calls.

  • My regular phone call cut off my skype calls... ho...

    I am using skype mobile on my iphone and every time I get a phone call on my regular line, it cuts off my skype call.  I thought that once my phone was in use that my other calls would go to voice mail, however my skype calls are just being cut off.  I would like to stop this from happening as I have had several important business calls interupted.  How do I fix this issue?

    I have this same problem.  I am am on a skype call and someone will ring my mobile (not through skype) and it will cut out (overide) my skype call.  Is there a way to fix this?  I think it may be that if on an important skype you turn your cellular data function in your i phone settings.  Is this right?  Is this the only way?

  • Skype to Skype calls won't connect, to phones will

    I developed a problem with Skype sometime last week. I can connect Skype to phone lines using credits with no problem. I cannot, however, connect Skype to Skype calls. I can send a contact request, see when it is accepted, and exchange sms messages with the contact. However when I attempt to call the contact, or when they attempt to call me, the call hangs up on "connecting" and the other party never sees it coming in to be answered. Later, however, the missed call will appear in the call history.This does not happen with every attempted skype to skype call, but most of them. Skype and Windows 8 updates were run recently before the problem started happening. The other contacts have various versions of Windows including 10, 8 and lower (and unknown.) All Skype calls to landline or mobile numbers are completing as normal. Have tried disabling all firewalls, making sure skype is on the allowed list with firewalls, uninstalling and reinstalling, checking every possible setting we can think of. I'm stumped, my company's helpdesk is stumped, really need to find a fix for this.
