Busy line when callin my online number

Hi,
I have a skype number and I'm using Dual Phone. A while ago I've noticed that nobody can call me on my skype number - the line is busy. I found a trick on Skype pages that I should turn off and turn on the skypein calls from ananymus people (detailed describtion below). But it didn't work for me. Could you please help me? I donn't know how to fix this... Since couple of weeks nobody can call me directly on my skype number.
Thanks a lot
Lila
Describtion I've found:
Skype for Windows
In Skype select Tools > Options
Click the Privacy tab, then under Allow calls to my Online Number(s) from… select anyone, and click Save.
If the privacy settings were already configured like this, complete the two steps below to refresh the settings.
Go back to the Privacy tab by selecting Tools > Options and change the privacy settings to allow calls to Online Number(s) from phone numbers in my Contact list only and click Save.
Wait approximately 5 minutes then open the privacy settings once more and change the setting back to anyone andSave.

I have the same problem since friday 11.11 and tried all the things support wrote me but still not working. Last mail i got from support is from friday 18. that they are working on the problem.... but untill now still nobody can call me. Skype to skype works but the online number no go. The problem is not in your computer, i'm sure they have a bug in there server software.

RTX 4088 not ringing when called using online numb...

I have read a lot of posts some with solutions( that don't work) and others stating that this is a known skype issue.
Firstly i have just bought my second cordless phone, RTX 4088, nice phone but wont ring when anyone rings me on my online number. This is hit and miss, works some days others not. Actually doesn't work most of the time.
I had a long chat with skype support and did as a another post suggested deleted an xml file, changed some settings and sat about for 5 minutes, this didn't work.
I did get it to work by doing a full reset on the phone, this fixed it temporarily. 15minutes later.
RTX support is useless, they said contact skype and skype said contact them....
I am pissed at skype over this, no public notice that this is a bug and no real solution. Online numbers are pointless if your phone wont ring when someone calls. You may as well buy a €6 corded phone and leave your computer on because thats the only calls i can receive. Dont spend th €90 euro for a fancy phone that just answers skype to skype calls.
Skype please fix this bug and stop giving us the run around.....

Mail stays off line - when cliked to online then demands password

Everytime I start Mail it is off-line and has to be put on-line, how anoying this is.

Change online number for business

Hi,
I've used Skype for many years now and have had a personal account for it. When I started my own business I associated a Skype Online Number as by business number to my account. Now the business has grown from 1 to 10 people and although I've created all their accounts, my business nr is still associated with my personal account.
This is an issue cause I don't want to receive business calls in my personal time and vice-versa. I've read in a post that Skype cannot move online numbers, but I find this a ridiculous statement.
I don't want to reprint business cards and letterheads or change websites for something that is number portabilitity inside the same operator (which telecoms do for over 20 years).
Can Skype provide a solution? If not then Skype is clearly not a business product.
Thanks,
Luís

How is it all th other European community members have Skype numbers and yet Espana does not? There aren't any regulations because Europe assures us of interoperability of regulations. This must be down to 'the arrogance of' the individual telco operators in Spain. Incidentally these companies are basically BT (UK) and Vodafone (UK).
Come on public how long are we going to put up with being continually ripped off by 'these money grabbing Corporate CEO sociopaths'? They won't change their behaviour unless their 'greed' is exposed at which point competition drives them to change. In this case it looks like a classic case of 'a dark conspiracy to maintain exclusion of' cheaper telephone calls.
Has nobody noticed how Spanish connections via Skype are almost impossible at certain times of the year or certain times of day? The data channels are controlled and Skype traffic is restricted by the same companies who own the network infrastructure. Gone is the apparent principle of democratic free access to the internet.
The usual response to high data demands is to build extra capacity. In this case the response is to keep the limited capacity and argue that traffic throttling is a necessity. Spain suffers from restricted data capacity which in turn impacts Espana's economic growth. Everyday individuals running startup businesses suffer difficulties that do not exist in other European countries.
This is because of the satyrical greed of a select group of telephone companies? Well it is a question, one that everybody should start to ask. Why? ...and why no Skype numbers for Spain?

Online Number: Individual vs. Skype Business Manag...

I am the president of a small, non-profit professional organization who are experimenting with holding their board meetings via phone conference. I am wondering if it will be less expensive for me to get an online number as an individual or for me to get an online number through Skype business manager subscription.

IMHO. I think you need to determine if you would like a single method to fund Skype services to other Skype names you can create using the Business Manager as well as if you intend to share a Skype name with others.
Sadly, if you intend to share a Skype name, those that have the password for that Skype name, who maybe need it to answer calls from that Online Number, could change the password to that Skype name, if that Skype namecreated by the Business Manager was assigned the Online Number from the Business Manager in that case, the password can be easily reset.
That said. If that Skype name was not created by the Business Manager, an angry person having access to that Skype name and password, might change the password and then you maybe at their mercy to be able to answer calls from that "Online Number" assigned to that Skype name and/or access to other Skype services assigned to that Skype name. as well.
So, there are some security benefits as well as single source funding/payment benefits to consider one over the other based on what you might want and do now or in the future.

Discount for online number available?

Hello,
I am thinking about purchasing a Skype online number for my UK business.
At the moment, it says on Skypes website that there is a 50% discount for existing subscribers. I think this does not apply to me because this would be my first online number.
But I remember that there was some offer a while ago where you were able to receive credit towards your other subscriptions when buying an online number.
Can anybody please help and tell me what is the best and cheapest way to get the online number or if there are any promotions or discounts currently available , hidden on Skype's website??
I apprciate your help!
Marko

I have troubleshooted and posted on here and changed privacy settings and upgraded to the latest Skype version and have been in a continuous online feedback loop w/ Skype desperately looking for answers. MAD!
My 3 month online number does NOT work, and now Skype is sending me emails saying that I can extend it. No way. I want my money back, and I want the number to work. Do I really need to buy MORE credit in order to get an answer? will absolutely abandon skype.

Hello,
First check that 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".

I get a busy tone on calling on my online number from any phone. I'm on windows 7, N8, iphone. Please help me out.

Hey Redritr,
Thanks for the question. iTunes purchases are billed to Store Credits first, before Credit Cards, as outlined by the following article:
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
via iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
It also may be that the iTunes Store is prompting to verify your billing information:
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.

I renewed my online number but it is not showing up on the poeple I calls caller id.

Skype Customer Support doesn't monitor these community forums. Other Skype users do. Please keep that in mind, if you aren't getting answers to questions posted here.
Getting back to the question of Caller ID, one way to turn on Caller ID is to log into your account on the Skype web site. You should see a link to Caller ID Settings, which is also at:
https://secure.skype.com/account/caller-id/settings
If you have certain Skype Online Numbers, you can select those numbers. Numbers from some countries are not permiited as Caller ID. If you have multiple numbers, Skype can use different numbers on Caller ID when calling those countries. There is even a way to add a mobile number for your Caller ID when calling from Skype.
For me, I have online numbers in 4 countries (USA, Mexico, UK, Australia). When I call from Skype, my default number for Caller ID is the USA number. When calling the UK, my UK number shows up, and the USA number shows up for calls to any other place.
Hope that helps.....
