Call to and from Skype

Hi
I am going to buy a online Skype number for US, so my friends in US, can call that local number and get in touch with me.
My question is:
Can I call my friends in US as well, or should I then buy another subscriptions?

The Online Number only allows you to receive calls from telephones at your Skype account.  You would still need to purchase Skype Credit or a monthly subscription for calling telephones in the US or anywhere else.
Specifically for the US, making calls to telephones there using Skype Credit cost 2.3 US cents/minute, plus a connection fee.  Click on the "Pay As You Go" link for more details, including changing the pricing to currencies other than the US dollar.  If you will be calling telephones in the US often, you could purchase the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month - good for calling landline and mobile phones in both countries.  Please click on the "Subscriptions" link for more details on the subscriptions, including pricing in currencies other than the US dollar.
Of course, if you can get your friends have access to Internet, encourage them to sign up for Skype.  Then the Skype-to-Skype calls are free from wherever all of you are located.  You can also have one-on-one video chats for free through Skype.  If you want to have group video chats, you may consider purchasing the Skype Premium subscription - which also includes calls to telephones in any one country (you could select the US for that country).

  • Skype Number, Calling out and in

    Hi Skype Community
    I wan't a Skype Number for my webshop and need to know. If I have a Skype number. Can I call to others? and can my customer call me?

    Hi, MaxXGaming, and welcome to the Community,
    Please remember this: a Skype Number provides a fixed or land line number for people to use to call you, and you answer the call on Skype.  In other words, incoming calls only.
    You will need credit or a subscription to cover the cost of calls you make from Skype to fixed or land lines and mobile numbers.
    Maybe the product names should not have been changed?!
    Skype Number = Skype In
    Calls to fixed lines and mobile numbers = Skype Out - credit or subscription needed.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • IPhone use to and from French phones while I'm IN FRANCE.

    I will be traveling to France, and I have several friends who live in France. How can I use my iPhone to make/receive calls to and from a FRENCH phone number while I am in France? Or should I just buy a télécarte and use a pay phone? Et oui, je me débrouille assez bien en français, je crois.
    I have an iPhone 3G with the latest software update
    Thanks

    Hi/Salut!
    Obviously, your French is quite good! The answer to your question lies in the voice & data plan you have, and the roaming costs it implies; buying a pre-paid card is an option, though it's not easy since your iPhone uses a micro-SIM card. You could buy a micro-SIM card alone from one of the main French mobile phone operators and MVNOs, but strangely enough, Orange, who introduced the first iPhone in France, doesn't propose one. Bouygues Télécom or SFR should provide one for you for a few bucks, with or without data plan. Up to you to take a monthly plan if you think you'll come to France often enough, but if you're not going to call home to often, a simple prepaid voice plan should suffice. Should the micro-SIM option not exist, well, a good scissor can do the trick... If your iPhone is not simlocked... Another option yet is to install Skype on your iPhone, buy some credit and call your Gallic friends when you're in the vicinity of a WiFi hotspot.
    As the French often say, "il n'y a pas de problème, seulement des solutions"...

  • Active Calls Dropped and SDL Link out of service

                       Hello,
    I have a UCCE 9.0 and UCM 9.1
    For 4 days in a row we are facing the following problem:
    - Active agent calls are dropped
    - Agents have to login again to CTIOS server
    - I dumped the jgw process logs on both PGs: I found a "CallManager_Failure" error
    - On UCM RTMT tool, I can see the following error at the same time of the issue: SDLLinkOutOfService
    Note: The issue is happening daily at the same time
    Anyone knows what could be the issue?
    Thank you,
    Sahar Hanna

    SDL links are used between CCM, CTI, and CMI services to share data regarding the current status of devices and to send calls to and from different nodes in the cluster. They form a full mesh between like and dislike services. I.E. CCM on node 1 will have an SDL link to CCM on node 2 and to CTI on node 1 and 2 and so on.
    SDL links going out of service usually represent a network outage between the nodes or a service crash on one of the nodes. Any core files in RTMT?
    If the alert isn’t continually re-firing, then the link is probably operational again.

  • Windows 8.1 & Skype: how to call a contact from the Windows Contact List?

    Hi  I just added a contact on Win 8.1 Surface. When I try to call directly from the windows contact list I get a message that skype has been replaced by skype for desktop. When I remove the skype app (and keep skype for desktop) calling from the list is also not possible: I get a message that no app is associated (message-skype-com) Is there a way around it? Or is it currently not possible to call a skype contact from windows contacts? 

    Hi, Pancake12,
    Because I am not certain I an interpreting what you mean - although it looks quite literal - I am going to provide three separate pieces of information:
    - To remove a contact's name from your Skype sign-in window, please refer to the instruction in this FAQ article - using their account name, not yours:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11070/how-can-i​-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-screen-in-s​...
    - In case you mean removing a contact from the Skype Home Screen when you say, "sign in window," unfortunately, we cannot do this.  Skype has some arbitrary algorithm which places recently contacted people on the Home Screen.
    - In case you mean removing a contact from your contact list, here is an FAQ with the details how to do this:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-or​ganize-my-contacts   In Windows, it's as easy as highlighting by single-clicking a contact's name, right-click, and choose Remove from Contacts or Block.
    Hope this helps!

  • My iPhone 4S mic stop working suddenly when i use it to make calls from Skype to other Skype users

    Thanks for you help.

    You have hacked your phone with Turbo SIM. You cannot get any help here for hacked phones. Contact the place/person who sold you the SIM. Surely, they have support services, don't they?

  • Is it free to Call a Skype Number from Skype?

    Hello... My girlfriend is overseas and and she has a skype number. Since I have skype, I would like to know if calling her to her skype number from sjype will cost me money... 
    Thanks

    Dear Readers,
    To clarify Sailorchibi's reply, above:
    Hello... My girlfriend is overseas and and she has a skype number. Since I have skype, I would like to know if calling her to her skype number from sjype will cost me money... 
    If you have a subscription in place to cover the cost of the call, then there ought to be no additional charges.  If your subscription(s) will not cover call costs, then Skype credit would.  However, I am curious as to why you would not contact her as a Skype-to-Skype call, seeing as you both hold Skype accounts, thereby incurring no call charges?
    Skype would consider a call to a Skype Number as an out-bound call to a fixed line number.

    Elaine

  • Someone called my cell from my skype number

    At 6 am today, I received a call from my Skype number on my cell phone. My Skype number showed under caller ID. I did not make the call as I was sleeping and was very surprised to see my Skype number on the caller ID. The only way I can figure this could happen is someone has my Skype Login and they know it belongs to me since they also had my cell phone to call. I didn't answer the phone at 6 and probably should have.
    Does anyone have any idea how someone made this call? Has my account been hacked? 

    Just checked my skype account and it appears it was a forwarded call. I'm assuming someone/something called my skype-in number.
    If I look at my usage, and then select "Show" "Call forwarded" I see a call yesterday referenced as "This call was forwarded from unknown"
    Still strange that on my cell it shows up as my skype alias.

  • Calling landlines and mobiles in Australia from ov...

    Hi,
    I intend to get a Skype number for use when I leave Australia for overseas for 9 months.
    I look at the "Premium" service but it does not show calling back to Australia to a mobile!
    What I want to do is call landlines and mobiles in Australia from overseas and for Australian contacts to call me on a Skype number.
    I already use Skype credit and expect that in addition to the bulk of the calls back to Australia I will need to call other countries (bookings etc)What do I do?
    If Skype number with a premium subscription does not allow calls to mobiles then would I need a Skype number (subscription) AND Skype credit?
    Cheers,
    Roger

    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community!
    Your account shows that you are calling from the UAE. Please note that the UAE blocks all outbound VoIP traffic including Skype. You could try using a VPN to access the internet.
    p.s. No post duplication please. Duplicate removed. Thank you.

  • Incoming Calls from Skype number delayed by 4-5 rings

    This seems to be an issue that many have, and I am trying to find a solution. Recently got a Skype online number for local Sydney, Australia. When I do a test call to the number my iPhone does not start ringing for a good 4-5 rings. Add the time to unlock phone and answer from the alert message on screen and most people will hang up. Even if my iPhone is unlocked and the Skype app open on screen it still takes the 4-5 rings. Is there any way to reduce this time? Thanks

    This morning I woke up thinking that I should turn off my iPhone and then call it from a land line.  If the problem is the network then there would be a delay before I heard ringing.
    I turned my iPhone off and called it.  Right away I heard my message.
    I turned my iPhone back on and called it.  It rang right away!
    So, did Virgin Mobile fix the problem or did turning my iPhone off fix the problem?
    I don't know, but I'll take either.  I do know that Virgin Mobile said it would be four days to check the problem.  Did the problem get fixed yesterday when the four business days were up.  I do know that I've had my iPhone on for a long, long time.  Did upgrading to 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 cause the problem and turning my iPhone off reset my iPhone?
    If you have delayed ringing problem and turning your iPhone off and on again resolved it, please post a note here.
    P.S. I did call Virgin Mobile and its records show the investigation is still open.  I hope my points get passed on to the investigators.
    P.P.S. Reading my notes, I had turned my iPhone off and on last week.  Maybe it's all the phase of the moon.

  • Can I use a Skype Number to call the USA from Spai...

    Hi, I live in the US and will be calling friends and Family in the US.  BUT I will be calling them from Spain.  Can I use a US Skype #? 
    Subject/title changed from "Help Please" to reflect this post's question.

    Hi, Grannyrosie, and welcome to the Community,
    Please remember the purpose of a Skype Number is only for people to call you - a Skype Number is a fixed or land line number, and you answer the incoming calls on SKype.  You would need a Skype subscription or Buy Skype credit in order to place calls from Skype to fixed or land line numbers and mobile numbers.

    It's an all-to-common scam. The lesson to learn is never to accept unsolicited 'help' from someone you don't know, no matter who they say they are. Meanwhile, IMMEDIATELY file a fraud report with your credit card company.
