Caller identification while using Skype Number

Hi, I live in Canada and set up a Skype Number locates in HongKong to make my friends call me more easily. But soon I found that I could not identify who is the caller when someone is calling my Skype Number.
For instant,
When I log off the Skype App and use "Call Forward" function of Skype, if someone calls my HK's Skype Number, it always displays "+10000123456" and I cannot know who is the caller except I pickup the phone. 
While if I run the Skype App in the backgourd of my cell phone, and someone calls my Skype Number, the skype app will pop up but only shows "Unknow Number"
Could you give me some advice to solve this problem?
Thanks

There may not be much that can be done.  Caller ID from the telephone network to your Skype Number is controlled by the telephone carrier(s) where your Skype Number is located (Hong Kong). Not all carriers in all countries send Caller ID information to the Skype Number.  When your friends in Hong Kong call each other on their phones, do they see the Caller ID information on those calls?  This may not help your situation when receiving calls on your Skype number, but would at least verify that your friends' phones are sending the Caller ID information out when they call someone. 
Good luck!

    Hello Gerben,
    Yes it is. You can choose either your Online # or your cellphone #.

  • While using skype on my iphone 4s i found after an hour or so the iphone was very warm and actually bit hot. Is this normal for other users too?

    While using Skype on my iphone 4s i found the phone was heated up. It was very warm. I had used for 1 hour or so. Is this normal for other users aswell ?
    And also sometimes when i get the call no matter how much i try to slide the cursor, it doesn't move. I miss those calls. It looks like it is freezed. Has this
    happened to others too?

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

  • Best way to use Skype number with phones/PC?

    I am considering switching my home business phone to a Skype number.  The ideal useage solution would be to be able use Skype on my PC while at my desk, and route to the phone (or my cell) at other times.
    I see that you offer the FreeTalk Home adapter, and also Skype enabled phones, but it is not clear which combination of devices/services I need.
    Advice on how to do accomplish this would be appreciated.
    Thanks much.

    If I take what you said in the first paragraph as what you want to do, there are ways to do that without buying a Skype-specific phone or that adapter.  You would need to use Call Forwarding, pointing to a phone number that your Skype account would send unanswered calls to.  You would need to either purchase Skype Credit or a subscription to cover calls to that phone number.  For more than a handful of calls a month, a subscription would probably be the best (and cheapest) option.  You could set the Call Forwarding to send calls to several numbers simultaneously, and then Skype would connect the call to the first phone from that list that answers the forwarded call. 
    If you have a mobile phone that can run a Skype app, you could also use that to be logged into Skype.  You could be logged into Skype from both the computer and a mobile phone.

  • Is there any way I can use Skype Number with Viber...

    Hello. With my Skype Number is there any way I can use it with Viber? So I give my Skype NUmber to a friend and they add me on Viber? Or do I have to divert my skype numebr to my actual number?

    Hi, if you give your Skype number to your friend they can make a Viber Out call to that number if they have some viber credit. Calls to landlines are usually cheap but it depends where in the world your friend is calling from.
    Have you got a Viber account too ? Viber to Viber over the Internet is free, like Skype to Skype being free. Persoanally I have both networks now.
    Viber is on smartphones, some feature phones and there's a desktop app too. Your Viber account is based upon the mobile number you register and Viber recognises phone numbers of your contacts to see if they're registered on Viber too.

  • Cant call mobile phones using Skype in Serbia

    Dear ladies and gentlemen,
    My parents are currently in Serbia and they are using Skype. They have 30€ of credit on their Skype account and use it to call numbers outside of Serbia. Now, this works without problems for landlines (e.g. in Germany) but it doesnt work for mobile phones (also in Germany). Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
    Kind regards,

    I have a UK Skype number that will ring in the office or on a laptop when I'm online - if I'm not online it diverts to my mobile. I realise that I pay for this forwarded call - at the moment through my Skype Credit but can I get this charge inclusive by buying a premium account or a subscription?
    yes, as long as the calling plan you choose supports calls to your mobile (not all subscriptions support mobile numbers)

  • Using Skype number for America

    Morning Skypers!
    I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have a Skype number here in the UK which allows clients to ring a landline number and I can answer in Skype. It works well and I'm very happy with it.
    What I would like to do is set up another Skype number for the US. This way clients in the US, without Skype, can call a US number and get through to me inexpensively. What I'm looking for is some clarification on calling charges in the US as I know there are long distance costs which I'm trying to avoid. Which state should I set the number up in so the maximum number of clients in the US can call the number without paying long-distance charges?
    If I'm barking up the wrong tree and it is the same price to call every state if you are a US citizen then let me know but I'm pretty sure it costs more for some states to call others.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jack

    You can use a Skype ATA adapter like the Freetalk Connect Me.  It's a standalone device that allows you to use your Skype account like a landline.  I use it with my wireless DECT phone system and I'm pleased with the quality.  It does not work or interact with Microsoft accounts, but is compatible with transitional Skype IDs.

  • Using skype number

    I'm still a little confused as to using a Skype number. I signed up for one using my local area code. We are traveling to Costa Rica. Can my daughter just call that number (she is using the same local area code) from her cell phone (not on Skype) and it will be sent to us without any cost to either of us?  Can I only answer it on my lap top without cost or can I also answer it on my cell phone down there through the Skype app?  Does the cell phone carrier (Verizon) charge us for usage? Obviously I'm concerned about cell charges from Verizon and how to get around them for as little as possible. Thanks for any help that someone can provide.

  • While using Skype on my mac pro the screen freezes and splits in two and the left hand side shifts to the right and the right shifts to the left with a large black block down the centre, should I take it back to store as it is only a month old??

    I have only had my mac one month and it seems while I use Skype the screen freezes and I cant click on anything and everything on the right hand side of the screen shifts to the left and the left to the right with a back block down the centre and sometimes lines running down the screen over all. As it is almost brand new should I be going back to store to get this problem fixed??

    Yes.  You are still under warranty.  Why waste it?
