Can't call my Skype Number

I've just purchased a South African Skype number and received all of the confirmation emails. The trouble is that I cannot call that SKype Number from my mobile phone - I get a pre-recorded message saying it's not a valid extension and that I should try again.
Any help please?

I've tried calling my skype number

Hi I wanted to see if my skype number worked. I tried calling it from my land line from my house in France. I got an auto message saying the number is invalid. I tried with and without the national code. Please let me know how my friends and family can call my Skype number. I'm traveling starting from Oct 1 in Mexico, and I would like it to work before I go. Thank you.

Calling my skype number: sounds like modem, fax

When I got my US subscription and skype number, I tried calling it from another phone (att cell phone, and tried my work land line) to test it out and skype doesn't ring... It is just a weird modem, fax sound coming from the headset of the other phones. I do not even get a voicemail message from my skype number after the strange 'rings.'
I am using skype on my ipad mini. It is the latest app, too. I have tried calling when The ipad is connected to 4g and from my home wifi. I cannot receive any calls, ipad app does not ring.
Can still receive a skype to skype call, though. What's going on?

Can I use US Skype number while out of the country

I would like to be able to forward my work phone to a local US skype number and answer while traveling out of the country. Is this possible?
If not, how would I do this?

Yes, you can use a US Skype Number while you're out of the country.
Even if you're overseas your friends and relatives can call your US Skype Number at local rates. When they want to call you, simply sign in to Skype and answer the call when it rings – and you pay nothing to answer the call.

Can I designate my Skype number as my mobile number for SMS replies?

Hi, expertvillage, and welcome to the Community,
I'm wondering whether you are referring to transferring your subscription, or forwarding a number ... so here are two different answers:
Skype subscriptions are active for specific terms or lengths of time. If you no longer need the New Jersey number, cancel the subscription and start a new Skype Number for New York. Skype does not permit transfers of anything, be it credit, subscriptions, or call features from one account to another. Splitting a subscription by changing a number is not possible, either.
You may forward the New Jersey Skype Number to the new New York Skype Number. Here's how: https://support.skype.com/en/category/CALL_FORWARDING/
Hope I covered all scenarios!
Kind regards,
Elaine

How can I pay for skype number for one year

How can I pay for skype number for one year?

Hi, Orzo.Coffee, and welcome to the Community,
I realize what I am about to write sounds a bit weird: to change the term of a Skype Number subscription, we need to permit it to expire, or in other words, reach the end of its term. Your Skype Number will be held on account for you for 90 days following the expiration date, so you can sign in even on the same day you receive the e-mail stating your Skype Number subscription has expired, to reinstate the subscription and change the term.
I had to ensure I had enough credit on account so my renewal would process successfully; if you plan to renew for a year and use credit for your payment method, remember to add enough credit to cover the cost of the annual subscription. You could also change your payment method at the time you reinstate/renew your Skype Number subscription.
Make sense?
Kind regards,
Elaine

Subject/title amended accordingly.

I am assuming that the Express is connected wirelessly to a non-Apple router - so the answer would be yes if the Express is configured as a bridge to join your wireless network - then if you connect your PC to an ethernet port on the Express, it would connect to the internet via your router.

Call to Skype number from a country other than sky...

Hi,
I took a skype number recently with United states area code. But I have relatives in India who tried to call my skype number, but they were unable to make a call. They got a response saying number is invalid.
I want to know whether calls are not connected if people in India or from some country make calls to a skype online number registered in an other country.

The issue of cross store purchasing comes up frequently so I'll just quote one of the most complete explanations (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store you must be able to show some form of residency which would be either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

a Skype Number is just a phone number, callable from anywhere in the regular phone network
a Skype Number in Japan should eliminate (or at least minimize) the cost to the expected callers
Skype does not currently support the reception of SMS texts
you can have as many as 10 Skype Numbers associated with a given Skype Name, and they need not all be in the same country

Can I call a Skype to Go USA number from my Skype ...

Hi There,
I'm travelling to Europe (France & Spain) from India. Since Skype hasn't started the Skype to Go in India, I was thinking of going for a Skype to Go number in the USA, which my family will call from their existing Skype credit (through WiFi on iPhone). One Skype to Go number of the USA will be configured to call France and another to call Spain.Therefore, when someone calls my USA number (either through a landline in India or through Skype), it will be routed to my France/Spain local mobile number, which I will purchase on arrival. I wish to know if this (calling from Skype to the Skype to Go number) is really possible. If not, what can be the solution. Also kindly suggest any alternate route other than the USA which will be more reasonable.
One may ask why take so much trouble, and rather not call directly from Skype to the local France/Spain mobile number. The issue is that I wish to be accessible to other important people who do not use Skype, and will call from their Indian landlines to the USA (caling from India-USA on landline is quite reasonable compared to other countries). I will share my Skype to Go numbers with whom I want to be in touch when abroad.
I chose USA since India-USA on Skype/Indian landline is cheap & USA-Europe is again reasonable with unlimted packages on Skype pay as you go. Please get back to me.

Can I use Skype to go to call a Skype number?

Hello,
I would like to call another skype user from my mobile phone, my internet connection is not stable enough from time to time to use the skype app.
Can I get a free Skype to go number, call this number and get connected to a skype number? Or is it for landline and mobile numbers only?
Thank you and greetings!

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.

How can I receive calls from Skype number

Hi, my step-dad has just bought a Skype number.how can he receive calls if he doesn't want to log on using his laptop, for example, can he connect on his mobile or can we buy a phone and connect it to the wifi modem in his house? if he can buy a phone, what phone and where can he buy it?

Hi, does your step dad have a smartphone or tablet? If he does he can load the Skype app and connect to the wifi in his home.If he doesn't have a smartphone then look into getting an Android smartphone from wherever you buy phones from in your country. An entry level device will be sufficent if you don't want to spend much money. You can buy a Skype compatible regular phone but they are not cheap and have to be connected by ethernet to your home router http://dualphone.net/ Another option is to forward his Skype number to his landline (if he has one) and answer the calls there, then use his laptop to make outgoing calls when needed. A subscription would cover this quite cheaply.
