Can't Get Skype Number in Canada - Incoming Calls ...

Brand new here and thought I had all the info I needed to set up for Skype calls.  Unbeknownst to me, in Canada we can not get Skye numbers!  So my question is, can I receive calls on my Kobo Arc tablet through Skype?  Or am I imprisoned by the Canadian telecommunication Nazis to pay a gazzillion dollars a month for a landline...

    Why can't I get a Skype number for Canada?
    Post transferred to create its own new thread.
    Subject/title amended accordingly.

    Hi, Davidann, and welcome to the Community!
    I arranged to transfer your post here to the Features: Skype Number message board as your enquiry is not related specifically to the BlackBerry Z10.  If you type the words "Skype Number for Canada" in the Search the Community search box appearing at the upper right corner of this website page, you will find a plethora of threads (topics) related to this issue.
    The short story is this is due to a regulatory issue in Canada.
    Kind regards,

  • I can't get skype to alert me of incoming calls/videos/messages on my apple device

    I can't get skype to alert me of incoming calls/videos/messages on my apple device, unless I have the app open in front of me.I have tried to contact different microsoft help desks. I have checked all my settings and have looked at all the help forums available and now am turning to you.Isn't it possible to be notified of incomming calls/videos/messages when my phone is in standby mode? Any help?

    I'll assume you have allowed notifications from Skype turned on both in the device settings and in the app settings.
    The only other thing I can suggest is checking that the conversations have not been muted by the app (go into the conversation, tap ..., tap notifications and make sure notifications are on) as the iPad version has a nasty habit of doing this without warning.

  • Skype number for Canada

    I live in Ontario, Canada. I'm trying to set up a skype number for Canada, but it wont let me.
    How do I get a number for my area code?

    Hi, CanadianSkype, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, Skype Numbers are not available in Canada.  I understand from Canadian Super User Neil and Moderator NormanM that this is due to a regulatory restriction.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • I have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    have an iphone4 and my husband merge his numbers with mine and i think it was deleted can you tell me how can he get his number back on his phone

    Do you possibly mean the contacts have been merged?
    If so, where are each of you syncing contacts?  A supported application on the computer? iCloud or another cloud service? An Exchange server?
    WIthout details, it's difficult to offer specific resolutions.

Help me please - is there something I need to do to the contacts because tehy came from Outlook? Thanks

  • Can i get a number of rows in the select list??

    Hello~
    I am studying the "oracle call interface". but i don't know much about oci.
    Anyway i want to know that how can i get a number of rows.
    for example, there is a source code of the number of colums in the select list.
    The following is a list of DB(example)
    /*DB table*/
    ID NAME CODE ID
    1 A 1 A
    2 B 2 B
    /*source*/
    err = OCIAttrGet ((dvoid *) stmhp, (ub4)OCI_HTYPE_STMT, (dvoid*)
    &parmcnt, (ub4 *) 0, (ub4)OCI_ATTR_PARAM_COUNT, errhp);
    /*result*/
    The Column is 4. (ID, NAME, CODE, ID)
    So, i think that the row is 3 (ID, 1, 2) in the DB table.
    Simply, Can i get a number of rows in the select list??
    for example,
    err = OCIAttrGet ((dvoid *) stmhp, (ub4)OCI_HTYPE_STMT, (dvoid*)
    &parmcnt, (ub4 *) 0, (ub4)OCI_ATTR_RAW_COUNT, errhp);
    I'm trying to get the number of row count. but i can't find.
    Please, could you let me know that how can i get the number of row count.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for your reply.
    we are tested the source code by reply.
    The following is the test source code.
    /*source code*/
    strcpy (szStatement, "SELECT * from DB_TABLE");
    OCIStmtPrepare(gpOCIReadStmHandle, gpOCIErrHandle, szStatement,
         strlen(szStatement), OCI_NTV_SYNTAX, OCI_DEFAULT);
    OCIStmtExecute(gpOCISvcHandle, gpOCIReadStmHandle, gpOCIErrHandle,
         0, 0, 0, 0, OCI_DEFAULT);
    /* get a number of rows count , Reply : prajithparan*/
    OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)gpOCIReadStmHandle, OCI_HTYPE_STMT, (dvoid *)&nRowCount, NULL, OCI_ATTR_ROW_COUNT, gpOCIErrHandle))
    But There is a problem of the result value.
    The result value is 0. It's mean that the row count is 0. and then we are using the all of fuction is succeed.(return value)
    I don't know what is problem. Please let me know about the problem and solution.
    Thank you.

  • I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Logged in and can not get serial number. Says it is incorrect. Going in circles.

    Can't get serial number for Photoshop Elements. I'm logged in. I have a redemption code and also codes on the back of the box. nothing works and am running in circles. I want to install and use it and can't because I can't get the correct serial number. On the front of the box it says use the card (with redemptiom code to receive the serial number.HELP!!!

    Dear Brian,
    I activated my product in August of 2014.  I had it a few months, October, when my computer crashed.  Therefore I had to go back to Adobe tell them what happened, and then until December I had noticed that it said that I had a trial copy.  I was not worried, as I had the serial number.  it was working, but in January I got a message that my "trial" copy had expired. 
    At that time I had contacted Adobe and was told that because it was beyond the 3 months, they would no longer help me.
    Therefore, at one point, when the computer crashed, I had not deactivated the program.  But Adobe had gotten it working for me again. 
    I do not know what happened between October and December to have changed the software from a real copy to a trial copy.
    Now to your patient questions.
    As you wrote, that is what happens to the point of getting the trial copy, but when I follow the process through, I get a message that my "trial copy has expired".    When I go the the editor, the whole process loops again, sign in, trial copy, licence page, add serial number, then the message that the trial has expired.
    When I got that message the first few times months ago, I went back to the Adobe web site and downloaded another copy.  (I have done this numerous times)  It still said that I had a trial copy and that it had expired, there is a box to licence this software, when I click that, I have to sign in again, This time I also had gone to the Adobe web site signed in and left it open, while I put in the serial number, hoping that would help (have also tried that before).  It waits and then the Editor/Organized box comes up again.  When I go to the Editor, it tells me that this is a trial copy which has expired and it starts all over again.
    I was so frustrated, that I waited a couple of months to try it again.   The thinking was that there was some glitch that would work it self out and I could again  down load a clean copy of the original, not a trial.  (I do not know how I keep getting a trial copy of PSE 12, as it is not even offered on the site.)
    The crazy thing is this morning when I turned on my computer, I had an update for the Adobe PSE 12 and Camera Raw.  Probably because I had downloaded a copy again. 
    When I go the the web site to down load a copy of the PSE !2, I am doing it from the My accounts/ products page and downloads.  I have left the web page open to copy the serial number from that page, although it always matches my notes. 
    ThanksT

  • Can't get my number pad to work - No Num Lock

    Hello,
    I recently got my iMac with the wireless keyboard and noticed that I can not get my number pad to work. There is no num lock button to turn on/off, just the clear button. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks
    Jay

    This is from the built-in Mac Help.
    Hope it works for you.
    My numeric keypad doesn't work
    The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
    Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.
    If you have a separate numeric keypad on your keyboard, the Num Lock key is located in the numeric keypad. If you're using a portable computer, the Num Lock is a function key, marked Num Lock (F6). If your keyboard has a separate keypad but no Num Lock key, try pressing Shift-Clear.
    Most portables have a group of keys on the keyboard that can function as the numeric keypad. To find the keypad, look for small numbers or symbols in the lower-right corner of keys on the right side of your keyboard. Press the Num Lock key (F6) to turn on the keypad. The green light glows on the Num Lock key when the keypad is active.

    Hi,
       You can try this:
    * Let's say the table's datasource is a node called Table  and it has two attributes first & second.
    * You want to check if any of these attributes has been changed by the user or not. If they have been
    * changed then you want to do some validations against them.
      int sizeOfTable = wdContext.nodeTable().size();
      for(int i = 0; i < sizeOfTable; i++){
         IPrivate<view name>.ITableElement ele = wdContext.nodeTable().getTableElementAt(i);
         if(ele.isChangedByClient(ITableElement.<attribute name>)){
            //value has been changed, do some validation. You can get the row index using ele.index().
    Regards,
    Satyajit.
