Canadian online phone numbers

How do I recind the payment for unlimited world-wide phone calling feature when I cannot purchase an online Canadian phone number? The policy is redundant and quite unethical if you know that protocols exist concerning the non-existent policy of Canadian online phone numbers.

Actually it is not redundant nor unethical.
Skype users are able to call phone numbers without having an Online Number to receive calls from telephones.  Skype users can also purchase an Online Number to receive calls from telephones, and not keep Skype Credit on their account (or have a subscription) to call telephones.  One is not connected to the other.  Skype offers a 50% discount for an Online Number after you purchase a subscription for calling telephones, but the Online Number is optional with the subscriptions.  Many confuse this, but Skype is pretty clear on this (see the links for "Online number" and "Phones and mobiles" below). Skype is a worldwide service that people can use from any number of devices, and Skype has decided not to connect callers to emergency service numbers (911 in the USA and Canada, 999 in the UK, 000 in Australia, etc.).  Unless something changes - either Skype provides ways to reach those emergency service numbers, or the Canadian authorities make their regulations for issuing phone numbers mirror those in the USA and other countries - we're out of luck when it comes to having Canadian Online Numbers through Skype. 
Should you decide to cancel your subscription, you can do that.  You can log into your Skype account through the Skype web site, select your subscription, and cancel it from there.  Or follow the instructions in http://support.skype.com and type in "cancel subscription" to see more details on how to do that.

  • How much for online phone number

     I was going to activate my skype account until YOU ASKED FOR MONEY! I then found where skype to skype is free but don't you have to have a calling plan which would cost me money and I found where a person has to purchase an online phone number but I can't find anything about how much this phone number would cost. 
      I have read way too many negative posts about skype, like people wanting to cancel their subscriptions but can't, being overcharged two or three times, or trying to cancel a reoccuring bill. I would like to know how I can remove all of my information from the skype files. Question: do you sell or rent our information to third parties?
      I will not be activating my skype account. What a waste of time this was.

  • How do you get a list of your contacts nick names and their phone numbers on line and print them out?

    How do you get a list of your contacts nick names and their phone numbers on line and print them out?  I've been trying to figure out how to get the list to print out but I can't even find a complete list to view on Verizon's web site.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    Log into your online account. In the, 'I want to', box type, Manage Contacts.
    Place your cursor over any contact, a pop screen will appear with the option to print your contacts

  • Back up Assistant lost all my business contact phone numbers

    Saturday My Droid 3 that had already been difficult to use because it would not keep a new phone contact and would freeze in emergencies (I am talking get an ambulance, input a doctor's number while standing in the emergency room, or in business meetings, occasions like that) started losing the screen, it would go black if I opened the keyboard and then freeze with a black screen, continuously. It would not respond to attempts to turn it off. I took out the battery for a minute and put it back in and rebooted only to have the same thing happen over and over if I tried to use an app, make a call, view picture gallery, whatever. So I took my phone to the Oklahoma City, OK Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE. I showed the sales people my frozen black screen phone and that the back was broken and was being held on only at the top and by the neoprene case. They took the battery out and  put it back in and declared my problem solved and told me that my phone was like a computer and needed to be turned off once a day and kept charged. I assured them that I was aware of this and that I did turn it off and let it reset and I charged it up every night and sometimes in the day as needed. The FIRST SOLUTION was to reformat the phone which WIPED ALL INFORMATION AND APPS OFF OF MY PHONE. I let them do that and they sent me home with it to replace all my information and apps.
    Now I come to find that ALL MY BUSINESS CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS ARE MISSING from using Back Up Assistant. This is critical for my work!
    ALL CONTACT INFORMATION was missing on my online account! Why would that happen? I will synch what is left on my phone to my BACK UP ASSISTANT account online.
    I still haven't transferred the sim card to my "replacement phone". How can I insure that I don't lose all my contact information again???
    I am going to Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE directly after work. If they lose my business contact information and phone numbers, I will be forced to re-enter 200+ contacts before I leave to go out of state for work tomorrow..
    Any suggestions for a positive result?
    THE CUSTOMER SERVICE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

        Hello Drucatic
    I'm sorry you were not able to get the contacts back. I know how irritating it would be to reload all those contacts.Were the contacts synced with the Gmail account? Please try backing it up with Gmail. Are you able to log in online  at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon ?If so, Please log in and check the trash the contacts may of accidently been moved.
    Thank you

  • Is it possibloe to get a detailed break down of my calls and sms that would include phone numbers?

    I am on a family plan and was wondering is it possible to get a detailed break down of my calls and sms that would include phone numbers for my line only?

    If you are the account owner, you can log into your My Verizon ccount online and view the usage details for all the lines on the account.  If you are only an account member, you should be able to view some details for your line, but I am not sure exactly how much.

  • Has anyone else lost all their phone numbers?

    Just checked Contacts while trying to make a phone call and i don't see any of my phone numbers..I had probably 50+ in my contacts list.  What gives?  What do I do now?

    Good Afternoon nuthnbutnet,
    That must be frustrating when you can't save all of your valuable contacts. Google is a great suggestion for the Fascinate. Additionally, you can access your Backup Assistant application online via "My Verizon." You will have the option to sync your contacts online if all of the numbers have been saved and are displayed.

  • Buying a Skype online phone number

    I have an older version of MacOS X version 10.4.11 and my system won't upgrade. I have a US/Canada 2.99 mo subscription and I have no problems making outbound calls. I want to purchase an online phone number so people can call me. Do I have to purchase $60 credit BEFORE I have this option? As I have previously designated and clicked on the "ONLINE PHONE NUMBER" option - it takes me to the country, then the state, and then it just stops without going any further with subscription plans. CAN YOU HELP ME as nothing seems to work and I've spent several days trying - I think maybe my older version of Skype maybe the problem ...

    If you are planning on using Skype Credit, you should purchase the credit before going through the process to purchase the Online Number.  Otherwise, you can use some other form of payment - credit card, PayPal, etc. - for the purchase. 
    After you select the state, you should be taken to a screen where you can select the city and area code for your number, then search for a combination of digits you'd like in your number.  Or you can go with one of the suggested numbers, and you can usually click on a link for more available numbers to choose from in that city and area code.  You have to select a number here before you see the pricing and whether you want the number for 3 or 12 months at a time.  If you have the subscription you mentioned, you woudl qualify for the 50% discount.

  • Skype phone numbers; what do I get for what I pay?

    Hey all, first time user here so please bear with me.
    I'm ditching my home phone and getting a Skype phone instead.
    My plan is to get a 12-month unlimited plan for Canada and the US, and a Skype Phone Number.
    Problem is, I'm not sure if I can get a Canadian number.
    If I *CAN* get a Canadian number, I need to know if I automatically get one when I sign up for a 12-month unlimited plan.
    Finally, I need to know if I can log in to any Skype-supported device and use this unlimited plan, be it on a computer, mobile phone, iPad or game console. 
    Thanks very much for your help!!

    Hello,
    1. Unfortunately there are no Canadian Online #s.
    2. You can make calls from a computer or Skype compliant phone using either a Skype Call Plan or Skype Credit.

  • Grouping of incoming & outgoing phone numbers

    My cell is used for both work and personal calls.  Is there a way online without calling customer service that I can printout a summary of incoming and outgoing calls for each phone number through a period of time?  My bill only shows every incoming and outgoing as they're made.

    Yes. I just tested it to see if it worked and could go back to prior months.
    Login to your account. Select billing and usage.
    Select the phone line. Change to talk. You can then select the column with phone numbers by clicking on that header. It then sorts by that, phone number column.
    It does the same for text if that matters.

  • Merging Phone numbers and email addresses in a new user account

    OK... here goes....
    For the last 10 years my wife and I have shared one user account on our desktop computer, a G5 tower.
    We have been able to successfully keep our 'digital lives' separate because I used Apple Mail and Address Book with my iPhone, syncing with mobile me. She used Microsoft Entourage and a flip phone.
    She has just gotten an iPhone 4S and I want her to be able to sync contacts with Address Book. So... I am FINALLY setting her up with her own user account and getting her to use Apple Mail and Address Book. We do NOT want my Address Book to sync with her new iPhone.
    I think I can import her messages and mailboxes into Mail in the new user account easy enough. And I am pretty sure I can get her Entourage email addresses into Address Book also. I have seen some articles online and I think I got it straight.
    Here is the part I am not sure about. When she got her iPhone last week the Verizon store transfered her PHONE NUMBERS into the iPhone form her old flip phone. How do we merge the email addresses (from Entourage) and phone numbers (currently on the new iPhone) into Address Book?
    I am asuming there are gong to be many double entries and such as the names will not match.... but i do not want to overwrite anything and lose data. Will we just have to suck it up and manually merge the data?
    We can not use iCloud yet, as the machine is not Intel and is only running Leopard. There is a new Mac Mini in our near future and I will get the iCloud running for her soon enough. And I anticipate no issues moving over her new user account, from the G5 over to the new Mini. 
    I ONLY use my white Intel MacBook running Lion and the iCloud to keep MY life in sync these days and doubt I will put my MacBook user account on the new desktop... but I might at some point.
    Thanks

  • Re: making a copy of sim phone numbers

    I have over 400 phone numbers on my micro sim and want to make a copy of them on my pc in case my new iphone is ever lost or stolen.  Is there any way to sync them in itunes yet keep them separate from my email contacts?
    I use outlook express for email but don't want to sync these to the phone as there are way too many and they will only clutter up my contacts list.
    I've tried the online iphone 4 manual and looked online but can't find any way to do it and I don't have a sim card reader.
    Please help!

    The iPhone does not store data on the SIM. It can read contact information on a SIM that's inserted, but it can not modify or save data on the SIM. The iPhone is designed to sync contact information to a supported address book application on a PC or MAC. Select what application you want to sync with within iTunes on the Info tab. MAKE SURE you have at least one entry in the address book on the computer before setting up the sync. If you do, you will be prompted to merge the phone and computer address books. If you do not, the phone will be overwritten with the blank address book from the computer.

  • TRANSFERRING SKYPE PHONE NUMBERS TO NEW ACCOUNT?

    I have 2 subscriptions/phone numbers on my current skype account - one for Australia and one for New Zealand. Since I can't change my skype name, can I transfer the subscriptions/phone numbers to a new account? I have recently been married, so my name has changed and I use the phone numbers for business so it's important I'm using my correct name... Grateful for some advice

    Hi, KDelaney, and welcome to the Community,
    Congratulations!
    Have you considered changing your name as it is displayed?
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-change-my-skype-name-or-display-name-in-skype-for-windo...
    Skype does not permit the transfer of anything from one account to another, regardless of what it is (credit, subscriptions, Skype Numbers, etc.).  If you wish to start over again, as if you had moved to a different location, you would cancel the subscriptions and Skype Numbers on your first account, and add the same new subsriptions to a new account.  Likewise with credit, you can request a refund of the credit on the first account and then purchase new credit for the new second account.
    Anticipating your next question, it would be an interesting and convenient feature if Skype had a facility to forward one account to another, but alas they do not.
    Best regards,
    Elaine
