Cannot connect to ANY toll free numbers in the USA...

I am unable to use Skype to call ANY toll free numbers any where on the planet EVER! 95% of them are in the USA and 5% are in Canada. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling etc. but it is useless. I can only make calls with the company's main numbers or non toll free numbers for a fee. Can any one help? Is Skype blocking toll free numbers? Thank you in advance for any information!

Usually the toll free number resides at the service provider and they just translate that number into one of your DIDs. You can either look through documentation or call the service provider to ask which 1800 numbers map to which DIDs. From there it sounds like you'll need to investigate call handlers in your voicemail system correlated to that DID.

Re-directing Toll free numbers to Skype

Hi,
Our company in Australia has started using skype for communication purposes and we would like to add a toll-free number to the services. I have discovered from the other posts that skype doesn't allow to add toll-free numbers.
If so, can we re-direct the toll-free numbers to the skype numbers so that we can continue tracking the call logs and take maximum benefit from using skype.
Please let me know the procedure to do the above.
Thank you

Cannot fax 1 800 / 888 / toll free numbers from overseas

Dear HP,
I'm writing because using your fax machine from Germany (or Europe in general) for doing work with US firms is almost impossible. Since the US has had many fax numbers move from traditional area codes to 800 or 888 (free numbers) I am often unable to send faxes with this very expensive fax/scanner/printer that I bought. Your firm ware wrong gives up on connecting too early since when dialing/faxing a toll free number in the US prompts an audio recording first stating that "When calling a toll free number outside of the US you will be charged normal dialing rates. Stay on the line if you wish to continue". However, the HP fax machine just gives up and there seems to be no way to change / fix for this. Please advise since I obviously cannot be the only person outside of the US trying to do business with US companies. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Aaron

Hello Aaron,
For a such perfor a manual dialing from the fax, that should overcome a such.
Follow these steps to send such a fax internationally, basically press on Start Fax and dial when you hear a dial tone by following the steps, the fax will act as any other phone..

Check this post, the dial assist is part of the iOS 7.1, according to page 49 of the iphone_user_guide
Make calls to your contacts and favorites while traveling abroad. (GSM) Go to Settings > Phone and turn on Dial Assist. Dial Assist automatically adds the prefix or country code for calls to the U.S.

Re: How to save toll free no starts with 1800?

Toll- ¨FREE¨numbers are not so Free with a subscri...

I am in Mexcio, needing to make a nuber of calls to Canada & the USA, many of them toll-free numbers (1-800 / 1-888...) but, my PAID SKYPE subscription has been eaten up by these Toll-free numbers, which have you navigate through voice menu options, which then eats up time.
And of course I can´t get any Skype support beyond communty members issues, that have their own issues with skype & don´t answer my issue directly.
This is ridiculous!
I have managed to get a hold of other websites / providers who don´t even begin to make the money Skypde does, so what IS the money being used for, since customer support is clearly not one of them, nor is good user-friendly websdesign???!!
Completely unimpressed Skype.
Feels like a scammer who won´t allow himself to be contacted. Why? Too busy selling more product to unwary buyers.

I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

How to identify toll free numbers in CUCM

Hi
I am new to this Cisco VOIP system.
My Company has many toll free numbers. I need to know where can I find the toll free number details. I had a request today to alter few settings in them. But I dont know what to do and where to do.
Eg : 800326xxxx is the number. Request is - When people call in, they have to press 1 for billing and 2 for sales and 3 for enquiry and 4 for voice mail.
How do I go for it. Where should I start.
Again As I am new, I really appreciate if someone could explain how to identify these toll free numbers in this cisco system and help me in this request with simple steps and simple english. THanks.

Getting Bombarded by Telemarketers and Toll-Free Numbers

Okay, let's start from the beginning:
Preface, we have had the same cell phone numbers for over 10 years and we have not had one telemarketing or unwanted call.
We started with Verizon Digital Voice on August 26th. By September 1st, we got our first telemarketing call. By September 15th, we had enough telemarketing calls to demand a phone number change.
When we got a new number, we demanded that the phone number be non-published (which the first number was supposed to be). We also received asistance with Incoming Call Block. We thought the issue was resolved. Dead Wrong.
To bring things to a head, we are getting cushed by toll-free numbers and telemarketers. Here are the phone numbers that are currently in our Incoming Call Block list: (800) 238-3770 (800) 477-6441 (800) 715-6478 (800) 726-9594 (800) 727-1182 (800) 978-7819 (866) 265-5945 (866) 759-8002 (888) 277-8353 (888) 688-0224
Here is the problem, one of these numbers, (800) 477-6441, consistently gets through the block. I have done the following to try and resolve this issue:
- Removed the phone number and add it back in
- Forward the phone number to a Google Voice number
- Added all personal and business phone numbers to the Federal Do-Not-Call list
We are getting very annoyed with this situation and have even thought about getting something like http://www.digitone.com/ to supplement the phone service. Is there anything that we can do outside of added hardware? Does Verizon offer a way to block all toll-free numbers?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Oh, okay. Thanks for clarifying. Luckily for us, there is no Early Termination Fee because we are not under contract. Our complex has a terrific deal with Verizon which includes no contract. That being said, if we do decide to get the device, I will absolutely give a honest, objective review.

Unable to call UK toll-free numbers

Since the beginning of April, calls to UK toll-free numbers beginning with +44500 have not been working. Skype returns an error message of invalid number. Anyone able to advise? Thank you.

Calls to UK toll-free numbers +44500

Since Oct. 24th 2014, calls to UK toll-free numbers +44500 have not been working. The message given by Skype is NUMBER NOT VALID. Does anyone know why? or who to speak to to report the problem? Thank you

That generally means the area code at this time is unreachable via the Skype network. I understand the range is going to be fully retired/replaced in the future but that's still a few years off. This is more than likely a temporary setback for whatever reason though they may have had reasons to exclude it permanently. It would be best to contact Skype Customer Service to inquire about it. I personally have tried several 0500 numbers and received the same error for all of them.

Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

I cannot connect to any wifi.

I cannot connect to ANY WIFI. It asks for a password for my network and I do not use a password. However, I tried every password I have ever used to no avail. It does not find any other network either, but my laptop finds 4 others locally in my community. It worked before without problems.

Okay, I went through everything you suggested, checked all of my settings. Everything seems to be correct. I tried a WiFi connection again today, and I got the Airport Mode message, but instead of hitting "retry" (and then just giving up), I hit "done" and it worked just fine. So...I'll just ignore that message about Airport Mode and hit done each time.
Thank you for your assistance on this.

Automatic update failed because I chose DO not Allow. Now, cannot connect to any servers. How do I fix this?

Yesterday Firefox did an automatic update. I was in a hurry out the door when I chose what I think was the wrong option. The options were., "Allow Always, "Allow only Once, or "Do Not Allow". I either chose allow only once, or do not allow because now I cannot connect to any server through Mozilla Firefox. How do I fix this problem?

Was that a message from your firewall?
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
