Combining Skype and Skype for business accounts
Hi Guys, My company have provided me with Skype for Business today and setup an account using my work email address. I've been using Skype for a number of years and have all of my clients on there (200+ contacts) What is the simplest way to move across? Is there a way of combining my Skype account and my Skype for business account? Or alternatively is there a way to export my Skype contacts and to import them into Skype for business? I see you can export from Skype but couldn't see a way to import into Skype for business. Your help would be much appreciated. Will

When yoy start typing in the field s of contacts you will have the choice between "My Contacts" and the "Skype Directory" I was able to add most of my businerss contacts, I agree it can be tedious at a time if you have 50+ contacts from Skype...I would be happy to get a programmatic way to to this.Interesting. I don't get this options in my version of Skype for Business (I.m using v15.0.4711) Which version are you running; or is this an option? I can't see anyting obvious in the Tool->Options menu Whats also annoying is that this wasn't mentioned by Skype/Microsoft customer support?

Skype for Business banned after 30 mins
Hello,
I created a Skype for Business account and 30 minutes later it was banned for violation of term. Please help me reinstate my account. Skype team refuse to tell which clause I violated. I honestly believe I have wronged nobody. How do i violate anything in such a short amount of time?
Thanks.

Do you mean your Skype Manager account was suspended?
Regardless, you must contact Skype Customer Service directly to enquire. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
As you know must contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction when FAQ articles and other information is presented, some of which may be helpful and provide insight, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request.

Skype for Business integration?
Hi. I work for a small company. We have a few members of staff in the UK who work from home and the rest are in an office in the US. In the UK, we use the Skype Number as our 'office' number and have Skype credit for making calls.
Our IT person in the US wants to get everyone using Skype for Business as we now have this as part of our Office 365 subscription with Office, Exchange etc.
My question is thus whether I can get any of the Skye Number and Skype credit features on the Skype for Business account? I've searched high-and-low and it doesn't look like we can, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone can help me with a definitive answer.
Thanks!justj wrote:

Can Skype for Business do international calls ? If...
Hello,
So the company that I work for will change from Lync to Skype For Business. Please correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've reasearched you can add regular Skype contacts from the Skype directory and also have international calls. Basically we want to do international calls and skype conversation from Canada to France by dialing a phone number in skype. How much are the rates if one Skype for Business account has the ability to do international calls ? I couldnt find any information regarding international calls.

Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
1. That is correct.
2. With Skype calls your location is irrelevant. All calls are "local" worldwide.
3. To call to France from anywhere [including from within France] the rates are detailed here for both calls using a Subscription and calls using Skype Credit.

The company I work for have just replaced Lync with Skype for Business, but how can I have Skype for Buiness and my "normal" Skype on the same laptop
They are two different programs. I have both installed on several machines without issue. I doubt you can use both simultaneously fully (like being on a video call on both at the same time, I don't know why you would) but they can definitely be installed side by side on the same computer.

Need Help with Skype for Business!
I purchased the Skype for business for an entire year. Now, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to log in. Do I have to link it to original skype? I am new to this and have no knowledge of the formats of Skype or it for business.
Subject/title expanded to reflect post content a little more accurately.Hi, and no need to feel stupid!
Welcome to this on-line community.
A few questions for you to clarify the Skype product you are working with, so we can send you in the right direction in an effort to resolve the problem:
Are you referring to either Skype Manager, or Skype Connect? Do you recall what "business" product you have?
Or, what are you trying to sign in to? A Skype account via the Skype website, or the software itself?
This FAQ article should help unravel the mysteries of the differences between a personal Skype account and a Skype For Business (formerly known as Lync) configuration: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34551/what-s-the-difference-between-skype-and-skype-for-business
Thanks in advance for providing the additional details.

Elaine

Skype for business for Office 365
Hi Team,
I need to upgrade my current Lync 2013 to Skype for business and as per information i got an update released by Microsoft KB2889923 ... this is used to upgrade Lync 2013 to skype for business.......but in case of Office 365 this update dosent seems to work......
so i wanted to know if there is any other update or package or any other way to upgrade office 365 Lync.Hi,
Please check out this thread
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/t/345370.aspx
“Q2. Where can I download Skype for Business since it does not appear to be included with the Office365 download file? ====================== A2. You need to manually update your Office application,
then you will be able to upgrade to Skype for Business. You can to do this on your Outlook client: Open your Outlook client ->
FILE ->
Office Account ->
Apply updates”
And this issue is more related to Office 365 application, we would like to give a hand, but we are not the specialists in this filed. Thanks
for your understanding.
Best regards,
Eric

Hello,
One of our customers is planning to implement Skype for Business in their infrastructure with 150+ users. They have some questions regarding Skype and we are unable to answer some of them, so i kindly ask you to assist us with the answers of those questions:
Is it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
Is it possible to block (centraly) the options to change the address book or the settings in Skype?
Is there a option to have centraly managed history log?
Are there any additional fees for the implementation and how much SkypeOut $ credit is required to enable Skype for Buisness?
Thank you and best regards,
Zhivko ZhekovIs it possible to block all external users (contacts, messages and free skype calls) and comunicate only with the internal employees?
Yes. Let you configure your company's firewall/router to only allow connections on a certain port thats routed via LAN and have all internal users set alternative port for Skype.
I'll assume with the above question, each Skype ID doesn't have any external contacts already incorporated into each account for company use only.
More details on what ports are required for Skype:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA148/which-ports-need-to-be-open-to-use-skype-for-windows-desktop
If they using Mobile version of Skype, that could get trickier as they probably would still be connected different service provider giving them external access on ports if logged into Skype in two places at once. *I haven't tried this but that's what I would suggest*
Thanks,
