Confusion over Skype numbers and forwarding

I must be getting old because I cannot figure this out. I have a Skype number in USA, one in Japan and one in UK. I also have a worldwide call subscription. (I can call any landline, mobile or Skype account anywhere in the world free of charge (aside from the yearly charge I pay to Skype)) In addition, my business has a US/Can. toll free number. OK? Here is what I want to do. I want all calls to any of these numbers forwarded to my mobile iPhone in Japan. Can anyone help with a step-by-step on how to do this in the cheapest manner with the best call quality. I am assuming I can do this without any per call charges using my subscriptions above. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Confused between Skype Numbers and Skype to Go

Please forgive a newbie asking dumb questions.I am interested in a Skype Number so people can call me but I see I already have a number under Skype to Go. What is that? Is it the same thing? I am totally confused.Do I apply for a new number? If so what do I do with the Skype to Go number?I am sure that I am missing the obvious.Please can someone give me an idiots guide.Thank you

Thank you very much jsp21c. Your reply is explicit.
But, still, I have problem when, I try to call with my S2G number from my mobile device.
Please note that, I have added in my account/skype to go, under Access number my contacts. But, when I call my S2G from my mobile device, either by using my contacts or an international number, I receive, always, message from the operator that I cannot connect. "We are just having a technical problem, please try again in a few minutes". I have been trying to use, this service, days now...
I have, also, tried Skype chat support. But, chat operator asks for my S2G number, which is personal information data, -since chat service is located allover the world, I cannot reveal my S2G number to a chat operator with unknown reference number and my S2G number be safe, afterwards-. If it haven't been, this, S2G number wouldn't be considered from Skype, a personal number not to be revealed.
Nevertheless, can you help me, on where else, can I contact to solve this technical S2G problem? Or, could I solve this problem by performing, myself, any other actions, and what these actions would be?

Re: How much does just a skype number and forwardi...

I am wondering how much does call forwarding cost? (Before I sign up for it)
I had a local Brazilian phone number and I just cancelled the service, because:
1) Quality calls on the PC were very bad
2) I thought I should try call forwarding the number to a landline to help with the quality call
3) I discovered that I had to pay extra for call forwarding
4) I have no idea how much call forwarding cost, there isn't a place on the website that tells me its cost before I sign up for it.
So, my question is how much does call forwarding cost? For now, my local BR number is cancelled.
Thanks.

Confusion over nested tables and system generated nested tables

Hi,
I have been reading other threads about nested tables, naming and updating them etc, but I have what seems
to me some odd behaviour.
I modified my schema to set the attribute xdb:maintainDom to be false for a collection and then registered
the schema with the generate tables option defaulted to true. The result was that I had to add xdb:tableProps
attributes specifying nested table storage at each element above the collection element, this was because Oracle
was creating tables at each level. So I have this kind of thing:
<xsd:element name="BibPt" xdb:SQLType="BIBPT_T"
xdb:defaultTable="BIBPT"
xdb:tableProps="NESTED TABLE XMLDATA.PTEES.PTEE_SEC.PTEE STORE AS NESTED_PTEE_SEC
NESTED TABLE XMLDATA.INVS.INV STORE AS NESTED_INV_BIBPT TABLESPACE BIBLIO">
<xsd:element name="Ptees" xdb:SQLType="PTEES_T" xdb:tableProps="NESTED TABLE
XMLDATA.PTEE_SEC.PTEE STORE AS NESTED_PTEE_SEC2">When I did this the nested tables were created, but when I loaded data never had anything in them. Instead
I found that nestes tables with systems generated names like "SYSNTxxxxxxxxx" has been created that contained
the data.
When I registered the schema without the tables being generated, I created a table with this syntax:
create table poc_wip2 of xmltype
xmlschema "http://www.derwent.co.uk/wpi.xsd" element "WPI"
NESTED TABLE XMLDATA."BibPt".PTEES.PTEE_SEC.PTEE STORE AS NESTED_PTEE_SEC
NESTED TABLE XMLDATA."BibPt".INVS.INV STORE AS NESTED_INV_BIBPT(Thanks to a posting by Sam Monsarrat which showed me this was possible).
Now I had my named nested tables, which contained the data after it was loaded and no system named
nested tables.
So why the difference?
In the first instance why do my named nested tables stay empty and why does the data go into system
generated tables I have no control over as regards tablespace placement?
Is it possible to have a XML schema registered that only generates tables that I have named with the defaultTable
attribute, rather than all or nothing?
And last but not least, what's the best approach for this, since I want to be able to access the data via indexes
on the nested tables.
Thanks
Pete

Hi Pete
Would you please publish the schema you are using?
Thanks,
Tobias

Confused over video sizing and positioning

I'm using FB 4.5.1 to create a mobile app and having a bit of trouble figuring out what's happening with sizing. My stage is 480x800 so that's what I set my container to but no change in video size. So I size the video but I have to use 320x240 to get the full width and aspect ratio... why?
mps = new MediaPlayerSprite();
var container:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
container.width = stage.stageWidth;
container.height = stage.stageHeight;
addElement( container );
container.addChild(mps);
mps.width = 320;
mps.height = 240;
I tried using mps.ScaleMode = "letterbox"; but that didn't do anything and x,y is still 0,0.
I'm using an .flv file to test. I've also tried a .mp4 but I only get audio with that and no video. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Took a look and tried a number of approaches but still the same thing. However, the example uses MediaContainers and LayoutMetadata and I was using the MediaPlayerSprite. So, I took the entire project and put it into my program. Different results, but not necessarily good. The video is about 4x the size of the original (160x120) and its top is halfway down the screen. I messed with StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE a little and got varying results, none of which are close.
I'm wondering should I be using the sprite or do I need the full controls? Is the fact that my project is for a mobile device a problem? As such, I wasn't able to add the child to the stage, I had to create a UIComponent add that to the stage and then the MediaContainer to that.

Confused over Activation Date and Engineer Visit D...

Placed an order for the full lot, phone, internet, TV. This is for a new development, with "BT lines pre-installed" (but not activated).
I will recieve the equipment tommorow and the (estimated) activated is also tommorow, however I have just come to realised the scheduled engineer visit is not tommorow but the day after (Monday), this was moved/changed without notifying me.
I gave BT a call, the kind gentleman on the phone suggested to me because it is a new development, chances of work needing to be carried out inside or anywhere within my property is extremely slim, maybe just to test. I agree here as it seems my neighbours all have working phone lines very quick with minimal hassle.
For fun, I decided to give my own phone number a ring. It connects fine, but because there's no dial tone my phone didn't ring on the line; I assume the activation hasn't been carried out yet.
So my query here is the activation carried out elsewhere or by another team, while the engineer just comes and checks if everything is ok? Best case scenario is that I recieve my equipment tommorow, mainly the phone/router and my phone and internet works when I whack it in, I could care less for the TV right now.
Just to reiterate this is a new development/block of flats and the developers have done everything to make it as easy as possible, as initially they said "just give BT a call and they will activate it for you". I haven't questioned my neighbours yet on how they got their's so fast yet as due to my awkward working hours I can't easily get hold of them without disturbance.

Hi there,
The activation is usually done automatically (may take upto midnight on the day of activation) and then the engineer who will run tests on the line to check that it is stable will make sure it is in running order.
Hope this helps.

Confusion over Context.list and listBindings

Sorry for this newbie question.
How do I list all the bindings I have created? Working on Windows, the JNDI service creates a file called .bindings, which holds all the bindings. I can bind, unbind, rebind and lookup fine. But I cannot list the bindings.
Here is sample code to illustrate what I mean.
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import sun.jdbc.odbc.ee.DataSource;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] arg) throws NamingException {
        final DataSource ds1 = new DataSource();
        final DataSource ds2;
        final Hashtable env = new Hashtable(2);
        final Context ctx;
        // Bind a DataSource to the name "MyTest". The ".bindings" file
        // goes into "C:\My Documents".
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
                "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:C:/My Documents");
        ctx = new InitialContext(env);
        ds1.setDatabaseName(";FILEDSN=MyTest");
        ctx.bind("jdbc/MyTest", ds1);
        // Verify that the DataSource was saved where we can look it up.
        // I have used this method in several programs and it works
        // perfectly.
        ds2 = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/MyTest");
        // Look up the current bindings.
        // This is the part where I'm doing something wrong.
LookUpCurrentBindings :
        for (final NamingEnumeration ne = ctx.list(""); ne.hasMore(); ) {
            final NameClassPair ncp = (NameClassPair) ne.next();
            // I expect the following to show "jdbc/MyTest", but instead
            // it lists the files in the directory "C:\My Documents".
            // For example, "desktop.ini" and ".bindings".
            System.out.println(ncp.getName());
}Thanks for your help!

Aha! I found out what the problem was. It was indeed to do with my "newbie" status in JNDI, not understanding some basics. If the .binding file is in a directory of its own, in this case jdbc, it works! Specifically:
(1) Create the context jdbc within the directory (this creates the directory C:/My Documents/jdbc).
(2) Bind the names within that directory (e.g. MyTest instead of jdbc/MyTest).
(3) The list() and listBindings() functions list both the .binding file (class java.io.File) and the bound objects (their correct classes, in this case sun.jdbc.odbc.ee.DataSource).
Here is the code that I used.
import java.util.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import sun.jdbc.odbc.ee.DataSource;
public class Test2 {
    public static void main(String[] arg) throws NamingException {
        final DataSource ds1 = new DataSource();
        final DataSource ds2;
        final Hashtable env = new Hashtable(2);
        Context ctx;
        // Create a context called "jdbc" within the base directory.
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
                "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:C:/My Documents");
        ctx = new InitialContext(env);
        try {
            // Find the "jdbc" directory as a Context.
            ctx = (Context) ctx.lookup("jdbc");
        } catch (NamingException e) {
            // Create the "jdbc" directory as a Context.
            ctx = ctx.createSubcontext("jdbc");
        // Bind the new DataSource in the context to the name MyTest.
        ds1.setDatabaseName(";FILEDSN=MyTest");
        ctx.bind("MyTest", ds1);
        // Verify that the DataSource was saved where we can look it up.
        ds2 = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("MyTest");
        if (! ds1.getDatabaseName().equals(ds2.getDatabaseName())) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("Oops, something funny happened.");
        // Add another binding, just for fun.
        ctx.bind("ForGoodMeasure", ds2);
        // Look up the current bindings. This displays the file .bindings
        // (class java.io.File) and the bindings within that file (class
        // sun.jdbc.odbc.ee.DataSource).
LookUpCurrentBindings :
        for (final NamingEnumeration ne = ctx.list(""); ne.hasMore(); ) {
            final NameClassPair ncp = (NameClassPair) ne.next();
            System.out.println(ncp.getName() + "\t\t" + ncp.getClassName());
        ctx.close();
}And here is the output.
.bindings               java.io.File
ForGoodMeasure          sun.jdbc.odbc.ee.DataSource
MyTest          sun.jdbc.odbc.ee.DataSourceBala, thank you so much for your input, which led me to the right answer. I shall pass a couple of Dukes your way.

Removing selected Skype numbers

Hi, I have three Skype numbers and would like to cancel two of them but leave the third one untouched. How to do this???

Hi, Kanadian,
Thank you for your report. Please contact Skype Customer Service directly, instead. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of problems reaching their customer service unit. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

Elaine

Disabling Skype Numbers- Major Issue

I have 2 skype numbers and for one of the two, I have been put on a spam list and am now getting about 100 (seriously) calls a day from a multitude of numbers. Now, I need to keep my other number for my job so when I finally find the skype live chat support (which Skype has done very well at hiding), they tell me there is NO way for me to disable my skype number except for waiting until my subscription runs out (in 2 months). Also since there is no way to tell which number someone is calling you on (i.e.skype number #1 or skype number #2), now I have to answer ALL of the calls so I can filter the 3-4 important business calls a day from the 75-150 spam calls I am getting.
Am I missing any ways to disable my number or is skype really this inferior of a service?
This is the last straw for me, Skype is not sitting in good standings with me anymore, not after this fiasco.

Ditto - I agree this is a major issue. Likewise I used my Skype number on contact details for a trade directory and since the New Year we are getting about 30 calls a day from salesmen. I too have purchased a new number, but desperately want to disable the old number. I dont want any kind of refund for the unused portion of my subscription. I have basically had to keep signed out of Skype during working hours in order not to be disturbed! Please help!

Can Skype video call Skype numbers?

I live in Hawaii and there are no Skype numbers here. I haven't used Skype since 2008. My question is: can I call Skype numbers using just the video feature available to Hawaii residents? I want to call UK Skype numbers and Mainland USA Skype numbers. Can I do this?

you can use Skype to make AUDIO-ONLY calls to landlines and mobile numbers anywhere in the world
such ougoing calls from Skype to the 'regular' phone network are known as SkypeOut calls, and they require either sufficient Skype Credit (to pay-as-you-go), or a suitable Skype calling subscription, which you can learn about by clicking here Skype subscription

Changing my Skype number and keeping my credit on ...

Can I change my skype number and transfer my credit for a new Skype number?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Skype numbers and credit are tied to the account. If you add an additional Skype number or replace the number with a new one when the old one expires, then the credit won't change since it's still tied to the account. If you want to transfer the credit from one account to another then as far as I know, it's not possible on standard accounts. If you recently purchased credit within the past 15 days that you didn't use, you could request a refund. You could then apply the money from the refund towards credit on another account.

Skype number and its forwarding

That is the tricky part. Skype does not permit a trial for Skype Numbers or to test call forwarding. What to do?! I would start with a shorter term Skype Number subscription, for the minimum term (as I type this, I can not remember if that is one month or three months), and see how it goes. If the service works for your business, you can renew the subscription for a longer term when the shorter subscription expires at the end of its term.

Re: Skype Number, subscriptions and forwarding whe...

I have a similar question to Fabrizio. I am setting up a small business. I primarily live in Australia but will be travelling a bit.
My understanding is that if I have a Skype number (which appears more professional and as if I have a land line), the caller will not be charged and that those charges will be charged to me.
Am I better to have a subscription and is there any difference in the call charges that are charged?
Also, if I understand correctly, if I travel to, say, Italy, often, I would get a Skype number for Italy. Both the Australian and the Italian Skype numbers would have country prefixes - is that correct?

Hi all,
I have a few questions relating to the Skype Number, which I recently bought.
The main purpose for me using the Skype number is to receive business calls and have them forwarded to my mobile. I have a small business, and want to appear as if I had a landline number.
Here are my queries:
1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
Cheers,
Fabrizio
1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
- If you have set-up call forwarding in Skype, call forwarding status will be set when you're offline in Skype. Calls can also be forwarded when you're online if the call was not answered after a number of rings.
2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
- If you use Skype Credit as a payment method, the forwarded calls will be charged at the Skype’s great pay per minute rates. For example, if you forward your incoming Skype calls to a mobile number in the United States, you’ll be charged exactly what it costs to call a mobile in the United States from Skype.
3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
- You can also purchase a subscription for calls to a country where you want to receive the forwarded calls. For example, if you want your incoming Skype calls to be forwarded to a number in the United States, simply choose a subscription covering calls to the United States.
No matter which payment method you prefer, the person who’s calling you on Skype will still call you for free.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Forward Skype number and Skype calls calls to different cell phones

Hello, A short assistance please.So, I understand that skype number fowards calls.Also, that a skype number is associated with a skype account. My questions: is it possible to forward the calls made to the skype number to one (cell) number and the ones to the skype account to different cell? *Or because the skype number and the skype account are associated to one another- I can only foward calls to one (Cell) phone. So lets say I have a skype account: ABCand a skype number that is associated to it: 123 Can I have calls to ABS forwarded to cell number A1and calls to 123 forwarded to call number A2? Thank you for helping out,Ben
