Display Skype Number on Forwarded Calls
First, I have a Skype Number and I pay for a Skype Premium account. My Skype Account stays forwarded most of the time to another phone.
When someone calls my Skype Number and it forwards to phone, I would like my Skype Number to be displayed on my phone as the Caller ID. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Mark
technically it would be a violation of Skype terms and conditions for three users to use the same Skype account, but a call to a shared Skype Name will ring, more or less simulataneously, on all Skype clients where this Skype Name is signed in
but it IS possible to forward any unanswered call to as many as three other Skype Names at the same time -- ringing stops when one of those users answers the incoming call, and it does not matter if they are already in a call (essentially Skype has built-in Call Waiting capability)
these users can each have their own calling subscription, and it sounds like Unlimited Europe would be a likely candidate -- whether you administer these accounts under Skype Manager is up to you, and the main consideration will likely be whether you want to fund the subs centrally, or let each user expense the services separately
Regards,
Neil

Forwarding displays SKYPE number incorrectly
We use a skype number to forward to our landline phone. Until recently, when someone called the number, the originating caller id was shown on the receiving phone (correctly).
Recently, the caller ID we see when someone calls is a generic Bakersfield CA number (661-380-4773 is an example).
How do i get the original caller's caller ID to display on the destination phone??I'm having similar recent issues, have you had any luck solving this?

I need Skype credit to forward calls!?
So I have an unlimited subscription (paid for a year in full) and a Skype number (also paid for a year in full) and I have call forwarding setup to go to my mobile phone whenever I am logged off Skype. It's been working fine and under my "View Call History" it shows these calls with a Rate and Amount of 0.000, so all is well.
Problem is when I use the Windows 7 desktop client. Anytime I go into setting and do anything I always get this message when I hit save: "You need to have some Skype credit to forward calls to mobile or landlines."
I'm really confused by this message.Hi, Susan..., and welcome to the Community,
The answer is yes: calls to your Skype account or Skype Number which you answer immediately, without forwarding the call, do not incur charges. However, if you choose to forward the call onward to another mobile or fixed line number, Skype sees this as a new call for which credit or a subscription is required in order to cover the cost.

Illegal use of my skype number to make calls
Can anyone use your Skype number to make calls? I had a return call today from someone I do not know and they were returning a call they said I made earlier today and this person had my Skype number correctly. How can someone, or anyone for that matter, use my Skype number to make calls? Is there a way to stop that? Anyone with an answer, please respond.

Well, as I mentioned before, if it's a HH2 and the rear of it is in view of the public, then every Thomas, Richard and Harry will be able to see the wireless key and make full use of the Internet.
Hi.
Although possible, that's not entirely true. If the user has altered the wireless key, then viewing the back of the hub will not help
But how many out there in BT land actually do change it?
BT only prompt the user to change the default admin password if and when they first access the hub.
At least BT thought about the label design on the HH3, keeping it hidden until needed.
I reckon hardly anyone would change the wireless key to be honest , but I wonder how many leave them in a window ...

Skype Number and Recieving Calls
Hello,
I wanted to know once I have a Skype Number, and someone calls me, do I pay any additional cost for the phone call besides the 18 dollars for the number if the person I am talking to is in the United States and the Skype Number is a US number?salam-o-alekum
brother use some proxy first like pptp or hotspot shield and then make call, this will fix your problem i think because many voice ports are blocked by PTA. -
My MX local skype number is active, current on billing and the forward is setup to a US (Dallas, TX) landline. The forward is not working properly and going to a message saying the number is inactive. The direct US landline number is working properly. Any suggestions?
I wish I could edit my prior notes so I did not need to add comment to it as a reply to myself. Anyway, I updated the forwarding number in my Skype and put a Canadian number, and that is not working either. I thought the problem might be for an Iranian number but call forwarding not working for a Canadian number as well. So Skype simply sent me an email saying you have a voice mail (since I has not online connected to Skype).
Please help -

when you call your STG access number, you are then causing a SkypeOut call to be launched on your behalf, which is why you need credit or a calling subscription
it is possible to configure Skype so that your Skype Number is displayed on the destination phone when you make SkypeOut calls
see here for more details

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.fols wrote:

Skype number forwarding to mobile costing to much each receiving call??
Hi, I brought a skype number, I only want to use it for receiving incoming calls.. I do not wish to call anyone on my skype number.. But I've been having to buy credit a few times now because each time someone calls my skype number & i have it so it forwards to my mobile phone it's costing me to much ? Is there a cheaper way I can have my Skype number & receive incoming calls forwarded to my mobile phone? When I answer not on Skype, iPhone mobile phone number I pick the call from?? I subscribed to something I thought was it but I was rong because I still have no credit to receive calls to my mobile phone?
Can someone help me please ?Hey, Mell.johns
Welcome to the Skype Community!
To better understand your inquiries, let me re-word your questions and then attempt to answer it.
Q: Is there a cheaper way to receive incoming calls from my Skype Number on my mobile phone?
A: Sure, you can answer calls from your iPhone for no additional charge by using Skype for iPhone! Sign in and your calls will ring there at the same time your computers signed onto Skype would!
Q: When I'm not on Skype, can I pick the call up from my iPhone mobile number?
A: Yes, but that requires Skype Credit or a calling subscription for calling out. Again, picking up from the iPhone app won't cost you more.
If these questions & answers do not satisfy you, please attempt to re-explain your questions in further detail so that we could try this again!

Have Skype Number - wish to display it when I call
Please advise whether I am able to display my Hungarian Skype Number when I call either US or Hungary. I did not find the link Skype promised in Skype Forest.
Hello,
Yes, calls to 800 numbers should be supported. Where are you getting the pop up window? At what point does this happen? When adding the 800 number in the portal? When making the call?
It should say "free" or $0 as the cost next to the phone number in the STG portal. Is this the case?

Cancelling online number but want call forwarding
Hi,
I have a Skype online number that is about to expire. I don't really need this number anymore, so I don't want to renew my subscription. However, I don't want someone calling the number I used to have and receving a "this number does not exist." Is there an option to forward the calls that are made to my Skype number to my cell phone/landline, even if I don't have the number anymore?
Thanks for your help!

The only way you can control what happens to calls to your Online Number would be to renew the number for another 3 or 12 months. You can't have it both ways - not paying to renew the number, and forwarding calls from it to another number. It would be just like trying to do the same thing with a landline or mobile number - those carriers are certainly not going to forward calls to you for free. Skype is no different.

Someone called my cell from my skype number
At 6 am today, I received a call from my Skype number on my cell phone. My Skype number showed under caller ID. I did not make the call as I was sleeping and was very surprised to see my Skype number on the caller ID. The only way I can figure this could happen is someone has my Skype Login and they know it belongs to me since they also had my cell phone to call. I didn't answer the phone at 6 and probably should have.
Does anyone have any idea how someone made this call? Has my account been hacked?Just checked my skype account and it appears it was a forwarded call. I'm assuming someone/something called my skype-in number.
If I look at my usage, and then select "Show" "Call forwarded" I see a call yesterday referenced as "This call was forwarded from unknown"
Still strange that on my cell it shows up as my skype alias. -
Calling my skype number: sounds like modem, fax
When I got my US subscription and skype number, I tried calling it from another phone (att cell phone, and tried my work land line) to test it out and skype doesn't ring... It is just a weird modem, fax sound coming from the headset of the other phones. I do not even get a voicemail message from my skype number after the strange 'rings.'
I am using skype on my ipad mini. It is the latest app, too. I have tried calling when The ipad is connected to 4g and from my home wifi. I cannot receive any calls, ipad app does not ring.
