Do I need to buy an online number if I purchase Fr...

I am looking to buy the Freetalk Connect Me adaptar for my phone so I can call people I know on an ordinary phone. If I buy the hardware that comes with the year subscription for unlimited calls to US/Canada, do I also have to buy an online number to use it?

Online Number enables you to receive calls from phones: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA331/What-is-an-Online-Number
If you are not expecting to receive any calls from landline or mobile phones to your Skype account then you don't have to buy it

When I buy a MacBook with Student discount, can I buy it in a physical Apple Store or do I need to buy it online?

Is there any way to buy a MacBook with this Students Discount and pick it up at a physical store? Because I don't have an address until now.
Thanks !

Do you know if I can do that just with the Reception Letter from the university, in my name?
I'm arriving some days before classes and if I can, I'll buy a MacBook just when I get there!

Do I need to buy Mac OS X Lion before purchasing Mac OS X Mountain Lion?

Do I need OS X Lion before purchasing OS X Mountain Lion for Version 10.6.8?

I imagine pretty much the same. It is possible some feature may be present in Lion that Mountain Lion will abandon, but I can't be specific. If know, for example that I still have Quicktime Player from OS 8 because it still works (in Classic) for movie editing and after OS8 Apple decided to charge for its editing features (playback was free). Some people have also mentioned retaining Snow Leopard versions of some applications because Lion changed the menus (and apparently is changing parts of it back again). I don't know if that's enough to merit buying Lion separately, but it's an observation.

Can i buy applecare online for an already purchase iPhone5?

Yesterday I just got an iPhone 5 at my mobile carrier but they did not offer applecare and told me I could go online and purchase it, but I don't see the option to. Please help!

You... AppleCare is no longer offered. It was replaced with AppleCare+ which requires purchase at the time of the device purchase or within 30 days but requires physical inspection of the device by an Apple employee.

Do I need an online number to get a call from some...

Hello,
Do I need an online number to get a call from someone in Europe who is calling from their computer?

Hey the question is what you want to do Sir.
Skype bare and free provides you means to talk voice and video from the application with all your friends who have Skype too on their side. Though you need to connect with them first. Add them manually or through some importing to your contact. There you have the basic capability.
Then you can add with credit or subscription (I personally think that the subscriptions now with 50% off yearly are absolutely great) a few services.
1. Outgoing voice calls to real numbers. They have plans for landlines and mobile with diff prices for diff countries. Again check the promos now for good deals.
2. Incoming voice calls from real numbers when you buy the online number. Alas its not available for all countries yet.
3. You can set your ID so when you call / outgoing voice, people can recognize you.
4. To go number that can let you call long distance and abroad as local call.
And more I guess.
I find their outgoing call quality as unparalleled to any other provider. Call quality from Canada to Israel is usually on par as land line and superior to Bell.

Do I need an online number?

Help I'm new to Skype, paid my subscription but can't seem to connect with anyone or anything. Do I HAVE to have a online number? I have tried to send messages but it won't work. Really getting peed off now,

Online number without wifi or 3g

Hi,
I want to buy an online number and I was wondering if I will be able to receive calls trhough my online number without wifi or 3g service and just having the local operator signal (Verizon or AT&T).

If you are asking if you can receive calls to your Skype Online Number through your mobile phone's number, you can do that. You would have to configure call forwarding on your Skype account, to forward unanswered calls to your mobile phone's number. You would also need to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription to cover the cost of the calls forwarded to your mobile number.
Since you mentioned Verizon and AT&T, I assume you are in the USA. If so, you have a couple of options. If you pay with Skype Credit, forwarded calls out to your mobile number are just like making calls to telephones from your Skype account - 2.3 US cents/minute, plus a connection fee per call. Or you can purchase the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month, or with a 15% discount if purchased on a yearly basis (just over US$ 30/year). Then you would have the option to answer calls on your Skype account directly, or have those calls go out to your mobile number whenever you're not logged into Skype.
Hope that helps!

Re: Online Number?

I am trying to decide which country to choose for my skype number. If I choose a UK Skype number will friends and family in Republic of Ireland still be able to call me for a local charge and vice versa?

Hi, Klaus15838,
Please allow me to clarify one important detail:
I thought if I buy an online number then I haven't to pay any extra cost (exept the phone number of course).
Your understanding is the reverse of how it works: a Skype Number (formerly known as an Online Number) is intended and works only for people to call you. In other words, a Skype Number is a fixed line number that people can use to reach you, and which you answer, on Skype.
To pay the outbound call charges from Thailand to Germany, you would need to add a subscription or credit to your account (your letter reads as if you have been using credit).
Make sense?

Elaine

Discount for online number available?

Hello,
I am thinking about purchasing a Skype online number for my UK business.
At the moment, it says on Skypes website that there is a 50% discount for existing subscribers. I think this does not apply to me because this would be my first online number.
But I remember that there was some offer a while ago where you were able to receive credit towards your other subscriptions when buying an online number.
Can anybody please help and tell me what is the best and cheapest way to get the online number or if there are any promotions or discounts currently available , hidden on Skype's website??
I apprciate your help!
Marko

Purchase of online number with Skype Credit

I purchased $30, but I of Skype credit and went to purchase an online number with it, but I keep getting the same message to sign in to my account to purchase. I am signed in, it says hello to me. So the next thing I tried was to sign out of Skype completely and Quit it on the desk top, then sign in again. nope same message. I selected a special number for this and now it is expiring because I can't make skype take skype credit! What so I do, time is short. With the plan I purchased I was suppose to have live chat with skype to troubleshoot the problem, but I don't have access to that either!
Kat

So here it is on the Skype website?
Call phones and mobiles
Call phones and landlines, anywhere in the world, from just 18.3 cents per minute (21 cents inc.) With Skype Credit or even cheaper with a subscription.
Question: if I buy an online number and a 3 month subscription, what does it cost to call per minute (in Sweden only) or do I call for this (Fair Usage Policy), see below.
Fair Usage Policy?
Calls to phones and mobiles and Skype To Go *- call your subscription and is subject to fair usage limit of 10,000 minutes per user and maximum of 6 hours per day.

Who can phone my online number?

I live in the South Island, New Zealand. The closest major city in the South Island is Christchurch and I can buy an online number starting with prefix 03. Can people from other regions of my country call me on my online number, for example from Auckland or Queenstown?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I live in North Carolina, USA. My online number functions like a regular phone number. Anyone in the world can call (using the US country code as the initial prefix of course).
I have even set up call forwarding on my online number to ring directly to my cell phone.
I would imagine it works that same way where you are.
Hope this helps!

Transfer from all countries online number ($18/3 m...

Hi,
Please guide me how to transfer from 'ALL countries online to US /Canada online number' - as it was an error and I don't have to pay $18 where the transaction is still pending - please help me to transfer to US online and to refund the balance or anyother confirmation - thank you!
BB.

1) I needed an 'online' number to call other skypes accounts ( on their mobiles, on their computer skypes etc.,) - and also I saw the Discount you offer "US & Canada" unlimited $2.99 / month.
My kind request ( I will not be traveling outside USA) : Please allow me to have online number at a discounted rate per month ( $2.99 / month instead of $18 for 3 months).
Two problems here....
1. The Online Numbers only work to *receive* calls from telephones on your Skype account. They do nothing for calling phones.
2. There is no discount for an Online Number as you describe. They are either US$ 18/3 months, US$ 60/year, or US$ 30/year if you already have a subscription to call telephones.
If you want to receive calls from telephones and make calls to telephones in the USA, you would need two items - an Online Number in the US at the prices I listed above, and some way to pay for the calls you make from Skype to telephones in the US (Skype Credit, or the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month). You must have both, in order to be able to make calls to telephones as well as receive calls from telephones.
If Skype users you are calling run the Skype app on their smart phones or other devices, you would just call them on their Skype account name. This would be a free call, not requiring an Online Number or a subscription (or Skype Credit on your account). You need the subscription (or Skype Credit) only if you are calling those people at their mobile phone numbers, and only need the Online Number if you want them to be able to call you from a telephone and not from Skype.
2) transaction date is shown for my order number "626216569" says 6/19/2012 - 02:43 GMT.
My question: when this will be effective for me to call my relatives and friends who have skype ( I don't have skype so I'm getting a skype 'online' US only number ).
I hope this helps you to understand my issues - I thought my 'online' number will be ready by this evening , as I did my transaction yesterday ( but it is giving a wrong transaction date too).
I'm really confused how long to wait to get this 'online' number... and I'm very very excited about this 'online' number that I'm getting , but I don't know when I'm going to get it.
Again, you don't need to purchase anything if the people you are calling are also on Skype. Call them using their Skype name, and it is a free call.
As for what you purchased, you may want to click on the "Support" link above and file a request with Skype Support about that. I'm not a Skype employee, so I can't look into the status of your recent purchase.
