Does: home phone adapter + online number = ability...

i have not found any information that says specifically that non-skype callers can call you via a home phone adapter or a Skype-ready cordless phone. I know you can call out, but what about receiving calls? Anyone here have a skype-ready cordless phone?

I'm also considering buying phone adapter. And to get a phone # attached to it to be able to receive any regular call on the phone (not on the computer) - do I just get an online number - is there any other option?
I did not find any related info in FAQs, etc.

The FREETALK Connect•Me Home Phone Adapter for Sky...

Hi all,
I am seriously considering dropping my landline since I mostly if not only uses my iPhone as my primary device for calls. The problem I have is an alarm system is connected to my land line and requires a way to call the alarm centre in case of an emergency.
I talk to my alarm service provider for an alternative. They already have the cellular option, but it adds $12/m which is not a big saving... They are working on finding an IP/Internet solution, but it will be also a $4/m.
I was wondering if I could use the FREETALK Connect•Me Home Phone Adapter for Skype as a solution. From a computer I can call any 1-800 numbers for free, and I really suspect that the alarm centre is a toll free number too. So in theory it could work.
Can anyone share their experience with the device and suggest if my solution can work or not?
Thanks

I use that adapter in my house, it works just as a normal landline would. There is a slightly longer predial delay when initiating a call (approx 3 second Skype dialing noise), beyond that no real difference. If the box doesn't lock up, or your Internet doesn't go down it should be rather reliable as a replacement. Those are worst-case scenarios and I generally don't find myself having to do anything to maintain it. In any case I have it connected to a power surge strip like I do the rest of my equipment. Should I need to reset it, I just toggle the switch.

RTX Dual Phone and Online Number

I'm planning on getting RTX Dual Phone with an online number to replace my land line. The requirements specify Broadband Internet connection (I have DSL service and a router with open ports).
The requirements also state 'landline operator subscription'. What does this mean? My objective was to replace the landline?
The RTX dual phone package comes with 2 handsets. How many will it support and where do I buy extra handsets.
Can I set Skype on my computer to the same online number, so that it rings when my computer is on.
thx

Hi, If you buy a Skype phone and an online number anyone who calls it either from a landline, mobile or Skype ID, the phone will ring. If you are signed on on another device be it a computer or IPhone app all devices will ring. As long as the Skype phone is switched on and has Internet connection it will be online 24 x 7. If you need any more info please get in touch.

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!

Freetalk Office Phone & Skype Online Number

When reviewing the product description for the Freetalk Office Phone, it was unclear to me whether or not the phone will work with your Skype Online Number. For example, if someone calls my online number then will the Freetalk Office Phone ring?? Also if I call someone from the Freetalk Office Phone then will they see my Skype Online Number on the caller ID?
Thanks!

How Online Number Displays on Mobiles

I've recently started using an online number with some relative success. However I'm getting mixed results on how it displays.
In 3 seperate tests (to the same mobile phone!) it's just appeared as +44 161... 044161... and just 0161... which is exactly how I'd like it to display.
Any idea on where there's a difference and if they're is any way to fix it down to one style?

I bought two online numbers using one account. How can I setup one of them to another account?
Currently, you can't. Because if you were to for example call forward one the other one would call forward as well. All Online Numbers Share the same voicemail as well.
That said, it is possible using the public API to do this using a 3rd party program, but the Skype clients cannot do this on their own.
I personally don't know of anything that does this automatically by Online Number.

US online number with the ability to make outbound...

Hello everybody,
I currently live in Egypt and my new job requires that I have an online USA phone number with the ability to make outbound calls. Now after going through the site, I understand that online numbers has you recieve calls wherever you are, but does it always have you make calls to the US or what? And are those calls covered with the subscripition or is it a seperate bill?
Help seriously needed ASAP, thanks a million!

You are correct, the ability to receive calls from telephones (the Online Number) is separate from the ability to make calls to telephones (the subscriptions). Having one does not give you the other. When logged into Skype from almost anywhere, you would be able to receive calls made to your Online Number, and - with the subscription, or by simply adding Skype Credit to your account - have the ability to call telephones from Skype.
For calling to the States, there is an Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month, or with a 15% discount if purchased for a year at a time (just over US$ 30/year). This subscription, along with a US online number, effectively gives you a US "telephone" that you can use from Egypt or anywhere else. Please keep in mind Skype's fair-use policy regarding subscriptions. Click on "Subscriptions" below for more details.
Good luck!

My Online number does not ring

I keep getting told by people that they are ringing my number and it just rings out.
I dont get a notification on my pc or a missed call logged.
This does not happen all the time, but frankly once is more than enough.
I would like to contact Skype directly about this, but can't see how - has anyone else had this problem?
Is there something I can do/check to see if its my end?
Thx for your time.
Steve

I have had a Skype online telephone number for over two years. However, within the last two months, I have been having a similar problem as SteveCl, as when someone calls my Skype telephone number my Skype does not ring intermittently.
In addition, I use Google Voice, which allows someone to call my Google Voice telephone number, which will then automatically ring all of the telephones that I have associated with this service. For example, if someone calls my Google Voice number, my landline, cell phone, MagicJack, and Skype telephone lines (should) ring. My landline, cell phone, and MagicJack all ring consistently when someone calls my Google Voice telephone number. However, Skype rings intermittently, at least in the last two months.
Until recently, my Skype online number rang consistently when someone called it. This problem has only manifested itself within the last two months. Making the problem even more puzzling is that sometimes my Skype online number will ring through while other times it will not. For example, on March 24, 2012, it worked; however, on March 25, it does not work. Sometimes Skype will not ring through at 3 p.m. but will ring through at 3:30 p.m.; as I said, this is very intermittent. I have the most recent version of the Skype software installed. Skype is configured to allow calls to my Skype number from anyone. I have not changed this setting.
I can use Skype to call out to telephone numbers or other Skype users without a problem. In addition, I have not noticed any problems when Skype users call me; Skype on my ends rings through in this case. Skype-to-telephone and Skype-to-Skype calls are usually good quality, so my Internet connection should not be influencing this issue.
I would also like to contact Skype directly about this issue. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

Online number does not appear as caller ID for out...

I have a Skype Premium account and an Online Number based in Stockholm, Sweden.
I have verified the Caller ID for my account is set for the Online Number starting with +468.
When I call my mobile phone (Swedish mobile operator), the ID appears as "Unknown".
When I call the Online Number from my mobile phone, the calling number is shown correctly.
What could be wrong?

I have an online number for my skype account. When I call others from skype, the online number does not appear on the receiving party's phone, instead the receiving party would see 0000123456
Note that I can receive landland originated calls to the skype account's online number.
Log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site, using the "Account" link at the top of this page. Once you log in, you will see Caller ID settings. If your number is from one of the countries whose numbers can be used as Caller ID (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), you should be able to select it and save that for your Caller ID setting. If your number is from some other country, it can't be used as Caller ID when calling phones from Skype - and you would need to use a mobile number (except those from Japan or Mexico) that has gone through the two-step SMS verification process from Skype.

Phones calling my online number

i have recently set up an online number which works fine. I have all of my contacts from my iPhone on my Skype contacts as it transfered them accross when I downloaded the new Skype.
But when I call on my mobile for example, sometimes it displays 07, sometimes +7 and sometimes +447 and even +07. It will not regonise any of my numbers in my contact list.
I am calling from the UK to a UK online number BTW.
Has anyone had any issues with this? If I add a client to my Skype and they ring me, I want to be able to know who it is before I pick it up, like a normal mobile phone does.
Please help me out,
Thanks in advanced.

Regarding autofill, I deliberately have only my home phone in my contact info, yet autofill always puts my cell number in telephone space. How do I change this?

No home phone and no one can find my number

I came back from vacation only to find I had no phone service. i contacted Verizon's customer service who said I have no home phone with them. After further research i was told it was ported over to Cox but I didn't do it. They transferred me to tech support , who then transferred me to new account who said I needed customer service (again) that was experiencing waits of 10 mins (again). Finally hung up. Long story short, Verizon said it was ported over to Cox. Cox has no record. No one knows what happened to my number!
