Dropped calls using Skype.

Hello everybody,
I've got a Linksys WRT54G router updated with the latest firmware (4.30.5 and now shows as model WRT54GL for some reason). I have no disconnections from using wireless broadband ordinarily but do have disconnections using VOIP services such as Skype and Babble. After a few minutes into the call, Skype reports the call as dropped and in the taskbar appears an icon with a red cross through the wireless connection icon (I am using Windows XP Home SP2).
I have no problems using Skype through a wired connection. Initially I thought the problem was related to Skype alone, but it also happens with other VOIP services such as Babble. I have reset the router as described in these forums and set all the options to factory default settings. I have also tried different Wireless Channels to ensure it was not interference. The security I have set up is WPA Personal with TKIP (not default).
Anyone have any suggestions why this may be?
Thanks very much.
Niraj.

Hi ..
As the calls are dropping on the wireless connection try changing some of the wireless setting of the router. . Login to the router configuration page by typing http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your internet explorer. Leave the username field blank and in the password type “admin” (If you have not changed the router password). When the configuration page is fully loaded click on the tab that says wireless. Click on the sub-tab that says Advanced wireless settings. Set the value of Beacon Interval =50, Fragmentation Threshold = 2306 and RTS Threshold = 2307. Save settings.

Harassment phone calls using Skype function (i.e. ...

Note: I have sent an e-mail to the Support Team. Pending reply.
Based on call history, my home and mobile numbers have been bombarded by phone calls (using Skype) from Skype user, who resides in another country.
For example
Time: 02:20 till 22:33
30-Aug-2012, home number received 15 calls and mobile number received 27.
Time: 00:00 till 22:20
31-Aug-2012, home number received 44 calls and mobile number received 90.
Time: 11:46 till 23:54
01-Sep-2012, home number received 04 calls and mobile number received 33.
Note: The harassment calls started since Oct-2010. I had discovered these harassment calls were made by this Skype user. I am able to provide call history made by this Skype user from Mar-2012 till Sep-2012.
This is a serious violation of the Skype's Terms of Service. Please investigate and take appropriate actions against this issue. Your quick response is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have a similar problem. I recently reinstated Skype on my iPad. I am able to sign in, to check my profile page and to check on my credit (I have about $30 US on it). But, I am unable to bring up a dial pad, nor a phone logo. I should add, I do have another copy of Skype on my iPad, under a different spelling of my name, that works perfectly well. I want to be able to contact to Skype using the re-instated account (which I had created earlier in error) so as to use up the existing credit, as I've learned that I can't combine the two accounts. What can I do? Can anything be done?

Urgent : Mystery Calls using Skype

Hi,
As i would like to use Skype to make mystery calls to test competence of my call centre support, I have a few questions:
Example:
I call using Skype from Singapore to China Call Centre, what is the phone number that will appear at the receiver's phone?
Is this number the same for every call, no matter to which country?
Or no number will appear?
This is very important as I am using it for mystery calls.
Thank you in anticipation.
Rgds,
KTY

You need to set the callerID on the Skype accounting page, so that the specific Skype online number is able to show on the caller's phone.

Cannot dial call using Skype from Address Book in Lion

I used to be able to place a call using Skype by clicking and holding a telephone number in Address Book and releasing it on the option " Call with Skype".
Now, although the options still appears, it does not work.
Can anyone help?
There used to be an issue with 32 bit in Snow Leopard, and you could work around by compelling Addrees Book to open in 32 bit, but this seems to work no longer.

I've fpund the same problem. Running OS 10.6.8 and Skype 5.3.60.1093

Fixed my own problem, IT was my Host file under Windows>System32>drivers>ectThe file was made in such a way that I did not relize I chound't edit it with Notepad without permissions. Also I don't remember adding anything to it, oh well. Long story short, if any of you internet searches want my advice on what to do. Copy the entries in your host file maded by programs "Example: Uncheacky and SpyBot (It will be listed which ones are made by who)." Copy wanted entries to a regular text file on your desktop. Delete your real host file in the director above, deal with readding your wanted entries latter and enjoy talking to your friends again.

Why can I not make video calls using Skype?

I'm really baffled. I have a month old MacBook Air. I use Skype daily for work and personal business. Never had a problem until this evening. I went to make a video call and Skype was not linked with the camera - there was no option to make a video call and when I went into Preferences, it said I had no camera. I then used FaceTime - person I was calling also had FaceTime, so it wasn't an issue - but I've now spent an hour trying to solved the problem, including logging in and out of Skype, closing the app and reinstalling, all to no avail. The camera functions fine with FT and other apps - why will it not sync up with Skype after it's worked fine? Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance.

See this thread:

FIX:
1. You need Time Machine
2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.

Can iphone 4 make video calls using skype over 3g?

Hello,can i make video calls on iphone 4 using skype over 3g network?

Yes, Skype can make video calls over 3G. You do NOT need to jailbreak your phone. I believe the previous poster thought you were asking about FaceTime which does not work over 3G.

How do I make a call using Skype ver 6.22.60.107?

I've used Skype for years, but this update that I just got a few minutes ago has me stumped. How do I make phone calls with this thing? The option to make calls is greyed out. I can call my contacts, but I don't see a way to dial numbers.
Note: I'm using the latest version of Skype for Windows on my Windows 7 Pro desktop computer.
Edit: I figured it out. I couldn't see the cursor, because the text box is the same color as the banner around it.

I cannot make phone calls using Skype

Hello,
I have a subscription to call numbers in Argentina. I've been using that plan for a long time. I need to call a number that I called many times in the past but my Skype account is not working. Please help me. I need to call this number today. I checked my account and my subscription is active. It says that I have 400 minutes left. Thank you

Hi,
If you purchase the same subscription again it will only extend it, it doesn't add more minutes to your account.
If you have Ghana 120minutes then no matter how many times you purchase it within 30 days you still have only 120minutes during this 30 days.
Your minutes will be reset:
Ghana 120 min Sept 5, 2011
Ghana 60 min Sept 22, 2011

Please help, Unable to make a call using Skype

On 10/19/12 I reactivated our Skype credit of $9.69 and received an email confirming that the credit was reactivated. However, whenever we log on to Skype the Profile Completeness bar gets stuck at 50% and the Make A Call button is never displayed, even though our current credit is correctly displayed as $9.69.

I have the same problem ..... This skype, without customer service truly is not worth
the trouble. I wish they would dispense with all the options and hire a few humans to
perform customer service. I have credit, changed my password and still just get propaganda
of new services when I try to make a basic call.........Lovely huh!!
