Dropping merged calls - Online Number

I often do calls where I patch in 3 or so people on my cell. One of those people uses a Skype Online Number. I will start calling people and merging the calls on my IPhone (as if I'm merging normally with other mobile lines and landlines). At some point, I will call the Skype Online number, which initially picks up just fine. Then, the Online Number will either not merge or drops shortly after merging.
The problem could be the fact that I don't have Skype Credit, but I believe I don't need it if I'm dialing the Online Number as in incoming call.
Any ideas?

Interesting.  I found on another thread (click here!) that with the ConnectMe, firmware version 1.0.6.3 supports inbound caller-id.  So I checked and my devices says:
"Current firmware version 1.0.1, last updated on 08-12-2011. From time to time the firmware of your device may be upgraded."
I guess I will have to wait and see when the device does a firmware upgrade to see if the caller-id feature starts working on in-bound calls.

  • Trying to call online number on skype set up mobil...

    I already have skype set up on my three network mobile. If I try to call skype online number from other phone, is it coming to the skype that already set up on the three network mobile or my computer?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. In Skype Manager the online number was deactivated 10 days ago at its year end. I added lots of credit today and allocated 100euros to the account that holds the de-activated number - but it still asks for more credit (it costs 50euros to reactivate for a year).
    Question - How do I get Skype Manager to recognise that there is enough credit allocated in the account to reactivate the number?

  • Calling Online number with Mac and iPhone running ...

    I'm running V5.3.0.1093 on OSx Lion, I have the latest version running on my iPhone4, when I call my online number from a landline both the Mac and iPhone ring, if I answer the call on my Mac the iPhone continues to ring until the end of the call.
    This only happens when the Skype app is running in the background on the iPhone, I also get a missed called notification on the iPhone. The is very annoying as I can't mute the ring or adjust the volume, the mute button and volume control on the phone is rendered useless!!
    Thanks.

    My response might not make you very happy but it is what it is, firstly the call forwarding works by your skype phone calling you and directing the call. Meaning you are getting a call from skype not the original phone meaning you cannot get caller ID. Second Your skype VM only works when the call is unanswered and if your mobiles VM answers it is not unanswered. It is approximately the same effect though except mobile VM costs money and skypes does not.

  • ATT Mobile Network cannot call Online number

    Hi,
    We are seeing call completion issues when callers on ATT's wireless network attempt to call our Online Numbers.  The symptom we see:  caller will hear one or two ringtones, then the caller hears "we're sorry this call cannot be completed as dialed please check the number and dial again."
    Calls from other networks complete just fine.  We have tried this with several ATT wireless numbers with the same result.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    What happens when you call the number? Usually this is a network problem with the network of the number you are calling.

  • Online Number isn't showing up on people's caller ...

    Is there any way to fix this?  My online number works because I recently paid for it and it expires May 20.  
    I know the number works because when I call myself, it rings but displays the "unkown number" problem.
    Let me know if there's a way to solve this please.

    Update on this issue. I had another support chat:
    ... (me)
    Hi, My Online Number Caller ID shows up when the call is received on a mobile phone, but not on a BT landline (in the UK). My Online Number area code is Cambridge (01223) - is it possible Caller ID would work with BT if the Online Number area code was a different area, like London (020)?
    ... (support)
    If caller ID isn’t displaying, it’s possible caller ID isn’t supported by the local telecommunication provider for the country you are calling. Caller ID is passed along with a call, from Skype through the local telephone companies, up to the mobile or landline number you dialled. If one of the links in the chain does not support caller ID properly, a default number or no number at all will be displayed instead. In most countries, caller ID is supported by the local providers and the number should display as normal. However, there are a few countries where caller ID can be less reliable or it does not work at all.
    ... (support)
    Thank you for waiting. Upon checking this. We the Online Number is currently not supported in BT landlines. We are currently working with the providers so that we can provide our services to most of our clients across the globe. We understand the inconveniece this have cause and we apologize for this. We thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to make Skype even better. 
    ... (me)
    Thanks. When will Caller ID work with BT landlines?
    ... (support)I cannot guarantee a specific time, but we're working on it. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
    ... (me)
    Please escalate this issue. In the UK, BT has 15.8 million landline customers. Sype Online Number in the UK is useless for business until Caller ID works.
    ... (support)
    Will do.
    ... (me)
    Thanks. Can I copy some of this information to the forum for others to read?
    ... (support)
    Yes you can.

  • Online number is not showing up in caller id

    I live in the U.S. and my online number is not showing up when I call someone.  Is there a way to fix this

    I am constantly having problems with clients not seeing my phone number when I call. Why is this happening? Your answer here was very short and not very specific as to how to resolve this. I have been fighting this for more than 2 months now but I keep paying for a number that people can't see when I call them.
    I'm sorry I did not give an answer that met your level of specificity.  The original poster did not post the number he/she was trying to call.  This is also a worldwide forum mostly inhabited by Skype users along with some Skype employees who post from time to time.  I'm not a Skype employee, just a user who makes use of many features of Skype to avoid paying more $$$ to the telephone companies. 
    When Skype users have Online Numbers, these numbers are not automatically used as Caller ID when calling telephones from a Skype account.  This way, the Skype users hold the control over whether or not to have a working phone number show up as Caller ID. Most who have Online Numbers want them used as Caller ID, but the users - and not Skype - get that level of control.  In my opinion, that's a good thing.
    The surest way to see the current Caller ID settings for your Skype account and change them is to log into your account on the Skype web site (use the "account" link on the upper-right corner of the Skype web site).  When you log in, you will see the current settings, and the link to make changes.  If you have Online Numbers that can be used for Caller ID, you can select them.  Online Numbers in the USA and the UK are examples of the numbers that can be used as Caller ID from Skype, and numbers from Mexico and Australia can't be used as Caller ID.  You also have options to use different numbers as Caller ID for calls to telephones in those countries, and have a "default" number used for Caller ID anywhere else.  In my case, my default number for Caller ID is my US Online Number, and my UK Online Number is used as Caller ID for calls to the UK. 
    Even with these settings properly configured, there are still occasions where your number (an Online Number, or a mobile number which has gone through the verification process with two SMS messages) will not appear on the Caller ID displays of the phones you call.  This is generally outside the control of Skype.  If you are using a number that is not a "local" number in the country that you are calling, it too may not show up on the Caller ID display.  Instead of posting on the community forums, using the Support link at the top of this page may be the better way to go.  You can go through the knowledge base trying to find a solution, and end up opening a support ticket with Skype.  If you have a subscription, you may be able to go to a live chat with Skype support.

  • 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?

    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.

  • RTX 4088 not ringing when called using online numb...

    I have read a lot of posts some with solutions( that don't work) and others stating that this is a known skype issue.
    Firstly i have just bought my second cordless phone, RTX 4088, nice phone but wont ring when anyone rings me on my online number. This is hit and miss, works some days others not. Actually doesn't work most of the time.
    I had a long chat with skype support and did as a another post suggested deleted an xml file, changed some settings and sat about for 5 minutes, this didn't work.
    I did get it to work by doing a full reset on the phone, this fixed it temporarily. 15minutes later.
    RTX support is useless, they said contact skype and skype said contact them....
    I am pissed at skype over this, no public notice that this is a bug and no real solution. Online numbers are pointless if your phone wont ring when someone calls. You may as well buy a €6 corded phone and leave your computer on because thats the only calls i can receive. Dont spend th €90 euro for a fancy phone that just answers skype to skype calls.
    Skype please fix this bug and stop giving us the run around.....

  • 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.

  • Make a call with an Online number?

    Can you make a call if you have an online number or can you only recieve calls with an online number?  What I mean by this is that can you make a domestic call without paying any additional money if you already have an online number.

    With an online number, you only can receive calls from the country you chose.

    The below means called the online number from inside uk from +4413000000???
    This call was forwarded from  +4413000000

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer Online Numbers between accounts. You can, however, set up call forwarding from one account to another to be able to receive calls when being logged into either one. Please see http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/call-forwarding/

  • See which online number is being called ?

    I have 2 online numbers setup on my Skype account. When a call comes in - is it possible to see which Skype Online Number they dialled ?
    Thanks

    Someone may be along to correct me, but my belief is that, for RETAIL subscriptions (the regular kind), you can only have one subscription that counts, and it can only be used on TWO computers by ONE person. If you want multiple people to use it, they each need an Adobe ID and subscription. If one person wants to use it on three computers they need two Adobe IDs.  For enterprises, volume licenses work differently.
