Forwarded call to cell phone is not displayed with...

Question

I have a subscription allowing me to let calls to my skype online-number be forwarded to my cell phone. Now, if someone calls my skype number and is forwarded to my cell phone, my cell phone only shows "unknown". This is also the case, if the person calling me and being forwarded has activated his phone to show its number. So it has to be a setting inside the skype-program. How can I change this setting to let the number calling me being displayed on my cell phone?
Thank you, I appreciate your help very much.

It is possible that the telephone network is not passing the Caller ID information along.  This is the case in certain countries, even if the caller has enabled Caller ID and you have set a number in your Skype account to be used as Caller ID.  Have you done that yet?  Log into your account here on the Skype web site using the "Account" link at the top of this page to see your Skype account's Caller ID settings. 
If you have Caller ID set up on your Skype account, sometimes you will see your own Caller ID number when calls are forwarded from Skype.  Other times, it may be "unknown" or a series of digits.  Unfortunately, Skype does not have control over all of this, since Skype works with partners in many countries to provide services using the telephone network (making calls to or receiving calls from telephones, forwarding calls from Skype to a telephone number, Caller ID, etc.).
