Forwarding an Online Number (again)

I've searched the forums for this, but no luck so far.
I'm trying to test call forwarding of my online number. If Skype is running on my Mac and someone calls the online number, it will ring on my computer as it should. I also know that call forwarding to my cell phone is working because if I'm not at my computer and Skype is not running, my cell phone will ring if someone Skypes me. But if Skype is not running on the computer and someone calls my online number, my cell phone will not ring, and I don't have any idea why.

I'm wanting to set up the same system. Then I can have a stable skype number, and when I traval I will just skype to forward to a forien sim card number.
How relyable is this system, and what is the call quality like?

Forwarding an Online Number to a mobile phone in s...

Hello,

I need to get a Skype Online Number to Japan. and I need to divert that call to Sri Lankan Mobile phone. I will pay for the charges which occurs in forwarding.
If you are a resident of Japan, you can get a Japanese Online Number from Skype. Once you have that, you can have calls to that number - or any call to your Skype account from other Skype users - forwarded to the Sri Lankan mobile phone. You will need to purchase Skype Credit to cover the cost of those calls out to the Sri Lankan number.
If a person from some other country call my Online Number in Japan, can i anser this call using skype.
Even if you have call-forwarding enabled, you can still answer calls when you are logged into Skype. Then you are not having to pay for the cost of calls forwarded to that Sri Lankan mobile number, for example.
Good luck!

Forwarding on online number

I have an online number from HK and want to forward my HK phone to Skype number, then from Skype number to a China mobile number. But it didn't work... not forwarding and not even to voice mail. What should I do ?
my online number is paid for 3 months subscription, does this subscription include forwarding service ?

I have checked the same, but the problem still exists.
OK, that complicates things a bit. If that Privacy setting is allowing calls from anywhere to your Online Number, let's make sure the Online Number is on your account. When you log into your account using the "Account" link at the top of this web page, then click on Online Number, do you see your Online Number?
If you don't see the number, there may be a bigger problem going on. If the number shows up there, that's a good thing - but still a problem. In either case, it sounds like this is something that needs to be looked at by Skype staff. You can contact customer service for that, as I am not a Skype employee and have no access to your account details.

Forwarding new online number

Hello,
Today, I purchased another online number. I already have 4 online numbers (different countries) forwarding to my mobile phone and it has worked well for years.
What I am trying to do is forward the new number to a different mobile number but cannot see how in my account options.
Is there a way?
Thank you
Elliot

Hi,
It is noted that you are in Singpore and wish to receive incoming calls at your Singapore cell phone.
It is not stated and I assume your friends and family would be in US.
Then, I think following plan.
Incoming calls from US:
You will purchase in US one "Skype to go" number and set it to foward incoming calls to your Singapore cell phone.
Callers (your friends and family) will make call to that Skype-To-Go number paying the domestic calling charges in US.
In order for you to settle the charges for call-forwarding from US to Singapore, you will buy another pay-by-month plan which will be Unlimited Sigapore.
You calls to US:
You will have a tool such as PC to run Skype software for making calls to US.
Subscription to Unlimited US will cover your calls.
Subscription:
Total costs for Unlimited US and Unlimited Singapore will be similar to Unlimited World. If you will make calls to other countries than US and Singapore, Unlimited World will be a choice.
I have Skype no which is a UK number and I am trying to forward to UK mobile no
have enabled call forwarding options but call are not being forwarded
what should I do

Call Forwarding with Online Number

Can I get skype online number and forward call to my phone in India?
As if someone calls skype online number his call can be answered at my India Mobile or Phone.
Is this possible?

I contacted Skype some months ago about this issue they said if you have a Subscription if it's covered under your subscription (for example calls to the US & Canada unlimited) and make a call on skype it will be covered.
I don't have the email or lost it somewhere as it's months old but basically that's what it says.

Is it possible to forward cell phone number to skype online number? If so, what do I need to do to set it up? Also, would my carrier (T-Mobile) charge me minutes for forwarded calls? Thanks.

Maybe. Your phone should have settings to set forwarding for all calls to your T-Mobile number. If you enable that, your T-Mobile phone won't ring anymore, but you could still use your phone to make calls and for sending/receiving SMS or MMS messages.
If you are asking about forwarding calls when the mobile phone is on but you don't answer the phone, instead of those calls going to a T-Mobile voicemail system, you *may* be able to change that. T-Mobile doesn't let you do that on a prepaid phone, and that appears to be the same if you use some other prepaid services that ride on T-Mobile's network like Straight Talk. It may be possible on a postpaid plan (one where you get a monthly invoice to pay).
As for what T-Mobile would charge, you'd have to check on your plan or contact T-Mobile. Some plans have unlimited calling that includes call-forwarding, others only provide for a certain number of minutes for call-forwarded calls a month, and then there are some "plans" that make you pay for anything that is call-forwarded from your T-Mobile number. The T-Mobile web site may be able to help answer that, or a call to their customer service number will need to be made.
Good luck!

Cancelling online number but want call forwarding

Hi,
I have a Skype online number that is about to expire. I don't really need this number anymore, so I don't want to renew my subscription. However, I don't want someone calling the number I used to have and receving a "this number does not exist." Is there an option to forward the calls that are made to my Skype number to my cell phone/landline, even if I don't have the number anymore?
Thanks for your help!
(The account I am writing this with is not the account that I have the online number for)

The only way you can control what happens to calls to your Online Number would be to renew the number for another 3 or 12 months. You can't have it both ways - not paying to renew the number, and forwarding calls from it to another number. It would be just like trying to do the same thing with a landline or mobile number - those carriers are certainly not going to forward calls to you for free. Skype is no different.

Skype Number, credit and forwarding when online

Hi all,
I have a few questions relating to the Skype Number, which I recently bought.
The main purpose for me using the Skype number is to receive business calls and have them forwarded to my mobile. I have a small business, and want to appear as if I had a landline number.
Here are my queries:
1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
Cheers,
Fabrizio

1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
- If you have set-up call forwarding in Skype, call forwarding status will be set when you're offline in Skype. Calls can also be forwarded when you're online if the call was not answered after a number of rings.
2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
- If you use Skype Credit as a payment method, the forwarded calls will be charged at the Skype’s great pay per minute rates. For example, if you forward your incoming Skype calls to a mobile number in the United States, you’ll be charged exactly what it costs to call a mobile in the United States from Skype.
3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
- You can also purchase a subscription for calls to a country where you want to receive the forwarded calls. For example, if you want your incoming Skype calls to be forwarded to a number in the United States, simply choose a subscription covering calls to the United States.
No matter which payment method you prefer, the person who’s calling you on Skype will still call you for free.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Using U.S. Skype online number and forwarding to F...

Hello, I am a U.S. citizen but will be living in France for four months. I need to be able to effectively be in touch with business and family back in the U.S.
What I'm planning on doing is purchasing a prepaid SIM from Orange or another French carrier. Incoming calls from French numbers are free, so I was wondering if Skype would be able to fill in the gaps. If I were to get a U.S. Skype online number, is there a way where I could forward the calls directly to my French prepaid number?
Thank you in advance. I apologize if this has already been repeatedly answered. I used to be on top of all of Skype's offerings, but since the Microsoft takeover, I'm confused.

forwarding your US Skype Number to a French mobile number will require you to have adequate Skype Credit (or possibly a subscription) to cover the cost of the forwarded calls
you can forward your US Skype Number to a French mobile number in your account settings at www.skype.com
Regards,
Neil

Online number forwarding

Seems this has been all over the forums, but I still cannot get an answer.
I want a US online number, that, when called, forwards ALWAYS to my cell phone in a different country.
I've bought an online number, set up call forwarding to that cell phone, whenever I'm offline, and it doesn't work. When I call the US number, I get "receiver busy" signal.
Also - can't I just link the US online number for good to direct calls to the cell?

hankiedo wrote:
When I'm online, it calls my skype client. When I'm offline, it gives receiver busy signal.
Also - any method for hardwiring online number to a cell phone not in US without having skype completely offline all the time? (i.e. dedicated account just for the number?)
First check your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in. Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone". Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Call forwarding is not free, so, is the call to the cell phone currently covered by a call plan or Skype credit?

Differences between Online Number and Call Forward...

I have an unlimited subscription for the United States. For others to call me though I am not sure what the best option is. Could someone please clarify the differeces between having an Online number and having calls forwarded?

Hello,
An Online # is for your contacts to call you. (You can't make calls from it).
Call forwarding is simply forwarding a received call to another phone of your choice.
To receive calls from your contacts you will need an Online #.

Online number does not forward or go to voicemail

I have an online number which is forwarded to an Australian Mobile. It also set up to go to voicemail if not answered. Neither of these functions work as it just rings out when dialed. Where is it ringing? How do I get the features to work? Why am I paying for something that does not work? Will I get a refund for time elapsed to date?

Do you happen to have Airplane mode enabled?

With Online Numbers, receiving calls on them using Skype is free. You would only have to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription if you used Call Forwarding to divert calls to a telephone number.
If you purchase a UK Online Number, calls from them to your Online Number would be billed the same way as calling a non-Skype landline number in the same area. It may be a local call, or - at most - a domestic long-distance call in the UK. This sounds like the better way to go, as those UK contacts would have to pay for an international call if you had a Mexican Online Number for them to ring you on. Again, it would cost you nothing to receive the call in Skype, but callers would pay whatever their telephone carrier charges to make a call to that location.
Now if you had people in Mexico who also needed to reach you via telephone, you could purchase a UK and a Mexican Online Number. You can have up to 10 Online Numbers on a single Skype account. I have numbers in these two countries, along with the USA and Australia. Then people in those countries are either making a local call (possibly a free local call) or no worse than a domestic long-distance call to reach me. Or they can use Skype, and it would be a free call on both ends.

It is possible that the Caller ID settings got wiped out when you extended your Online Number. This is, unfortunately, something other users have reported. I'm sorry it happened to you.
To reset your Caller ID settings, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site. Use the "Account" link at the top of this page, and enter your Skype name and password. Then you can access your Caller ID settings, and select your Online Number to - once again - be your Caller ID.
