Hiding My Friends Skype IDs in My Skype Account

Hello,
My account is used by couple of other people as well, I wanted to know is there any way that
i can hide the skype ids of my skype contacts so non of my employee can steel the ids of my coustomers

Unfortunately, there is none. I think what you can do is to select to show other contacts such as MSN or Facebook contacts, and just hope the other users don't know how to select to show your Skype contacts.

Calling my friends skype, but i get connected to h...

At least 3 times out of 10 I somehow connect to my friends DAD when calling my friends skype. I dont even have his dads skype as a contact of mine, so how do I keep getting connected to him? My friend is online, but if somehow I get connected to his dad he cant accept(even tho we discovered if his dad picks up, it rings endlessly for him till he declines the call he cant actually enter)
So what is going on? Are their accounts connected? SHould he just remake a new one for us to game with to avoid this issue?

How Do I Close My Skype Account?

Dear Readers,
This question is asked a lot here in the Community, particularly on this message board. Perhaps this topic added here will be helpful.   This FAQ article explains the process of how to remove your Skype account (the blue type is actually a "link" to the FAQ article): https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA142/how-do-i-close-my-skype-account
First, remember to cancel all active subscriptions. If you think you might be entitled to a refund, please see this FAQ to determine this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12147/when-can-i-get-a-refund?
Second, remove any saved payment methods from your account dashboard.
Third, remember to change the account status or presence setting to "offline." For your convenience, an abridged version of the FAQ article's text - specific only to removing a Skype account - is copied and pasted below:
How do I close my Skype account?
If you want to close your Skype account, you’ll need to contact us so we can close it for you.
First, make sure you’ve cancelled any subscriptions or recurring payments, and used up any Skype Credit you have. Everything associated with your Skype account – including contacts, purchases and history – will be lost when your account is closed.
Next, contact Skype Customer Service and tell us you’d like to close your account.
It might take up to 30 days for your name to disappear from the directory, but after that, no one will be able to find you in Skype. Your name will still appear in your friends’ contact lists unless they remove it, but they won’t be able to contact you.
In the meantime, you can remove your personal information from your profile to prevent people from finding you based on those details.
Remove your profile information
This will make it more difficult for people to find you in the Skype directory. You can remove or edit all of your details except for your Skype Name.
To remove your profile information:
Change your profile picture and mood message.
If you have a profile picture that identifies you, you might want to change it. In Skype, click Skype > Profile > Change Your Picture… (on a Mac, click your profile picture and then Change Picture) and browse for a different picture.
You can leave a status message saying you’re no longer active on Skype, or giving your new Skype Name if you’re using a different account. Go to Skype > Profile > Edit Your Profile… and then click Enter mood message. (On a Mac, click your name or profile picture and then click Add Mood Message.)
Sign out of Skype.
It’s a good idea to set your status to offline or invisible, and then sign out of Skype on all your devices. Type the chat command /remotelogout into the chat window to sign yourself out of Skype on any other devices you might be using, then sign out on the one you’re using now.
Go to your account.
Sign in to your account on skype.com
Can’t sign in? Find out what to do if you’ve forgotten your username or password.
Go to your profile.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and, under Settings and preferences, click Edit profile.
Edit your profile details.
In the Personal Information section, click Edit.
Remove your information from the Personal Information and Contact Details sections. Some fields are mandatory - replace the info in these with random characters, because you won’t be able to save it if the fields are empty. Click Save.
Please remember this is a one-time request which cannot be reversed.
One more point to keep in mind: removing your account from the Search Directory will not "pull," "remove," "delete," or "retract" instant messages or file transfers that you have previously sent to your contacts. Your account name will still appear on their contact lists, although they will no longer be able to contact you using the account name you have requested be removed.
The last step of the process is to file your request to remove your account with Skype Customer Service.   This final and required step in the process is often overlooked, and we here in the Community are not authorized to process service requests. Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of sporadic website issues. Temporarily enabling scripts, disabling browser add-ins that might disable pop-up dialog boxes, and temporarily enabling pop-up dialog boxes may help get you through to Skype Customer Service. If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser.
Look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
Best regards,
Elaine

Cannot login with my Skype Account name,

I have tried to login to Skype and the following error returns:
"Sorry, we didn't recognize you sign-in details. Please check etc. etc."
My account does exist as I have asked my friends if they can see it. Why has this happened? I have searched the Skype so-called knowledge base and cannot find an answer. Does Skype disable accounts if inactive for any period of time?
Any help is appreciated,
Solved!

Skype account restricted

I bought a skype unlimited call to India. I am using it for calling relatives, local call and my friends. Suddenly I got an email stating below:
Fair usage policy violation blocking
We have noticed some prohibited usage of your Skype subscription.
As a result, your subscription will be terminated within the next 24 hours, moreover, you will no longer be able to use or purchase any of Skype’s paid-for products.
The suspension of your access to Skype paid-for products is permanent and you will be unable to transfer any existing paid-for products to a new Skype account, or receive a refund. However, you will be able to continue to make Skype-to-Skype calls and send instant messages.
No explanation and nothing.
Is this fair to block my paid subscription without even a single warning? In the middle of my ongoing subscription?
Please note these points :
1)     This Skype id is maximum login on three devices – my two smartphones and a Pc.
2)     Mostly long calls are on selected approx 5 numbers which are of relatives,my wife.
3)     Mostly short call are to my big circle of friends and my wife also uses to call her relatives as this is our family account..cant we do it?
4)     Total no of calls I don’t know is how much but its our account and me , my wife our kids all like to use what we bought. But surely there are not millions of calls we do from this…..
This is so sad and irritating being a such long customer of skype iam facing this. Earlier we used to use the calling option from PC so the calls may be less in number last year but these year we started using skype on smart phones via wifi so our numbers increased….but is this wrong? We are using our smartphones J
Iam real wondering what should I do as I have left around 25 euros in my account and iam the person who was till date so impressed with skype that I have recommended it to all my friends , relatives’…I was a big fan but then this happened…
Please skype customer service team I couldn’t find how to contact you so please consider all the points I said above and before kicking me out let me know my fault..
Pleaseeeeeeeeeee….
My id – [Removed for privacy]

"Skype fair policy:
Using subscriptions for telemarketing or call centre operations;

Unusual calling patterns inconsistent with normal, individual subscription use, for example, regular calls of short duration or calls to multiple numbers in a short period of time.
I am wondering which clause I violated????

Hello,

Skype Account Blocked

I have signed up with Skype on 25th this month and added some credit as well. After about one min. conversation with a friend my skype account was blocked.
I have contacted support team with all my details and at the end they told me that they cannot remove my restriction anymore and they asked me to review the terms and condition from http://www.skype.com/en/legal/fair-usage/ and I can say that I did nothing wrong. Also, I got a balance of $9.31 blocked intro my Skype account.
What can I do?
Thank you

I have the exact situation happening to my account right now. I have submitted the verification form 5 times now and have received useless replies from five "customer service" reps who are probably in the Phillipines following a script.
I didn't use my Skype account for several months, so Microsoft assumed that when I logged in that "it was jeapordized".
They ask a ton of questions to verify if I am the account holder. The problem is I opened the account probably 8-9 years ago and I am supposed to remember what credit card I used when I opened the account???????? I am supposed to know the month and day I opened the account?????
Does anyone have a resolution to this problem. It is an incredible waste of time and extremely frustrating as this is the 5th time I have done this stupid process and keep getting the same useless boilerplate response. They don't repsond to any of my questions.
I have seen this lack of customer service from Microsoft in software, hardware issues, which is why I don't support MS products anymore. They don't care about the customer, they care about $.

Skype account blocked and they won't unblock it.

I had this really old skype account, I believe I created it when they released skype, but I had like 7 contacts or less, and used it like once a month, sometimes once a year, I don't know. But I used msn messenger a lot, and my account was really old aswell, and when they merged it with skype, I had to merge my accounts, so that's what I did. but at that time, it was so complicated, you had like two contact lists, on the same software you could send messages as a messenger account, or a skype account, to messenger or skype contacts, and it was really not user friendly, it was impossible to use, even tried to clean my list, deleting duplicated entries, people i never talked to, but still didn't do it, so once again, I abandoned skype and went to facebook. so last year I went away and wanted to do a video call to my girlfriend, so we installed skype. I didn't remember what account name I should use, or wich password was correct, and for some reason my account got blocked. i'm not even sure that i entered a wrong password, but it got blocked anyway. when i tried to retrieve it, said i had to contact support and cmon, to reset your password you have to contact support???? no thanks, decided not to use skype again, and made a video call with facebook. but as of this week, I wanted to make a video call from my android phone, and decided to give skype another go, people told me that it was a good video app, so why not. and there was i trying to retrieve my password, when i ran through this form to fill with a lot of irrelevant information: if i "used credit card to pay for a skype service or if i used paypal." how the hell should i remember a thing i did once in my life and many years ago? i don't know if i used credit card or paypal, how should i know wich credit card i used? ok, next field: "what email address you provided when you registered." ok, when i registered my first skype account, or my messenger email wich i merged later? because i don't know what email i was using back when they launched skype, ffs. so i put my messenger email and procceeded. next question, when did i create my skype account (year AND month). again, my old account, or the one i merged later? and how the hell should i freaking now the year or even the month i created it??? was like centuries ago, cmon!!?! next question, "provide five names that are in your contact list." heck, I had hundreds of people on my messenger, wich i often deleted and replaced, and barely 5 or 7 contacts on skype, wich i never used, and when they merged, i reorganized my list, so i had no idea wich list they were talking about, or who was on it. next question, "what is the total cost of a recent order that you have made." you're kidding, right? next, on what date did you place the recent order (dd/mm/yy)? ... next, "please provide two phone numbers that you have recently called or contacted using skype." god, i tried to order a pizza once, and i called my mother another time, but how am i supposed to remember wich pizza place, and if i called mother at home, work, cellphone 1, 2, or what? jesus. I answered the other questions properly, but apparently they 'don't have enough information to retrieve my account" thanks microsoft. I really wanted to use that account, since it's linked with my microsoft email, wich is also my xbox live account, and some other stuff, and I don't want to have 2 ms addresses, but ok, i really needed to make a video call, so i tried to create another account. I was on my pc trying to solve this problem, so I opened skype website and clicked create account. luckily (or is it?) there was an option to create account with facebook, so that's what I did. and when I went to my phone to login, bam, no option to log in with facebook, and when you create an account that way, you just don't have a name or password to log in on your mobile. good job ms! thanks for ruining my day, and good luck beating apple, google or facebook when you keep treating your costumers like **bleep**.

I've recently noticed that my skype account has been blocked. I don't know what the issue is. I have the password, but it won't let me make calls. I have cash on the account too. But now it is requesting me to fill in forms. What year did I set up my account? 10 years ago or so, maybe 11, maybe 9, 8, 7, not sure. What card did I use to last put money on it.... not sure, it was about a year ago, debit or credit? Can't remember. But out of the 10 questions, I seem to have got one wrong, but it won't tell me which one. I have asked customer service for help, but the genius just asked me to refill in the form. I did again, same issue, something wrong (waiting for 24 hours for failure notification on both occasions) I've asked him to point out what is wrong, but genius refuses to. Honestly, a pathetic customer service experience. 0/100 score. Just some autogenerated BS from India. I've had to now set up an entirely new Skype account. So warning, if your account is blocked, don't bother with customer service. They are useless. Just set up a new account and forget about what ever cash is on your account. Thanks Skype!!

To check illegal skype access of my skype account

Hi,
I was not online on skype and attending one business meeting. My friend called me and said that I abused him on skype while I was not accessing that time. When I access my skype account. I found that he was true. Somebody has accessed and abused him. The same time I changed my password. I would like to know that how am I get report of the person who accessed illegally my account from which region and from which IP Address. Can I take a legal action against the guy who illegally accessed my account. Many thanks in advance to help me to arrange the details or to get information of illegal access.
Best regards,

I am shocked to find a website that is currently allowing anyone for free to find an IP of any Skype account they type in. It finds my IP and my friends and is correct. It also then goes to allow you to flood the IP to bring the users internet to a halt on another website. Is this website known by Microsoft? How do I protect myself from this? Here is the link.

Same Skype Account on Multiple Devices

I hope I am posting this in the right place.
So I have a Skype program running on my Macbook and had the app running on my iTouch. For both devices I was logged in with the same Skype account. I really didn't like how things were going for the Skype app on my iTouch, so I removed it. For a couple days afterward, I wasn't using the Skype on my Macbook; not Online. However when I came back onto that one, I saw my friend's messages from those past days; trying to talk to me with no reply. When I spoke to him, he says that Skype showed that I was Online. Can someone explain to me what just happened?

That this works like you would exspect is one of the key features today so this should really work or they can delte skype from internet totally.
There is no use for a program you cfannot log in to. And if a comunicating program will not let you communicate it is even worse. Both the same time is pretty amazing that they do not fix.
Also you cannot call them and there is no email addres and to find any way of communicating with them you have to dig deep. Once you find it even if you are logged in to your account in your browser sometimes you have to logg in one more time to send and that is if it works at all.

It kept asking me "Request permission from Skype manager" which is my work account. I do have a personal email that I could use but couldn't find any link to starting a new private personal Skype account - help!! Skype site isn't very user friendly in cases such as this....thanks in advance!
Amy

Easily done.
You will need two things to do this:
1. Your Domain.sites file, which holds everything you create in iWeb, and which lives in this location on the hard drive that created it;
2. An external hardware device which can move files from one machine to another. Most prefer a usb flash drive for this task.
Copy the Domain.sites file to the external device (you could even burn it to a disk, for lack of anything else, and then drag it back off on the other machine) and then just bring it to the desktop of the machine you want to edit with. Double-click it and iWeb will launch the Domain with your Site(s) for editing/publishing.

It seems to be a problem with Facebook connection.
My Facebook ID is linked to my skype account.
I tried sending a message to a friend and the message comes to me.
Now, other people that send messages to her, it seems to come to my account.
How do I fix this?

Please disconnect your Facebook account from your Skype one:

Then connect again. Might be a wrong login was active on Facebook while you set up the initial link.

Skype to Go to Skype account

I am supposed to be able to set up Skype to go to call a skype account from a telephone. While this works in most cases, it will not recognize Skype ids starting with "live:" (accounts originally created when Skype started accepting Microsoft accounts (called live ids then). How do I get this to work with my account?

it is possible to disable a Skype To Go number in your account settings, but there does not appear to be a method to remove it
why do you feel this is necessary?
you control the list of originating numbers that are authorized to call your Skype To Go number, and the PIN, so there should be no worry
there are also no charges associated with having a Skype To Go number
Regards,
Neil

My aunt's Skype account does not appear in search ...

My aunt created a Skype account for herself so that we could all do Skype calls with her when she is away. I tried to add her to my Skype contact list today and her username does not appear in search results, when it used to, before. I logged onto my dad's Skype account, which I created for him and she shows up as having him added to her contact list. I then asked a friend to search for her on Skype and the username did not show up on her end either. Could my aunt have possibly gotten rid of her Skype account? Or is Skype having problems again?

Hi again,
Is your question raised here different from the one you asked here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Friend-s-Skype-account-deactivated/m-p/3773... ?
