How Online Number Displays on Mobiles

I've recently started using an online number with some relative success. However I'm getting mixed results on how it displays.
In 3 seperate tests (to the same mobile phone!) it's just appeared as +44 161... 044161... and just 0161... which is exactly how I'd like it to display.
Any idea on where there's a difference and if they're is any way to fix it down to one style?

Currently, you can't. Because if you were to for example call forward one the other one would call forward as well. All Online Numbers Share the same voicemail as well.
That said, it is possible using the public API to do this using a 3rd party program, but the Skype clients cannot do this on their own.
I personally don't know of anything that does this automatically by Online Number.

Online number on three mobile.

Why am I not receiving calls to my Online Number on three mobile?

You are right, there must be something to adjust.
I feel your Online Number function will almost be there.
If possible, will you try:-
a. set-up in your SkypeMobile the call forwarding so that all incoming calls will be forwarded to your Blackberry phone.
b. make call from a landline to your Online Number and see if your Blackberry rings.

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.

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!

Possible mobile online number? need something to r...

hi everyone
anyone know any solution for me?
i love skype and i would like to join if there is a service just like online number, but in mobile version.
i need something i can receive SMS, so landline version of online number is not very working for me.
anyone know anyting i can do?
cheers.
Sam

can I purchase an online number & have calls forwarded to my mobile?
If so, will callers pay local rate charges?
Do I need to have the Skype app installed on my phone in order to recieve the calls? (I do have it installed, but it really drains my battery)
Would be be able to see who is calling and which number they're calling (my mobile number or the 'online number')?
Hi,
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. You can forward Online Number calls to your mobile:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/call-forwarding/
2. Callers pay local rates if Online Number is local to them. Online Number acts like a regular landline number and people calling this number will get charged the same way as they would call regular landline in that area/country. Keep in mind that for call forwarding to your mobile number you will be charged. It would be the same if you call your mobile from your Skype account.
3. If you forward calls to your mobile number, then you don't need Skype on your phone.
4. You should be able to see who is calling. Skype should forward caller ID as well if it is enabled by caller. As you know not everybody has their caller ID visible when making calls.
I hope this helps.
Andre

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

unleashyourgeek wrote:
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.

Because Skype's Online Numbers can't be used to receive SMS messages. This is how they have always worked, and Skype hasn't advertised that the Online Numbers can be used to receive SMS messages.
If you want to provide a way for those receiving your SMS messages from Skype to reply to you, you would have to set up Caller ID to use a mobile number on the SMS messages you send from Skype. The replies would go to your mobile phone, not to your Skype account.

Online numbe/caller id

how is an online number displayed on caller id when I call someone

rickytruth wrote:
I just called myself with my online number and noticed the number showing up in the caller id, was a completley different number. When I call back the number that shows up in the caller id I get an out of service message. How do I get this corrected?
My current number is: *removed for privacy*
The Number Showing up in Caller ID is: *removed for privacy*
Since those numbers were removed by a moderator, I can offer a general answer. Assuming your Online Number is from one of these countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), you should be able to set it for Caller ID. Log into your Skype account using the "Account" link at the top of this page. You should then see your account, including Caller ID settings. If you don't see your Online Number for your Caller ID, click on the link to change that. You would then be able to select the number, and save the change.
Even with this, there is a possibility that the telephone carrier(s) used to connect your calls from Skype to a telephone number won't pass your Caller ID information along. This would be outside of Skype's control. You can at least make sure you have the number showing up in your account's Caller ID settings, which should take care of the issue you mentioned.

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?

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.

Online number without wifi or 3g

Hi,
I want to buy an online number and I was wondering if I will be able to receive calls trhough my online number without wifi or 3g service and just having the local operator signal (Verizon or AT&T).

If you are asking if you can receive calls to your Skype Online Number through your mobile phone's number, you can do that. You would have to configure call forwarding on your Skype account, to forward unanswered calls to your mobile phone's number. You would also need to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription to cover the cost of the calls forwarded to your mobile number.
Since you mentioned Verizon and AT&T, I assume you are in the USA. If so, you have a couple of options. If you pay with Skype Credit, forwarded calls out to your mobile number are just like making calls to telephones from your Skype account - 2.3 US cents/minute, plus a connection fee per call. Or you can purchase the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month, or with a 15% discount if purchased on a yearly basis (just over US$ 30/year). Then you would have the option to answer calls on your Skype account directly, or have those calls go out to your mobile number whenever you're not logged into Skype.
Hope that helps!

Hi, I recently extended my subscription for an online phone number on Skype. Howevermy online number is not showing up on other people's phone when I call them. Instead, they get a random number when I call them. It used to work correctly before the extension. Please recommend the proper procedure to have my online number displayed on other people's phone when I call them. Thank you.

Ever since I renewed my original US phone number it no longer shows up the same. While people can dial my US number and reach me. Yet if I call them my 310 US number shows up as a 661 area code or unknown caller, why is this? And can it be changed back to my original 310 number that appears when I call friends and family?
If people on telephones are seeing what you describe when you are calling from Skype, you need to make sure your Caller ID settings have your Online Number used for Caller ID. It is possible something changed the Caller ID settings. If the Online Number expired and then you renewed it, the expiration probably turned off your Caller ID. Caller ID is not enabled by default, allowing Skype users to make that choice.

How do i put a mobile number in on numbers '09? like 0414441472. Doesn't like 0 at the front. Thanks

Ed,
There are a number of ways to do this. Your phone number consists of all numerals, yet isn't a numeric value, but rather a text value. Numbers doesn't know that, so it treats it as a numeric value and strips off what it feels is an unnecessary leading zero.
You have there options:
Format the cells as Text prior to making the entry.
Leave the cells as a Numeric value format, but choose Custom Format to set the number of displayed places and choose to display leading zeros.
Use the Numeral System Format and set it to base 10, displaying 9 digits, or whatever you need.
There are ways to convert a number to text and add required leading zeros with a formula too, but it's needless work.

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?

I want to send sms to cell phones and have my new skype online number show as the sender. But, how to get the 'code' to set this up? Does not seem to be working.

This is not possible sadly, I have taken issue with this in Australia in the past. To recieve text messages you must set your sms number to your mobile phone number then verify this number by entering the code that is sent to your mobile. I am working on recieving messages on skype it is my thinking that it wold be very difficult to compete with skype as a normal telecom so they don't allow it.

I managed to get an online number but bought it for the wrong Skype account - is there any way I can get it transferred across to a different Skype account?

It's not possible to transfer products from one account to another. But you can request a refund and purchase a new number for the correct account.
