How to know Skype number is it used to call from?

Hello,
When someone calls my mobile phone from Skype, a random mobile phone appears as the caller ID. When he calls my house phone from a Skype, a random local phone number appears as the caller ID.
What is the logics of that? Is it possible to determine if some phone number belongs to Skype?
Thanks in advanced,
Jaime

Hi, Juanvizoso, and welcome to the Community,
Good point!   I just checked one of my contacts from whom I receive frequent calls, and who also has multiple numbers in their profile, and noted the same thing. 
When someone calls your Skype Number, you would indeed not be able to determine if they are calling you via the Skype account, or via the Skype Number.  This is by design and is normal, because the Skype Number simply provides a fixed (or, "land") line number for people to reach you, and you answer on Skype.
The only work-around would be to separate out all of the numbers. 
Kind regards,
Elaine

  • ASK : Skype Force Close when using Voice Call

    dear all
    how to fix skype force close when using voice call.?
    please help me.
    i have tried reinstall skype.
    thx before.

    From the top of my head, install Thinkpad Communications Utility
    and within it is an option called "Optimize my microphone for". Try
    switching it to "Normal use" instead "Only my voice". Also, in Windows
    Control Panel there should be an icon for "Realtek HD Sound Effect
    Manager". Fire it up and goto "Microphone" and try switching between
    the two options. Maybe that'll help too, but am not sure.

  • Skype number not displaying correctly with Caller ID

    Hello, I have had my Skype number for several years and it's been no problem for those with Caller ID to have my Skype number displayed when receiving a call from me.  However, the past few months this has changed dramatically.  Now, my Skype number is NEVER displayed when calling someone and in fact, most of the time it displays numbers or even names randomly which have zero relation to myself or my number.  Other times, the users Caller ID will display "Skype User".  Why has this suddenly happened and what can be done to ensure that it's corrected and working properly again?
    My account is indeed configured to display my Skype number (as it has been for several years), but this has no longer has any bearing whatsoever on the number displayed when I call someone.  I have found that some people are no longer accepting my calls since they have no idea that I am the one calling them. 
    This is happening when I call numbers in the U.S. and sometimes Canada and does not matter where my physical location is - if I am in the U.S., U.K., Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc, the result is always the same - my number is NOT displayed. 
    If anyone could offer some advice which would take care of this, I would be most appreciative. Thank you, Greg

    Yes, I have read that FAQ and I realize Caller ID does not work for all countries.  But that same FAQ indicates that Caller ID is available for the U.S.  And this is where I make the majority of my calls.  However, as I mentioned in my original post, my Caller ID has NOT been displayed for several months.  What is displayed are randomly changing phone numbers and names that have no bearing whatsoever with anything related to my actual Skype number or name.  I've done my own testing when calling my home phone from Skype.  I'll call multiple times in quick succession and I will get different results each and every time.  The last six calls to my home from my Skype number resulted in the following results: Number displayed not related to my Skype number (different area code entirely)A completely diferent number displayed not related to my Skype number (again, different area code entirely)Name displayed which is not a name I have ever been acquainted with beforeA completely diferent number displayed not related to my Skype number (again, different area code entirely)"Skype User" displayedA completely diferent number displayed not related to my Skype number (again, different area code entirely) If Caller ID is no longer offered in the U.S. the Caller ID FAQ should be updated to reflect this change.

  • Online Skype number is in use by a local hospital

    The Skype number I selected is apparently still in use by a local hospital. Whenever I make outgoing calls to my friends land lines or mobile phones, their caller ID shows the local hospital name and my Skype number. Also, when people call my Skype number, they get the local hospital, not me.
    I called my Skype number from my land line and spoke to the hospital and they say that my Skype number has been in use at the hospital for over 20 years.
    How can I get my number changed or correct this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • [ASK] How to know the number of usage of each Atomic Service ??

    I correct my question:
    *How to know the number of usage of each Atomic Service by the Domain & Enterprise Services?*
    I want to see the number of usage of each atomic service(AS) by other services (DS & ES)
    ex:
    es_A  ----->  ds_B   (1x)    ----->    as_B    (2x) --> so as_B is accessed by es_A twice (2x)
    es_A  ----->  ds_C   (2x)    ----->    as_C    (2x) --> so as_C is accessed by es_A 4times (4x)
    es_A  ----->  ds_B   (2x)    ----->    as_D    (3x) --> so as_D is accessed by es_A 6times (6x)
    es_B  ----->  ds_B   (1x)   ----->    as_E    (1x) --> so as_E is accessed by es_B once (1x)
    es_B  ----->  ds_C   (3x)    ----->    as_F    (2x) --> so as_F is accessed by es_B 6times (6x)
    es_B  ----->  ds_B   (4x)    ----->    as_G    (1x) --> so as_G is accessed by es_B 4times (4x)
    etc..
    Is there any tool in OSB, WLS, BPEL Console or Java Developer to support it?
    Thank you...

    1. In the sbconsole, when you click on the proxy or any resource name, you will see information about number of references and referenced by as two parameters.

    2. In the OEPE, eclipse you can see the same in the "Reference" view of the OSB perspective.--> I'm using Java Developer right now, does it work?Thank you1. You can see the reference in: sbconsole -> Resource View -> Click on Proxy or any resource name -> it will show Ref: <n> some number and -> Click on the number. Do you see this?

    How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

    Sorry to reopen an old post, but I've just purchased a 2nd hand late-2013 iMac (or so thats what the seller said).
    I'm always sceptical though, and just wanted to know if there is a way to check if my iMac is indeed the late-2013 model that included Haswell?
    I've attached screenshots of the About This Mac section hoping it may help shed some light.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    PS - I can't compare to the iMac specs link you posted above because its now showing the late-2014 models.

    In Event Library: how to know if a video was used in the timeline of Final Cut Pro X?
    An example: In Premiere Pro, the whole video is added to the timeline identified as used in their video library. Facilitating our work on a big project, not to repeat videos. You can do this in FCPX?

    The way it works in FCP:
    Working from the Timeline Index, you can see lists of all clips in the sequence and their location in the timeline.
    You can also do a search (kevn) to narrow the results.

    Your OS might provide a command to support this question like '"netstat".
    Besides, on Unix the pseudo-file system /proc is also useful.

    Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon

    Hi.  I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.
