Incoming Calls from Skype number delayed by 4-5 rings

This seems to be an issue that many have, and I am trying to find a solution. Recently got a Skype online number for local Sydney, Australia. When I do a test call to the number my iPhone does not start ringing for a good 4-5 rings. Add the time to unlock phone and answer from the alert message on screen and most people will hang up. Even if my iPhone is unlocked and the Skype app open on screen it still takes the 4-5 rings. Is there any way to reduce this time? Thanks

This morning I woke up thinking that I should turn off my iPhone and then call it from a land line. If the problem is the network then there would be a delay before I heard ringing.
I turned my iPhone off and called it. Right away I heard my message.
I turned my iPhone back on and called it. It rang right away!
So, did Virgin Mobile fix the problem or did turning my iPhone off fix the problem?
I don't know, but I'll take either. I do know that Virgin Mobile said it would be four days to check the problem. Did the problem get fixed yesterday when the four business days were up. I do know that I've had my iPhone on for a long, long time. Did upgrading to 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 cause the problem and turning my iPhone off reset my iPhone?
If you have delayed ringing problem and turning your iPhone off and on again resolved it, please post a note here.
P.S. I did call Virgin Mobile and its records show the investigation is still open. I hope my points get passed on to the investigators.
P.P.S. Reading my notes, I had turned my iPhone off and on last week. Maybe it's all the phase of the moon.

Is it possible to pick up an incoming call from an extension that is not physically ringing?

Is there a way to pick up an incoming call from an extension that is not physically ringing?
For example if an incoming call was ringing at EXT 1019 and they were away from their desk momentarily, could the call be picked up from another extension by pressing a number sequence or something?
we are using UC560. if you could tell in detail how it can be setup(config) and how it will work.Thank you in advance.

Please rate helpful posts.
Thanks,
Alex
Here is the inof for the Call Manager Express.
Enabling Call Pickup
To enable Call Pickup features on SCCP or SIP phones, perform the following steps.
Prerequisites
•SIP phones require Cisco Unified CME 7.1 or a later version.
•The PickUp and GPickUp soft keys display by default on supported SCCP and SIP phones. If previously disabled, you must enable these soft keys with the softkeys idle command.
Restrictions
•SIP phones that do not support the PickUp and GpickUp soft keys must use feature access codes (FACs) to access these features.
•Different directory numbers with the same extension number must have the same Pickup configuration.
•A directory number can be assigned to only one pickup group.
•Pickup group numbers can vary in length, but must have unique leading digits. For example, if you configure group number 17, you cannot also configure group number 177. Otherwise a pickup in group 17 is always triggered before the user can enter the final 7 for 177.
•Calls from H.323 trunks are not supported on SIP phones.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. telephony-service
4. service directed-pickup [gpickup]
5. fac {standard | custom pickup {direct | group | local} custom-fac}
6. exit
7. ephone-dn dn-tag [dual-line | octo-line]
or
voice register dn dn-tag
8. pickup-group group-number
9. pickup-call any-group
10. end

•gpickup—(Optional) Enables using the GPickUp soft key to perform Directed Call Pickup on SCCP phones. This keyword is supported in Cisco Unified CME 7.1 and later versions.
•This command determines the specific soft keys used to access different Call Pickup features on SCCP and SIP phones. For a description, see the service directed-pickup command in the Cisco Unified CME Command Reference.
Step 5
fac {standard | custom pickup {direct | group | local} custom-fac}
Example:
Router(config-telephony)# fac custom pickup group #35
Enables standard FACs or creates a custom FAC or alias for Pickup features on SCCP and SIP phones.
•standard—Enables standard FACs for all phones. Standard FAC for Park Retrieval is **10.
•custom—Creates a custom FAC for a feature.

•group-number—String of up to 32 characters. Group numbers can vary in length but must have unique leading digits. For example, if there is a group number 17, there cannot also be a group number 177.
•This command can also be configured in ephone-dn-template configuration mode and applied to one or more ephone-dns. The ephone-dn configuration has priority over the template configuration.
Step 9
pickup-call any-group
Example:
Router(config-ephone-dn)# pickup-call any-group
or
Router(config-register-dn)# pickup-call any-group
Enables a phone user to pickup ringing calls on any extension belonging to a pickup group by pressing the GPickUp soft key and asterisk (*).
•The ringing extension must be configured with a pickup group using the pickup-group command.
•If this command is not configured, the user can pickup calls in other groups by pressing the GPickUp soft key and dialing the pickup group number.
Step 10
end
Example:
Router(config-ephone-dn)# end
or
Router(config-register-dn)# end

Why is someone is receiving calls from my number when I'm not ringing them?

The person who keeps getting these calls has my number blocked and I don't have her number any more. She's receiving FaceTime audio calls from my number at all times of the day. Anyone know how this could happen and how I can make it stop? Thanks.

How can I receive calls from Skype number

Hi, my step-dad has just bought a Skype number.how can he receive calls if he doesn't want to log on using his laptop, for example, can he connect on his mobile or can we buy a phone and connect it to the wifi modem in his house? if he can buy a phone, what phone and where can he buy it?

Hi, does your step dad have a smartphone or tablet? If he does he can load the Skype app and connect to the wifi in his home.If he doesn't have a smartphone then look into getting an Android smartphone from wherever you buy phones from in your country. An entry level device will be sufficent if you don't want to spend much money. You can buy a Skype compatible regular phone but they are not cheap and have to be connected by ethernet to your home router http://dualphone.net/ Another option is to forward his Skype number to his landline (if he has one) and answer the calls there, then use his laptop to make outgoing calls when needed. A subscription would cover this quite cheaply.

Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds

Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds
I spent a while trying to seriously diagnose this problem with Skype support a year ago, but didn't get anywhere; I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the network at my end. But it's irritating me again now, so I thought I'd check whether anyone else gets this problem. It's incoming calls only, to the skype number only. I can recieve incoming calls from Skype fine, I can make outgoing calls to Skype and to telephone numbers fine, the problem affects both Skype on my Android Mobile (when it's connected to my home WiFi) and Skype on my Windows Desktop - so, not a software configuration thing.
When making a test call from my mobile to my Skype In number, it drops at the Skype end several seconds before the mobile notices the line is dead; definitely dropping out at the Skype level, and not the telephone network level.

Hi, ScottMaggie, and welcome to the Community,
I have referred your report to those to whom I report; I am not affiliated with Skype Customer Service.
What you so well describe here, a number transfer (highlighted by me in orange type) is not something Skype has the facility to do:
None would agree to moderate between myself and the current number holder to do a transfer. If that person simply gives up the number it would be a 90 day wait with no way to guarantee I'd get the number back. They need to do a transfer as this is the only way to make it work. I have no way to contact them aside from calling the number and leaving voicemails.
In the system's simplicity, there is no flexibility.
Just out of curiosity ... and curiosity alone, have you checked the e-mail address on your account to double-check it is the correct registered e-mail address? I ask because I recently did a Skype Number renewal, and I received e-mail alerts every step of the way.
Best regards,
Elaine

Call to Skype number from a country other than sky...

Hi,
I took a skype number recently with United states area code. But I have relatives in India who tried to call my skype number, but they were unable to make a call. They got a response saying number is invalid.
I want to know whether calls are not connected if people in India or from some country make calls to a skype online number registered in an other country.

The issue of cross store purchasing comes up frequently so I'll just quote one of the most complete explanations (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store you must be able to show some form of residency which would be either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

An incoming call from VoIP. The SPA122 generate Dial Tone after the far end hung up rather busy tone.

Hi All!
I have a problem with the SPA122 telephony adapter, uncorrectly process the subscriber signaling at the end of the call.
1) Outbound call from FXS port SPA122 . When a remote caller hangs up first , the subscriber SPA122 Reorder Tone played with a delay specified in the Reorder Delay. This circuit is working properly.
2 ) Incoming call from VoIP to the SPA122. When a remote caller hangs up first , subscriber on the FXS port of the SPA122 hears silence ~ 3-4 seconds , then SPA122 plays Dial Tone, as if he had just picked up the phone and he 's going to call . No signal lights out (Busy Tone or Reorder Tone) will not play .
Config is attached.
Model: SPA122, LAN, 2 FXS
Hardware Version: 1.0.0 Boot Version: 1.0.1 (Oct 6 2011 - 20:04:00)
Firmware Version: 1.3.2-XU (014) Jul 2 2013
Recovery Firmware: 1.0.2 (001)
WAN MAC Address: 6C:20:56:55:3A:B6
Host Name: SPA122
Domain Name: (none)
Serial Number: CCQ16450LG3
However, other VoIP terminals registered to Huawei, including older versions of the Linksys SPA2102 work in these scenarios correctly.
Where to kick it?

[2] is misconfiguration on your's side. You have CPC turned on, but no CPC capable device. Set CPC Duration to zero to turn off CPC.
By the way, wrong forum for your question. You should consider to move it to space.

I've tried calling my skype number

Hi I wanted to see if my skype number worked. I tried calling it from my land line from my house in France. I got an auto message saying the number is invalid. I tried with and without the national code. Please let me know how my friends and family can call my Skype number. I'm traveling starting from Oct 1 in Mexico, and I would like it to work before I go. Thank you.

I can't reject call from this number : 00 000000000

Hi,
Can someone help me with this ?
I've got an iPhone 4S with a french mobile phone operator.
Twice a day, I receive a call from this number : 00 000000000 (only zeros).
I can't reject the call, and there is never a message left on my voicemail.
My phone operator told me not to answer those calls, as they might be a fraud attempt.
They also told me it is impossible for them to block incoming calls on iPhones.
Can someone help me with this, even give me only information ?
Thanks.

Calling my skype number: sounds like modem, fax

When I got my US subscription and skype number, I tried calling it from another phone (att cell phone, and tried my work land line) to test it out and skype doesn't ring... It is just a weird modem, fax sound coming from the headset of the other phones. I do not even get a voicemail message from my skype number after the strange 'rings.'
I am using skype on my ipad mini. It is the latest app, too. I have tried calling when The ipad is connected to 4g and from my home wifi. I cannot receive any calls, ipad app does not ring.
Can still receive a skype to skype call, though. What's going on?

2811(NM-8AM) does not answers incoming call from PC

Dear friends,
We are planning to setup an out of band management connectivity, in our test setup we have a Cisco 2811 ISR (with IOS 12.4(9)T5 ) with NM-8AM (Analog modem module) installed.
Test Setup:
1. One Analog line (PSTN) connected to PC via built-in modem
2. Second Analog line (PSTN) connected to Cisco 2811 (NM-8AM) terminated on the analog modem module
3. Both the analog lines are working fine.
Test Scenario:
1. The router should accept the incoming call from PC. And from the PC we should be able to telnet into the router via dial up connectivity (Out of band)
Test procedure:
1. The Cisco 2811 router is configured as follows:
version 12.4
service timestamps debug datetime msec
service timestamps log datetime msec
no service password-encryption
hostname Dial-Up-CPE
boot-start-marker
boot-end-marker
logging buffered 16384 debugging
enable password cisco

ip address 20.20.20.1 255.255.255.0

line 1/0 1/7
modem InOut
transport input all
stopbits 1
flowcontrol hardware
line vty 0 4
password cisco
scheduler allocate 20000 1000
2. With the above configuration, the router is not able to answer the incoming call from the PC.
3. And from the PC we are able to dial to a PSTN number at the router side, PC gives a proper dial tone and once the number is dialed, the call is landed on the other side (router end) and it rings continuously. But, the router does not answer this incoming. The analog line at the router end is terminated on async interface 1/0.
As I am new to dialup connectivity with NM-8AM, Could some please suggest the proper configuration in our router configuration OR Are missing any commands?
Any links/references would be of great help.
Thank you
Pradeep

Hi,
I guess I'm having exactly the same setup. The integrated modem on the other end does pick up the call but soon disconnect after displaying "Waiting for carrier".
Any clue?
Thanks,
Eyad

You have to either use a transfer pattern or a translation rule.
