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

  • Calls not being forwarded to skype number

    Hello, I have had my Skype number for 2 years now and never had a problem.However since end of November 2012 calls from the USA are no longer being forwarded to my cellphone in Germany.No , I have not changed my settings , why should I , since it has been working perfectly all these years.There is no way to get help from Skype and I am extremely frustrated with their service.It sucks to pay for a product that won´t work.I am a dissatisfied customer and will leave them if they do not straighten out their stuff.

    Hello, I have been a SKYPE user for the past 5 years and everything has been working fine.  Recently, calls from telephones to my skype number are not being forwarded to my designated number.  I've tried to turn off and on forwarding feature but still not working. Calls from other skype contacts using skype calling me are forwarded but not from any landline or mobile contacts calling my skype number.
    What happens when you call your Online Number? 
    If calls directly from other Skype users are being forwarded to your designated number, but not the calls made to your Online Number, call-forwarding appears to be working.  You may have a different issue related to your Online Number. Has it expired?  If you click on "Account" at the top of this page, you can verify that your Online Number is still in effect by clicking on "Online Number" once you log into your Skype account through that link.
    If your Online Number is still in effect, here's something else to check.  From a computer (not the Skype app on a mobile phone or other device), can you verify the Privacy setting for Online Numbers?  It should be set to allow calls from anywhere.  If not, it is possible that this setting was changed, preventing you from getting calls on the Online Number.

  • 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

    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,

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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
    DETAILED STEPS
    Command or Action
    Purpose
    Step 1
    enable
    Example:
    Router> enable
    Enables privileged EXEC mode.
    •Enter your password if prompted.
    Step 2
    configure terminal
    Example:
    Router# configure terminal
    Enters global configuration mode.
    Step 3
    telephony-service
    Example:
    Router(config)# telephony-service
    Enters telephony-service configuration mode.
    Step 4
    service directed-pickup [gpickup]
    Example:
    Router(config-telephony)# service directed-pickup gpickup
    Enables Directed Call Pickup and modifies the function of the GPickUp and PickUp soft keys.
    •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.
    •custom-fac—User-defined code to dial using the keypad on an IP or analog phone. Custom FAC can be up to 256 characters and contain numbers 0 to 9 and * and #.
    Step 6
    exit
    Example:
    Router(config-telephony)# exit
    Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
    Step 7
    ephone-dn dn-tag [dual-line | octo-line]
    or
    voice register dn dn-tag
    Example:
    Router(config)# ephone-dn 20 dual-line
    or
    Router(config)# voice register dn 20
    Enters directory number configuration mode.
    Step 8
    pickup-group group-number
    Example:
    Router(config-ephone-dn)# pickup-group 30
    or
    Router(config-register-dn)# pickup-group 30
    Creates a pickup group and assigns the directory number to the group.
    •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
    Exits configuration mode.
    Examples
    The following example shows the Group Pickup and Local Group Pickup features enabled with the service directed-pickup gpickup command. Extension 1005 on phone 5 and extension 1006 on phone 6 are assigned to pickup group 1.

  • Inter-Trunk not route incoming calls from out

    Hi,
    I setup one extra gateway where I try to route part of our calls. So far I have success to route internal calls into there, but when I'm making a test call from outside that ends into "number is not used" problem.
    I have:
    - Route ready, elsewere the internal calls are not working.
    - PSTN usage, linked to the Route
    - Trunk configuration where I have selected the PSTN usage
    - Incoming numbers are coming in E164 format
    I have also tested the "Test-CsInterTrunkRouting" and that gives "pass":
    FirstMatchingRoute : Description=;NumberPattern=^\+358123654789;Name=Test
                         Gateway;SuppressCallerId=False;AlternateCallerId=
    MatchingUsage      : Test PSTN Usage
    MatchingRoutes     : {Description=;NumberPattern=^\+358123654789;Name=Test
                         Gateway;SuppressCallerId=False;AlternateCallerId=}
    But still, when I made a call from outsited the OCSLogger shows that mediation server try to offer call to Front-End which says only: "SIP/2.0 404 Not Found" and then bye-bye.
    What is the missing magic, which made the mediation server to see alternative route? I hope it is not required that mediation server must be collocated on the Front Ends, as that one I do not have.
    Any good ideas?
    ps.
    I'm not sure does it matter, but my Lync gives "SIP/2.0 403 Forbidden" when there is coming call from extra gateway. But as the calls into there works, then I don't see why external calls should not also work.
    Petri

    Could it be even so, that intra-trunk routing requires consolidated mediation server? As the call is owned by the Mediation server (stanalone), and it is trying to offer that to FE. FE reply "does not exist". Because of the standalone Mediation
    server does not have the call routing engine like FE have, the call is lost.
    I started to think above as Lync users are able to call to that number. So FE is able to do the routing and get calls into the correct place.
    I have to say also, I have read
    Ken's blog about inter-trunk routing, I have to say that I'm not so sure what he means by this: "Fortunately, in most cases, adding PSTN usages to the trunk has no effect, since there is almost always a Lync user assigned to the incoming phone
    numbers". Why to add additional routing for the numbers which are already inuse? I hope it is not required, that you need to have a users ID for each number you do the inter-trunk routing?

  • How can i hide incoming calls from showing on my screen

    How can I stop incoming calls from showing on my home screen?

    If you just don't want to see the call notification on your home screen go to Settings, Notification, Phone and turn Notification Center to Off.  Or you can simply select None and calls will be listed in the Notification center but you won't see a banner / alert on the home screen.
    This also eliminates the Caller ID from being displayed before you answer the call.

  • I teach Spinning- is it possible to stop incoming calls from interrupting the music?

    I teach Spinning- is it possible to stop incoming calls from interrupting the music? I have the newest iphone.

    Don't worry they will get diverted to the answerphone.

  • I can't decline incoming call from my iphone display

    Dear friends,
    I'm using iPhone 6 but I can't decline incoming call from my iphone display. I saw YouTube video  to view reject/ decline incoming call I need to press power button twice. But seems odd to me. So now what I'll do or if there is no option for that then what'll Apple do?

    The Decline button will only appear if the phone is unlocked. If the phone is locked when you receive a call, the only option is to double-tap the sleep/wake button to send it directly to voicemail. If you tap the button once, it will silence the call, but it will continue the ring cycle before going to voicemail. If the screen is awake, then you will see the Decline button. Feedback to Apple goes HERE, and click on the appropriate link.

  • Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

    text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

    i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
    if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
    i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
    the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.

  • CUPC Incoming Call from Hunt Group

    Hi all!
    Is is possible that I can see whenever someone calls me on my extension, or whenever a call comes in from a hunt group? Can I differ the incoming calls?
    Regards
    Rene           

    Are you talking about the attendant console hunt group? If yes, then you can do this by using the broadcast hunting feature. What it does is, all calls to the hunt pilot will be placed in queue and will be displayed in the Broadcast calls window within the Attendant Console. All uses can see the calling number of calls in queue and pick and chose the calls they want to answer.
