Is changing a skype-to-go number impossible.

We have had skype-to-go for a while now and it works great, but recently our land-line service provider identified one of the numbers from our skype-to-go list as a "Conference Line" which suposedly is more expensive. So, we want to change the number we dial, keeping the number it calls the same. For example, say we currently dial AAA-AAAA in Toronto and it calls BBB-BBBB in Mexico City. We would like to be able to call CCC-CCCC in Toronto, while still calling BBB-BBBB in Mexico City.
We have tried everything: deleting the entry, creating a new one without deleting, changing the number slightly, etc. Every time we create a skype-to-go entry on our list that is meant to call BBB-BBBB, we *always* end up with AAA-AAAA as the number we must dial. Frustrating!
Is there a solution? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You can set up your family members' phones as registered phones and your UK World SIM number as a SkypeToGo contact. This way, your family members can call the local direct-dial numbers to reach your UK phone number.

  • My Skype to go Number changed locations costing me...

    Hi. I have been using my Skype to go Number in Ottawa/ ONTARIO for years now. However the last few months the number is being charged as a long distance number on my landline phone bill. contacting my Landline provider they informed me that the location of the number i'm dialing is not in ottawa anymore but in Athens Ontario. I was never informed of any location changes to my number, and I was charged 6.65$ first month and 19.25$ the second month. this ended up costing me more than just dialing the long distance number directly. I need to contact skype for a refund for this issue asap, and be provided with a local number that is actually registered as in OTTAWA , ONTARIO.

    Go to your account page, under Manage Features select the Skype to Go tab, look on the right hand side for "nearest location" and click Update. Select Canada/Quebec/Montreal (two area codes in the list 438 and 514) choose which code you want.

    Hi, RKJR, and welcome to the Community,
    The only way to change your Skype Number is to cancel the subscription you have, and to start a new Skype Number subscription.

  • Changing my Skype number and keeping my credit on ...

    Can I change my skype number and transfer my credit for a new Skype number?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Skype numbers and credit are tied to the account.  If you add an additional Skype number or replace the number with a new one when the old one expires, then the credit won't change since it's still tied to the account.  If you want to transfer the credit from one account to another then as far as I know,  it's not possible on standard accounts.  If you recently purchased credit within the past 15 days that you didn't use, you could request a refund.  You could then apply the money from the refund towards credit on another account.

  • My Skype to go Number is in the wrong locations

    although I selected Montreal Canada, the SKYPE to GO number that was given to me is local to Toronto. How can it be change to a local Montrea number.

    Go to your account page, under Manage Features select the Skype to Go tab, look on the right hand side for "nearest location" and click Update. Select Canada/Quebec/Montreal (two area codes in the list 438 and 514) choose which code you want.

  • Skype-To-Go number in different location

    Dear Skype enthusiasts and friends,
    I thought somebody could help me on the following:
    I have a UK mobile registered with my UK Skype-To-Go, and can call this Skype-To-Go number and it says: "Hello and welcome to Skype. To dial one of your speed dial contacts press 1. To make any other international call press 2", and like that I can make world-wide phone calls for little number. (On top of that, if I register speed dial contacts I also get a UK landline number for these, which is very handy).
    I am now in the USA for a few months, and managed to change the location for Skype-To-Go to "nearest location" and have registered my US cell phone. My speed dial contacts have been updated to US numbers (instead of the UK landline numbers). I also get a text message from Skype which includes US numbers for my speed dial contacts in Europe, etc, and this is very handy and it works.
    Now, my question is, I cannot find anywhere a US number which I call which then says "Hello and welcome to Skype. To dial one of your speed dial contacts press 1. To dial another international number press 2."
    This is very important to me, as I can use option 2 and type in any number I like and it puts me throught. because I cannot find the above number, this means I need to continiously change my speed dial contacts (maximum 8 or 10 are allowed).
    Any suggestions or solutions?
    Thank you very much.

     Any help appreciated.
    Thank you
    If you are trying to call telephones, you still need to have Skype Credit on your account or pay for a subscription.  Calls to telephones from Skype are not free, even if you have a Skype To Go number. 
    Skype To Go is an alternative for making calls when you are not able to use the Skype program or app to log into your computer.  By itself, you do not gain any privileges for calling telephones.  That's where the Skype Credit or a subscription come into play, covering those charges.

  • Can't Receive Calls to my Skype To Go Number

    We recently purchased a year long unlimited calling plan AND a skype to go number.
    Unfortunately, no one can call my number. Sometimes they receive a busy signal, other times it just beeps once and hangs up.
    Can you tell me why this is happening and how can we fix it so that I can receive calls to my to go number???

    If you mean "Online Number" please do the following:
    First check your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in. Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone". Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
