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.

I want to change my Skype number.

The Skype number I have is giving me tons of calls and voice mail for someone else and I want to get rid of it but can't. Please help.

Is it possible to change the port number of an already installed ITS?

Hello,
I've done an install of the latest ITS stand-alone application (win2k server , IIS). It was installed on port 81.
Is there an easy way to change the port number of this ITS installation without doing a new install? I know there are port references in the itsregistrywgate.xml file but was not sure if these were maintained during install or by reading the global.srvc file entries.
I've taken the simplistic steps of changing the port number in IIS and the global.srvc file but that does not work. I get a 403.2 read access forbidden error.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Graham

Hello Graham,
yes, it is possible but depends on what you want.
For IIS, WGate is depending on the following items:
ISAPI wgate (the filter API that triggers on /scripts/wgate) which is normally a general isapi for all webserver instances.
the virtual directory "SAP-WGate-Scripts" which exists for the according "virtual" webserver instance.
the (web)servername in wgate registry, which points to your virtual webserver
the "Port" in the URL section in wgate registry.
So, if you want to change the port (e.g. from 81 to 82) for both your virtual webserver and the wgate then go ahead.
But if you want an extra virtual host (e.g. on 82) then:
create the virtual host on 82
create a "SAP-WGate-Scripts" directory on this 82 host exactly as the one on the 81 host.
change the "Port" in the wgate URL section.
if you also have an own docroot directory you have to copy the SAP mimes from the 81 docroot to the new one.
The only thing that will be wrong afterwards is the webservername, this will have no effect on the runtime behavior but at the next patch install you will get an extra dialog to identify your webserver again.
If you wanted to go for the latter scenario then it might be less work to add a new instance by install e.g. a dual host wgate on the new virtual host or a single host install (with a dummy agate).
Afterwards you can play around with the WGate configuration to change it to your needs.

Fekke

How to change a Skype number without cancelling the subscription?

Hi there,
I had purchased a Skype number of UK and it works well but now for some security reasons, I wish to change the number but without giving up my subscription. Is there a way to do this?

Hi, Supermom1110, and welcome to the Community, Simple answer: no. A Skype Number subscription is tied to the number. For clarification, a Skype Number subscription is separate from and unrelated to a Skype Calling Subscription which offers discounted prices for placing calls to land lines (and in some cases, mobile numbers). Regards,Elaine

Can I change my Skype number?

I want to change my number to a Canadian number. The subscription renewed on Aug. 15th and I haven't used the number since then except for receiving one voice message. Is it too late to change it, or to cancel it, get a refund and get a new number?

Due to various regulatory issues, Skype Numbers are not available in Canada.

Changing Skype Number?

Is it possible to change a Skype Number? I have just signed up a week ago intending to relocate from one US city to another. I am no longer relocating but would like an anonymous number like this one to dispense on business cards etc. Can I change the online number?

Hi, dmac..., and wecome to the Community,
A Skype Number works like a subscription; you can cancel it, and start a new one. You may not otherwise "change" the number you currently subscribe to to something else.

My Skype number may already be in use?

Ever since I created my Skype number I have been receiving phone messages for another person, as if the number I received was already in use. Is it possible to change my Skype number in such a case?

Hi, Biebes1, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact Skype Customer Service to report the number you chose and, if you know it, the name of the party who is still receiving calls on your new number. It could be the people who are calling are not aware of the previous user's new contact details, and that what is now your Skype Number may still be appearing on business cards and stationery are still in circulation citing what is now your Skype Number.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service As you know you wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request. You may also skip past Step 4 where it is recommended for you to check the Community -- you have just done this!

Can I change my mexico skype number to a new location in same country, from mexico to guadalajara

Hi, Davegel, and welcome to the Community,
The only way to change a Skype Number is to cancel the current subscription, and to start a new one. In other words, a Skype Number cannot be changed. Its simplicity affords no flexibility.
Happy New Year,
Elaine

Possible to change Skype Insant Message icon on Android phone?

Is it possible to change the Skype instant message icon apperance on my android phone (Motorola Droid) so I don't get Skype IM's confused with a text message? When I get an instant message from Skype, I'm not sure if it's a text message or an instant message from Skype since the icon looks the same. I'd like to difference the two. Thank you.

No there is no way to do this and if it was turned up to spin faster then this could result in internal damage to your phone

Change Skype number

Hi
Is there any way I can change my Skype number? I need to change the area code or first 3 digits

Hi, mwa1, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, no. The only way to change your Skype Number is to cancel your current subscription, which stops its renewal, and to choose a new Skype Number.

Unable to renew Skype Number

When I log into Skype, it tells me my number is about to expire. When I click on "Settings" to renew it, it simply tells me I have insufficient Skype funds (I don't). All it will allow me to do is "Update" my payment settings, even though it actually won't (when I press "billing" nothing happens). When I go to the section of the site to download a number, it only aks me to purchase a new one. HALP.

Hello,
On the day your Skype Number subscription expires, it will be automatically renewed for the same period of time for which you initially purchased it.
To change your Skype Number payment method:
Sign in to your account.
In the Manage features section, click Skype Number. You’ll see the next payment due date under your Skype Number.
Click Settings.
Here you can change your existing payment method.
You can change your payment method as long as the new method supports recurring payments, such as a credit card, PayPal or Skype Credit. This is not possible in countries where the payment cannot be made from your Skype Credit balance.
When you cancel your subscription and your Skype Number expires, you can reactivate it from your account within 90 days.

Is it possible to change the Caller ID location?

When initially setting up my Skype phone number I selected the wrong location (Astoria, Or instead of Portland, Or). I have tried the following steps:
1. Sign in
2. Click on 'Caller ID'
3. Click 'Edit'
4. It does not give me the option to change the location (Astoria).
Is it possible to have this changed or do I need to create an entirely new number for this to happen?
Thanks in advance.
LD

Hi, LennyDee, and welcome to the Community,
Without studying a map to determine the proximity of Astoria to Portland, I offer this, as the situation can become complicated in a hurry: if the exchange you selected can be used for either Astoria or Portland, than changing your Skype Number may not make any difference. However, if you can choose an exchange dedicated to Portland only, than it most certainly does. There are articles on Wikipedia which list all of the area codes + exchanges and their location assignments; hopefully the lists you research have been maintained and are current.
You would need to cancel the Astoria exchange Skype Number subscription, and start a new Skype Number subscription with a Portland exchange. If you explain the circumstances to Skype Customer Service, maybe they could arrange to refund the cost of the first subscription you did not intend to purchase.
You will need to contact Skype Customer Service directly for assistance with canceling (and maybe obtaining a refund for) the first Skype Number subscription. You would start a new Skype Number subscription with a Portland exchange on your own.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.

Elaine
