Local Access Number

I live in the USA, but my father lives in Wales. Is it possible to set up a Skype to Go number for him, so that he can dial a local number to connect to us in NY and I pick up the Skype charges?

Hello,
That's not possible, I'm afriad
Irrespective of the country in which your father is loated (Wales,USA/ Wales,Australia/ Wales,UK) he would need a Skype account and associated Skype Credit to fund the call charges.

    Ow, that does hurt!  I think the problem is that Skype did not assign us "519" area codes.  I've sent Customer Service an email, suggesting that the problem be fixed or return my money!!  Will have to wait and see what happens.
    Unfortunately, there may not be much Skype can do.  It would all depend on where you are calling from, where your Skype To Go number is located (area code and prefix), and whether a call from your phone to the Skype To Go number is considered a long-distance call by your landline or mobile phone carrier. 
    Skype never guarantees that calls to Skype To Go numbers are always free, since you can call those numbers from almost anywhere in the world (if you're willing to pay the cost of a call to those numbers).  This is more of a problem now, with so many new area codes popping up all over Canada and the USA, where a phone across the street from you can be in another area code - and, depending on the jurisdiction, could be considered a long-distance call! 
    Good luck!

  • Local access number for Skype to go billed as long...

    HI there,
    My local area code is 519 (London, Canada) but my Skype to go numbers start with 226-777 . I didn't know until I saw my last telephone bill were the phone company is charging every call made to this skype to go numbers as a long distance call. Any solution ?

    Hello -
    I live in Kitchener, ON and have just looked at our telephone bill.  The same problem.  I've been charged for long distance charges for each call!!  I hope that Skype responds.  I now have a $33 long distance bill and I'm not happy.

  • Access number problem

    I have just set up my skype acount for skype to go. I then looked at my access number and tried to dial it, it asks me to enter 1 as though it is a long distance number. I expect that the access number is a local number and does not need to have 1 before dialing. Can anyone tell me why this is and how to fix it?
    Thanks

  • I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. Help please

    I bought my iPhone 4s in the Uk and then brought to Cyprus where I live. I used Siri to call my husband 2 days ago without problem but now when I try to use Siri it won't call any local Cypriot number but will call my Uk contacts. I can call the same numbers manually so it's not my network. Any help would be appreciated.

    This sounds like an international issue? Although I can not see why? I brought my phone in Australia and operating it in Indonesia, I have the same issues.... Otherwise Siri works fine, even texting (SMS) to local numbers siri works well, but dialing local number it just wont work...! I will try using my Australian SIM card and see if that is the reason.. I tried changing the number in the contacts and took out the international prefix, I turned the international assist on and off still nothing.. How frustrating. I called apple, the technican had know idea and we to his supervisor, had to wait fro 40 miuntes and then I hung up..
    PLEASE HELP..!

  • Windows 7 on Mac Pro, Local Access Only, No Internet

    Installed Windows 7 on my 2.66 Quad Mac Pro. Whenever I boot, the network adapter icon in the traybar comes up with a yellow slash through it that says "Local Access Only" Looked into troubleshooting, turning off Network power management, turning off IP6, etc... No fixes. I can browse my local area network but not the internet.
    When I boot in safe mode with networking, the error does not show on the network taskbar icon and I can browse the internet just fine.
    Here's the temporary fix that I found works every time in standard boot mode.
    1. Assign a manual IP address to the network adapter. (192.168.1.160). (make sure the IP is in your DHCP Scheme and the IP is available (no other devices using that IP)
    2. It will automatically assign a subnet (255.255.255.0)
    3. Close the networking window.
    4. Right click on the network icon with the yellow through it in the task bar and click "Troubleshoot problems"
    5. It will come up quickly with a fix (saying you should not be using a manual IP). Click "Apply Fix" then windows 7 will put the computer back to DHCP Mode.
    6. Try it now. Everything should be working.
    No permanent fix on this yet but when a new boot camp 3.1 network driver comes out, hopefully it should fix it. If anyone else has a permanent solution, it would be appreciated.

    My thought - because the only issues I've had personally with Vista/7 have had to do with modems and routers, and went away once I upgraded those. Sometimes there are firmware updates to deal with new OS.
    Your post didn't seem to mention wired/wireless or modem and router in place.
    you might want to look for an Intel driver. Also, you must have had network to install and update Windows 7, look to rollback the network driver if possible, or uninstall + restart and let Windows reinstall a device driver.

    Yes, as new iPhone then restore from backup.

  • Realizing the modem and voice access in 5300 with the same access number

    I want to use the same access-number to realize the access to modem dial-up and voip voice call-in.But I do not know if it is possibility because of the confusion in the identifying the dial-up and voice call.

    AS5300 distinguishes voice or modem call based on the called number (DNIS) received for a call. As long as the DNIS received is unique for voice and modem call , AS5300 can distinguish based on the configuration.
    For more info refer these links.

  • Short term need of local country number.

    Hi,
    It does happend that it would be convinent to have a short time usage of a number.
    I talk about much shorter then 3 months...
    Some times I wish I hade a number for perhapps just an hour, so that I can be reached on a local phone number in a country.
    Just now a friend of my visit Finland and he could borrow a friends mobile to make local calls and he wish to get in contact with me. It was not an option at the time to arrange with data trafic so that he could start his skype client on his phone. No roaming on his subscription. Just an sms from his friends phone...
    If I could have 'bought' a Finnish number for an hour, he could have called...
    To buy a number for 3 mounths for 150 SEK feels way to expensive as it was not a mather of life or death...
    Br.

    thanks  Ann,
    I am fairly tech un - saavy....   What are the costs associated with that ??     Will the google voice number have a local area code ??  
    much appreciated,
