Message - 'invalid phone number'

When calling my son in Nicaragua (the same number for a year now), I keep getting a message after his phone rings for one second, 'invalid phone number'.  My son says his phone is working and I can call other numbers through skype.  What's the problem?

  • Call ended - invalid phone number

    Skype keeps telling me I am entering an invalid phone number. I have tried several time without success. I have credit in my account that I cannot use. I am talking of a landline in Chile here not even a cell phone.
    The message "call ended - invalid phone number" appears every time I try to call a number that I have called regularly for the past year. Don't know why it stopped working or how to remedy it. I have tried dialing from my contacts list as well as dialing directly.
    Sometimes (not always) other numbers in the same city seem to work making it a selective issue.
    I can't figure out what's wrong.
    This matter has been popping up since last year and no one in the bloody company of Skype has been able to supply a proper response in the community area or at least an instruction to fix it for ever more.
    If any of these seems familiar to you it's because I cut and paste messages of different people having the same problem although with no solution at hand

    I am having the same issue. I have checked for updates, but it says I have the most up-to-date version, I have checked my subscription, no problems there, I even have almost $15 in credit in addition to an unlimited monthly subscription. I think the problem started when Microsoft started messing with Skype. I am going to be asking for a refund on my credit and the past several months of my subscription if this issue can't be resolved. It won't work from either of my laptops, PS3, iPhone or iPad... Thier billing still seems to be working though, they charge me every month even though I can't use the service. I have sent messages to thier support as well but have not heard a word back. Any suggestions? Have already uninstalled and re-installed a few times... 

  • Hungary - invalid phone number

    I'm from Hungary and I have bought recentyl an unlimited world subscription. I tried to call some ordinary inland wired phone numbers, but I'have always received an "invalid phone number" error message. I can call only 2-3 numbers. 
    I did not miss the country prefix, so no idea what the problem is.
    Can anybody help?

    VideoHead, I just discovered the "Leave Feedback" screen in Skype, and I have sent in a feedback message, but I am not hopeful. Microsoft implies this form is just for requests for additional program features or for comments about audio or video quality.
    I suppose asking for Skype to work in the first place is a type of feature request, but that's probably not what Microsoft is interested in.
    If I should hear anything useful from Skype, I promise to post it here for you (and for others).

  • How do you search through configured Alternate Extensions to correct error message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object.

    When configuring a new Unity Voicemail Account I receive this message : The phone number or extension has already been assigned to some other object. I understand that this means that the 10 digit number I am trying to configure as the alternate extension for this user is already configured for another object with Unity.
    I need to search by the 10 digit number and determine where it is configured so I can change it and map to the correct end user.
    I have attempted to to search Users via DTMF Access ID using the 10 digit number with nothing being returned via that search.
    How do I Search all of the copnfigured Alternate Extensions within our Unity Server?

    A subscriber info dump is likely the fastest way.  If you're curious regarding other methods, you can also use the Data Link Explorer (CUDLE) tool which is in the Cisco Unity Tools Depot.  All extensions for all objects are referenced in the "DTMFAccessId" table.  The View menu has a Query Builder which you can use to compile a SQL query that searches for a digit string.  It's best to search for both the 10 digit string as well as an abbreviated string as Unity sees them essentially the same and they are usually should be associated with a single subscriber.  Once you find a match, you can use the "ParentObjectId" value associated with the DTMF access ID to look for a matching owner in the "GlobalSubscriber" table.  The ParentObjectId should match the SubscriberObjectId for a subscriber (assuming the DTMF access ID is assigned to a subscriber).  This is the same thing as looking at SQL; however, you are not directly accessing the DB so this is generally considered the safest way to browse and get a feel for where things are.

  • I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

    I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

    I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro reinstallation gives message "Invalid Serial Number".

    I just successfully deactivated a copy of Acrobat 9 Pro, insuring twice that I had accurately recorded the serial number.  Now, when I attempt to install it on another computer, I get the message "Invalid Serial Number.  This is not a valid serial number.  Please go back and re-enter your serial number."  This is going on a new computer for a staff member who needs the functionality of Pro so it is a big deal.

    Dave;
    Short version – it stated with 9707 – however the ORIGINAL SN did start with 1118 and now mysteriously works.
    Long Version – About 2 years ago, one of our attorneys left the firm.  We had purchased and installed 9 Pro on his PC while he was here and deactivated it on his computer when he left.  However, when we went to install it on another PC, we kept getting an invalid serial number message for the original number beginning with 1118.
    Adobe tech support at that time gave us a number beginning with 9707 and it worked.  The computer it was installed on at that time is circa 2004 and is being taken out of service.  However, with 9 Pro still being a product that meets our business needs, we saw no reason to dispose of it and deactivated it.  When we went to install it on a new computer, we got the invalid serial number message on the 9707 serial number.
    Yesterday, I dug the original cd case out of a box and entered the original serial number beginning with 1118 and this time it worked.  I know it was the correct box (out of our 20+ licenced copies of Acrobat)  because it still had my notes from my tech support call including the 9707 serial number.
    Bottom line is that this issue appears to be solved now (he says with all 14 of his fingers crossed).
    Thanks for emailing me though.

  • IOS 5.0.1 messages show phone number instead of names

    after the iOS 5.0.1 update, all my incoming and outgoing messages show phone number instead of names even though i have them in my contacts.
    i tried deleting previous messages, and restarting a new outoging msg to a specific number but when i start a new msg, after i add the contact, and i send it, it'll show the number instead of the person from my contact.
    anyone else having this issue and any possible solutions?
    also the number show up as +1 (951) XXX - XXXX
    +1 (area code) then the number.... instead of the name of the person in my contact.

    i went to the apple store and the tech told me the following:
    make sure you backup your photos, contacts, etc.
    the problem she said is due to a corrupt file for some iphones4s.
    1) sync your iphone with itunes
    2) do a restore and restore with a "new phone" instead of from backup
    3) your phone will be reset, but you'll have all your apps.
    after doing all this, your contacts and message should sync up.
    hope this helps.

  • My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    My friend recently switched from iphone to blackberry, but my messages to her are still sent as imessage. how can i send it as a normal message? she doesn't receive any of my messages. her phone number is saved in my phone under the phone tab, not iphone.

    Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching.  Have your friend do the following:
    Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
    Log in if not already logged in.
    Click on "edit products"
    Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
    Click "unregister"
    This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
    On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

    Its not something that SKYPE doesn't know about. This same problem has been going on intermittently since 2011. (There are posts that date back to January 2011)
    This seems to be a problem that Skype is unwilling to solve or fix.
    Perhaps if people called the Better Buisness Bureau and other authorities like the FCC, perhaps after a few million in fines they'll be willing to actually fix the problem.
    IF their company is not in the US, then they can be banned from operating in the US. This would create a problem for them as all countries would follow suit...except china.
    This problem might be considered a fraudulent service as you are paying for a service you can not use or promised services are not available as stated.
    So all the "moderators" that try to regurgitate the "make sure..." manifesto don't really have a clue. Its also not possible to hold moderators responsible for "placating" people with BS solutions as their usually not part of the company nor are they being paid to "moderate" forums.
    The only thing you can truly do is cancel your sub for Skype or just not renew it when it ends, this is what I plan to do. I can get vonage and pay a bit more and get problems solved. Perhaps when they lose a few million "PAYING" customers they'll acvtually get a proper support service and start acting like they have a service to render.
    Thats my advice, like it or lump it you know I'm right. So go get vonage for VOIP and drop Skype until they get a clue as to what their doing.

  • Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to install acrobat 9, i get a message invalid serial number, even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to re-install acrobat 9, i get a message "invalid serial number", even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    there is a lot of info at that link.  by checking that link you'll see that serial number only works for the exact product for which it was purchased.
    ie, if you purchase acrobat 9 std, you need to use acrobat 9 std installation files, not acrobat 9 pro.

  • Contact name not displaying for texts/messages, only phone number does

    When I turn on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2) in the morning (I shut it off at night), any received text messages (iMessages or standard texts) only show the phone number of the person who sent the text and the standard tone for texts is heard, when it should display the name and play the special text tone I setup on specific contact records.  It is not til after I use the Touch ID or enter my passcode that the name of the contact who sent the text displays AND the special text tone for that contact is heard.  This not normal behavior.  Even upon startup on my former iPhone (5), any texts received displayed the contact name and played the appropriate tone when the phone was turned on during the morning.  HELP!  I believe this is a bug; but, would like to have this confirmed.  If it's a setting or combination of settings that I'm missing in iOS 8.0.2, please let me know. 
    My contacts have never been stored in iCloud nor do I plan to use iCloud.
    Thanks!

    Try this: when device is ON remove the battery, wait a minute and turn the battery back to the device.

  • MEID number and invalid phone number

    I’m having trouble with over-the-air programming for my Palm Pixi Plus.  I bought the phone new, then had it sent to HP Palm to be repaired.  The phone was activated when I bought it, but after it was repaired it no longer works.  I called *228 and it says programming successful after a few seconds, but when I dial out, I get a Verizon prompt saying the phone number is invalid. 
    I was told that HP sometime changes the MEID # after repairs, but I don’t know how to check it on the phone itself.  I’ve tried the bypass tool but it won’t run – it doesn’t do anything.  The file I downloaded is devicetool.jar and it is in the main c: drive.  The command prompt line I was using is java –jar devicetool.jar
    I’ve also downloaded webOS doctor and reset my phone, but it still didn’t work. 
    Any other suggestions?  Should I trust that the MEID number on the CDMA Test Data Sheet is the same as what the phone is programmed as?
    Thanks.
    Post relates to: Pixi Plus p121vzw (Verizon)

    The MEID is a hard-coded number and is not controlled by the software. However, if you would like to check, you can go to the Device Info application and tap the More Info button to see all kinds of information, including the MEID of the phone.
    Your best bet is to call Verizon and let them know what's going on. If you can go through the activation ok, then it's probably the network that is blocking you call. They should be able to identify the problem and remove it.
