Hi, Seacrest, and welcome to the Community,
You will need to contact Skype customer service to sort this.   Here is another link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
As you know you intend to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

Elaine

  • New Skype number payment pending

    I want to finalize my new Skype number. At point of payment I was asked to verify payment then next screen was an error message. Payment has been pending for 48hrs. I doubt this payment will finalize as the verify process didn't complete. i want my new number ASAP. Can I cancel pending payment and retry. I'm in a hurry as going overseas. Thanks

    Hi, patmills123, and welcome to the Community,
    Once more, as noted above: Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Additional notes since posting the above information: Skype is aware of continued and sporadic problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. 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 - most importantly - 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 impede reaching an agent.

    Hi, Skypephone1, and welcome to the Community,
    Please contact Skype customer service to report this problem and to request that the number be tested.  You can then request a refund  for the number, and start a new Skype Number  subscription.

  • "Cricket Number is No Longer In Service" After porting my number 2 years ago?

    I upgraded to the LG G3 last Friday and when my grandma and my employer try to call my phone it is saying, "This Cricket number is no longer in service." I have had 3 different SIM cards and I stupidly dropped my new LG G3 and had to order a replacement, which arrived today (9/27). So I have had 2 different phone as well. I ported my Cricket number over to Verizon over 2 years ago!!!!! I have been to the store several times, and have contacted technical support along with other various Verizon numbers to no avail. Everyone has no idea what is going on and it has been bumped to the highest level of customer support. The Verizon techs keep asking me if anyone else has trouble calling me but how would I know if the number is coming up "No longer in service?" Has anyone experienced this problem before? I have no trouble sending calls to the aforementioned numbers and have never had this issue in the past!!

    Cantphaseme
    This may be a ridiculous question, but do your employer and grandmother use Cricket?

  • New Skype Number 'Pending' for days

    Hi all, 
    I'm based in the UK but have recently purchased a USA Skype Number.
    Despite having already been charged for the new (USA) Skype Number, it's been sat in 'pending' status for about 5 days.
    Any suggestions? Skype customers support is non-existent hence the post here.
    Cheers.
    Martin

    To add to the above, the 'status' of this transaction does say 'created' but still I'm unable to either see the telephone number in my account or use it.
    Cheers,
    Martin

  • New Skype Number

    I just purchased a skype account/number. While I'm able to call out I'm unable to receive any calls. Any idea how long it takes after a purchase to be able to receive calls?

    Hi, Simcha, and welcome to the Community!
    Your Skype Number should be available to receive calls almost immediately.  Please contact Skype Customer Service directly to sort this.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

  • Skype number not working / long forwarding times

    Dear Team,
    my skype number is not working although I allowed everyone to call in my privacy settings.  This has been happening quite often and now it is already down all day.
    I put it on forwarding to my mobile number for now, but although i set the time to forwarding to one 2nd, it takes 20 seconds or so until my phone rings. Is this normal?
    Can you please help me fix this. And please don't send me the customer service link with which i should click my way through. I tried many times to "click find" my answer. I hope a discussion with a human being helps.
    Best,
    Joerg

    Hi, Maxchina, and welcome to the Community,
    My hands are tied - you asked not to be provided with instruction how to contact Skype Customer Service - which you would have to click your way through - and which I would normally recommend you do just to double-check nothing is awry with your Skype Number. 
    Our Community Guidelines do explain that this Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service; no customer service agents monitor the posts here.  We here in the Community are not authorized to access Skype accountholder files or records.
    As far as the delay in forwarding, have you tried to set your "number of rings" setting in your client software settings to "0" (zero)?  Sometimes that does the trick.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • Setting up new Skype number - area code missing fr...

    Hi.  Wanted to set up a Skype number with the area code, 316, from my hometown of Wichita, Kansas.  And, but, that area code doesn't appear on the pulldown menu.  Any help?  Have a feeling I'm being dumb and missing something obvious, but that's the trouble with being dumb -- the obvious isn't.
    Thanks all.

    Hi, Bsieverts, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, if Skype cannot obtain blocks of numbers from the telephone service providers, then that is how there can be holes in the lists of available numbers.  There can be several legitimate reasons why this occurs.  As Joanna noted, above, we need to check back on occasion.

  • New Skype Number Not Work

    I just bought a local US number to use it in China.  When my friends try to call my skype number from their US phones, it showed "user busy" and got disconnected immediately.  The call was never connected at all.  I wonder if there is anything wrong.  How can I fix this problem?  Thanks.

  • Does my new skype number work on my android mobile?

    I guess Skype's description of Skype number is confusing. I have Skype on my android phone. I suppose it always on in the background (yes? no?). I just bought a Skype number. So, am I correct in understanding that if someone calls that Skype number, it will ring on my mobile? If I am NOT correct, how do I get that to happen. I don't hang around my computer most of the day. I am out and about with the mobile. And normally Skype is not open on my computer unless I expect to get or make a call.

    Nevermind. I now know it should work but it doesn't.  The problem is that skype number is not working on my samsung galaxy s4 with android 5.01. Any ideas on how to get it working? Otherwise, I've wasted $60.

  • Trying to get a new skype number

    but no area codes come up so I can't proceed - HELP

    Hi, VLinVA, and welcome to the Community,
    Two things could be occurring here:
    If you are experiencing website issues, try accessing the Skype website using a different web browser than you typically use.
    If you are successfully working your way through the order process, and are not finding the area code you prefer, this is due to numbers not being available for any number of reasons out of Skype's control.  Skype Numbers are indeed not available everywhere.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    If you proceed to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

    Hi, Community123,
    Sorry; apparently the blue type, which is a link, is not showing for you in my post further above. 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.

    I just added a new Skype number for Wisconsin, and now I wish to cancel my old Skype number with a Cincinnati area code. How do I do that? I followed the instructions, but there is no "cancel Skype number" option under my old Cincinnati Skype number. I tried finding a phone number for Skype so that I could get a live voice to help me, but never found this. How can I cancel the old Skype number?

    Who do I contact with Skype to change my South American number (Chilean) to a US Skype number, now that I am back in the US?

    Here is the process, not in any particular order: cancel the Skype Number you no longer need, and start a new Skype Number subscription.  Believe it or not, that is all there is to it!
