My online number doesn't ring through

Hi,
I'm in Sweden, but have an Oregon online number. When people call me they just get a recorded message to leave a message... it doesn't ring through to me. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.

Have you tried this.
First check that 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.

  • Online number does not ring

    My online number does not ring on my computer...it has in the past and all of a sudden it no longer rings...what is the problem....all sound and speakers work correctly it doesnt even show an incoming call only registers that the number has called

    I have had a Skype online telephone number for over two years. However, within the last two months, I have been having a similar problem as SteveCl, as when someone calls my Skype telephone number my Skype does not ring intermittently.
    In addition, I use Google Voice, which allows someone to call my Google Voice telephone number, which will then automatically ring all of the telephones that I have associated with this service. For example, if someone calls my Google Voice number, my landline, cell phone, MagicJack, and Skype telephone lines (should) ring. My landline, cell phone, and MagicJack all ring consistently when someone calls my Google Voice telephone number. However, Skype rings intermittently, at least in the last two months.
    Until recently, my Skype online number rang consistently when someone called it. This problem has only manifested itself within the last two months. Making the problem even more puzzling is that sometimes my Skype online number will ring through while other times it will not. For example, on March 24, 2012, it worked; however, on March 25, it does not work. Sometimes Skype will not ring through at 3 p.m. but will ring through at 3:30 p.m.; as I said, this is very intermittent. I have the most recent version of the Skype software installed. Skype is configured to allow calls to my Skype number from anyone. I have not changed this setting.
    I can use Skype to call out to telephone numbers or other Skype users without a problem. In addition, I have not noticed any problems when Skype users call me; Skype on my ends rings through in this case. Skype-to-telephone and Skype-to-Skype calls are usually good quality, so my Internet connection should not be influencing this issue.
    I would also like to contact Skype directly about this issue. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

  • My Online number does not ring

    I keep getting told by people that they are ringing my number and it just rings out.
    I dont get a notification on my pc or a missed call logged.
    This does not happen all the time, but frankly once is more than enough.
    I would like to contact Skype directly about this, but can't see how - has anyone else had this problem?
    Is there something I can do/check to see if its my end?
    Thx for your time.

  • Online Number doesn't include unlimited country mi...

    I used to be a subscriber of online number which includes unlimited minutes of that country. This year, when I tried to renew, it doesn't include the minutes!! I didn't know it until I noticed my credit in my account is dropping!! Now, I had to go back and subscribe the minutes for that country, and found out I have 50% off discount if I get an online number. Is it possible to refund 50% of the online number that I have previously subscribed?? Can someone help me??????
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    You can contact Skype Customer Service and explain that you wish to have a discount for the number.
    How it can be done at all? They will issue a refund for your number, then number will of course be removed from your account (but reserved for you for 90days) and then you will have to go thru the payment flow again.
    I cannot promise they will refund your number, but that is the only available option

    I've subscribed a Skype number in Hong Kong, set it as my caller ID. However, whonever I call in Hong Kong, it only show as Unknown Caller. On the other hand, if I call someone in Australia, the number does come up correctly as +852XXXXXXXX. Anyway got any idea?
    Thanks,

  • Online number doesn't work at all

    Hi,
    I have a Chilean online number, for my family back in Chile to reach me easily. I've had that number for over a year now, and my current subscription is supposed to work until March, 2012.
    However, when my family tries to reach me, they get a message in spanish, stating the phone number has been deactivated.

    I have just purchased an online number and voicemail. I cannot receive any communications - no receipt of phone calls, no receipt of SMS messages, no voicemail. I can place calls though. I have tried using the Android and Linux applications.

  • Online number doesn't work anymore

    Hi everyone,
    I bought an online number approximately 1 month ago. It worked perfectly but now it says that this number is disconnected or no longer in service while it should work for two more months.
    The number is +1 312 307 3347
    Thanks for your help

  • Sign up screen for Skype online number doesn't giv...

    I am trying to register for an online Skype number. But when I get to the screen asking for an area code, there are no options. So I can't proceed beyond this point. I live in Texas. Are there any restrictions in Texas that might be preventing me from getting an online Skype number? Or is there a web site problem? I have a valid Skype account and apps loaded on my computer and iphone. Frustrating...

  • No meaning to get skype online number

    No meaning to get skype online number, i subscribed for whole year online number, but the online number doesn't work most of the time, I am very upset, disappointed, and my friends are also very upset, angry and worry when they can't find me through the online number i bought, i am too busy to complain the quality, but now I need to voice this BIG BIG PROBLEM. I am using android reception Orange . Skype has to compensate me!!
    Also if I am out and call my other country friends from my mobile through Skype, most of the time the sound quality is very very bad, they can't hear my words, like under the water, so what is the point i pay money to Skype !?!?

    I have the same problem, after I choose my state, the area codes are 'loading' but none are displayed in the drop down menu. I tried this a few days ago as I was exploring this option and phone numbers for my area code were shown. So,  a  temporary glitch?

  • I renewed my subscription, but my old online numbe...

     Really irratated by the fact that I renewed my previous subscription for a online number but my previous online number doesn't show. I think I spent more than I should have on my subscription and it still doesn't do what I thought it would do. What even more irratating is I can't find a phone number to call skype to deal with this problem. Can anybody help me out?

  • Forwarding an Online Number (again)

    I've searched the forums for this, but no luck so far.
    I'm trying to test call forwarding of my online number. If Skype is running on my Mac and someone calls the online number, it will ring on my computer as it should. I also know that call forwarding to my cell phone is working because if I'm not at my computer and Skype is not running, my cell phone will ring if someone Skypes me. But if Skype is not running on the computer and someone calls my online number, my cell phone will not ring, and I don't have any idea why.

    I'm wanting to set up the same system. Then I can have a stable skype number, and when I traval I will just skype to forward to a forien sim card number. 
    How relyable is this system, and what is the call quality like? 

  • RTX 4088 not ringing when called using online numb...

    I have read a lot of posts some with solutions( that don't work) and others stating that this is a known skype issue.
    Firstly i have just bought my second cordless phone, RTX 4088, nice phone but wont ring when anyone rings me on my online number. This is hit and miss, works some days others not. Actually doesn't work most of the time.
    I had a long chat with skype support and did as a another post suggested deleted an xml file, changed some settings and sat about for 5 minutes, this didn't work.
    I did get it to work by doing a full reset on the phone, this fixed it temporarily. 15minutes later.
    RTX support is useless, they said contact skype and skype said contact them....
    I am pissed at skype over this, no public notice that this is a bug and no real solution. Online numbers are pointless if your phone wont ring when someone calls. You may as well buy a €6 corded phone and leave your computer on because thats the only calls i can receive. Dont spend th €90 euro for a fancy phone that just answers skype to skype calls.
    Skype please fix this bug and stop giving us the run around.....

  • Online Number not ringing (And not able to reset p...

    I got reports from several persons who called my online number that it is not ringing, it goes direct to Voice Mail, i checked the requirements to have it working, Have the latest version of Skype (DONE), Be online in the computer (DONE), and if still not ringing, reset the privacy settings, this is where i got stucked. In the support forum i found that the way to reset your privacy settings is to change the setting in TOOLS-->Privacy under "Allow calls to my skype number(s) from..." to "Phone numbers in my contact list only", wait 5 or more minutes, and then switch it back to "anyone". My problem is that no matter how many times I change it to Phone numbers in my contact list only", and no matter how long i wait, when i come back to TOOLS-->Privacy, it is always in "anyone" so i guess there is something wrong with that setup option. Anyone with the same issue and solution? please help ! I'm trying to run a business using this number but all my customers are going straight to the voice mail !

    let me know if you find out anything new - this is also supposed to be my business number and it doesn't work - very frustrating experience.
    good luck!

  • Cost of ringing the online number

    Hi,
    can the online number be treated as the landline number re the cost? It's just that my mum has free international calls to landline numbers and I asked her to ring my new online number. Would it still be free for her to ring me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi wd9ewk,
    You sound like you might know the answer to my question. I have set up an on line number in Brisbane where my 82 y young mother lies. We are traveling to Turkey & Greece and want her to be able to call use if necessary. Will she be charged international rates?
    Tonight we tested the number and got her to call our Skype presently in Sydney she couldn't get through by calling 001161 (calling outside Australia). Instead she got through by calling her area code and the number.
    When we are o/s I am just concerned that she will be charged international rates and that kind of defeats the purpose.
    Do you know the answer?
    Thanks for the compliment.  I don't know everything about international calling, but have to support an office PBX that has some people that make international calls. 
    Your Online Number in Brisbane would be in Brisbane's 07 area code.  If your mother is in the same area code, she should only have to dial the 8-digit number.  If she is outside the 07 area code in some other part of Australia, simply dialing 07 followed by your 8-digit number is all she would need.  Not knowing where your mother's phone is, and not knowing what your Brisbane Online Number is, I can't say with 100% certainty that the call is free for her.  It would *not* be an international call for her, in any event. 
    When she rings your Brisbane number, receiving her call would be free when you are logged into Skype in Turkey, Greece, or wherever.  If you forward calls to your Skype account out to a telephone number, you would need to either have Skype Credit or a subscription to cover calls to whatever number you are forwarding to.  Be mindful that subscriptions for most countries do not cover calls to mobile phones, unless you opt for a specific "landlines and mobiles" or "mobiles" subscription - and they cost more than just a "landlines" subscription.  And, if you are using a foreign mobile phone in places like Turkey, Greece, etc., your roaming voice and data charges from your mobile carrier may be high. 
    Skype's Online Numbers can be very useful.  I have a Melbourne (03 9xxx xxxx) number, which helps my friends down there who have not (yet) joined Skype to stay in touch.  I have 3 others, and - if Skype has numbers in the places you want - they are great tools.
    Enjoy your trip!
