Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
1. Allow your Skype Number to expire. You won't lose your number -- it will be held on your account for reactivation for 90 days following the expiration date.
2. After it expires sign on to your account details. You should be presented with a triangle icon with an exclamation mark inside it and be greeted with the message that your Skype Number subscription has expired. Click on the "Reactivate" link and proceed to "renew". You should now be able to renew your number..

If I get a Skype phone number will I get calls and messages on my computer?

If I get a Skype number will I be able to recieive calls and messages on my computer instead of on a phone?

Hi, Cry1,CRY1 wrote:
Yes was the answer which is helpful. If my computer is on but not on Skype how will I know that a call is coming in ...You would not be able to tell if an incoming call is ringing if you are not logged in on Skype. If you are not signed on to Skype, there are two options:- The call is routed to voice mail- You set up call forwarding to a mobile or fixed line number, either of which requires a Skype Subscription or that you purchase Skype Credit to pay for call fees.- Look to set up SpinVox, which will send you a fairly good translation of a voice mail message to a text message. The SMS messages usually arrive within five to 15 minutes of a voice mail being recorded. CRY1 wrote:

My skype phone number shows incorrectly on the per...

When I call someone from my Skype app on my computer and that includes my cell phone, the number that comes up on my cell phone caller ID and the people I call is NOT my Skype number so those people I call never answer their phone because they don't recognize that its me. The number that they see and I see on my cell phone is very different as in a number with an area code in California and I live in NC. What is causing this and why is it occuring?
By the way I do have the latest version of Skype on my Mac.

What do I do about strange and different numbers appearing when I call someone. I live in New Mexico, my fake number has been in Florida, California, and "unknown" ( the one that no one picks up. I work in dog rescue. Important people answer, sometimes life and death. I pay for skype number. I also pay for Skype on the Go and cannot text from my computer. What's up? And help.

A different number shows up on caller id

when my daughter calls me from her phone, occasionally one of her friends phone number will show up on my caller id. It also happens on other peoples phone but it is always the same friends number.

That is extremely bizar, mnew! Lets get to the bottom of this. Has your daughter or her friend ever exchanged equipment? Have your daughter dial *73 Send. She should hear two ticks and that should end call forwarding if it was ever initiated. When she sends you text messages, does it come from her number?
Share details and test out after she dials *73 send.
Thank you,

Online number is not showing up in caller id

I live in the U.S. and my online number is not showing up when I call someone. Is there a way to fix this

I am constantly having problems with clients not seeing my phone number when I call. Why is this happening? Your answer here was very short and not very specific as to how to resolve this. I have been fighting this for more than 2 months now but I keep paying for a number that people can't see when I call them.
I'm sorry I did not give an answer that met your level of specificity. The original poster did not post the number he/she was trying to call. This is also a worldwide forum mostly inhabited by Skype users along with some Skype employees who post from time to time. I'm not a Skype employee, just a user who makes use of many features of Skype to avoid paying more $$$ to the telephone companies.
When Skype users have Online Numbers, these numbers are not automatically used as Caller ID when calling telephones from a Skype account. This way, the Skype users hold the control over whether or not to have a working phone number show up as Caller ID. Most who have Online Numbers want them used as Caller ID, but the users - and not Skype - get that level of control. In my opinion, that's a good thing.
The surest way to see the current Caller ID settings for your Skype account and change them is to log into your account on the Skype web site (use the "account" link on the upper-right corner of the Skype web site). When you log in, you will see the current settings, and the link to make changes. If you have Online Numbers that can be used for Caller ID, you can select them. Online Numbers in the USA and the UK are examples of the numbers that can be used as Caller ID from Skype, and numbers from Mexico and Australia can't be used as Caller ID. You also have options to use different numbers as Caller ID for calls to telephones in those countries, and have a "default" number used for Caller ID anywhere else. In my case, my default number for Caller ID is my US Online Number, and my UK Online Number is used as Caller ID for calls to the UK.
Even with these settings properly configured, there are still occasions where your number (an Online Number, or a mobile number which has gone through the verification process with two SMS messages) will not appear on the Caller ID displays of the phones you call. This is generally outside the control of Skype. If you are using a number that is not a "local" number in the country that you are calling, it too may not show up on the Caller ID display. Instead of posting on the community forums, using the Support link at the top of this page may be the better way to go. You can go through the knowledge base trying to find a solution, and end up opening a support ticket with Skype. If you have a subscription, you may be able to go to a live chat with Skype support.

Skype number shows up, but we never purchased one

Now when we call someone a phone number shows up on caller ID as one from the area we are at. We never purchased a skype number and seek to remove this number. How can this be done?

Hi, Hopesdreamz, and welcome to the Community,
If you are in the United States, does the Caller ID look like a (661) area code, and the text reads, Skype Caller? If this is the case, this is a generic caller ID assigned by the local telephone system carriers when caller ID data, if any, is either corrupted or not available in the case the call originates from Skype.
Here is a link to the FAQ library related to Caller ID and how to set your Skype account to read as you intend:

New skype no longer shows call icons as "incoming"...

In the contact chat history for a single contact, he old Skype client would show an incoming call icon as a "phone receiver with an inward pointing arrow", and show an outgoing call as a "phone receiver with an outward pointing arrow". This was vital information, to know if that call was one you made vs one you answered. The new client shows only a "phone receiver". Why on earth? PLEASE can you restore the ability to see via the icon whether the call was incoming or outgoing?

All the old computers I own branded or unbranded have been fully compatible with XP SP3. If for some reason you couldn't get your computer functional in XP SP3, you could always utilize the workaround I posted here to modify XP SP2 just enough to make Skype functional. I have a triple XP OS boot computer (XP 64-bit SP2, XP 32-bit SP2 [with workaround], XP 32-bit SP3) and they all operate just fine with the latest release of Skype (7.1).

How use new skype online number to send sms from s...

I want to send sms to cell phones and have my new skype online number show as the sender. But, how to get the 'code' to set this up? Does not seem to be working.

This is not possible sadly, I have taken issue with this in Australia in the past. To recieve text messages you must set your sms number to your mobile phone number then verify this number by entering the code that is sent to your mobile. I am working on recieving messages on skype it is my thinking that it wold be very difficult to compete with skype as a normal telecom so they don't allow it.

I bought a number but my skype account on my cell does not show it nor tell me how to load it.

Hello,
Skype Number enables you to receive calls on your Skype account and the caller will be charged local rates.
To receive calls to your Skype Number, you should be online on your Skype application, or you can enable call forwarding and voice messaging. And also, please make sure that you are signed in to only one device.
Please make sure that you have set up your Privacy Settings to "Received calls from anyone."
Sign in to Skype.
Tap the menu icon .
Select Settings.
Go to Receive calls from option.

Skype dial in number shows busy, engaged

I purchased a dial in number in Australia over 6 years ago. That worked fine, then I purchased another one and that just doesnt work.
Any ideas?
On my skype profile it shows that I have the number, etc, and when I try to call it, its giving me the busy tone.
any help is appreciated.

Plain old Copper phone line or FIOS ?
If it is FIOS you can go to your ONT and plug a phone directly into the test jack. If that phone works fine then you have issues with internal wiring. Could be a jack with some crossed pins or a damaged wire.

I have a paid account number, and when receiving calls I have to recognize by heart who is calling since Skype only show his phone number and not his name. Please help!

Having MDT display the wizard in case of a error (red/salmon) is by design.
Better to figure out which steps are failing in your task sequence and/or marking the failing steps with "Continue on error" in the Task Sequence Editor. That will suppress errors that are really warnings.

Subscribed online number not showing up on Called ...

Hi, I recently extended my subscription for an online phone number on Skype. Howevermy online number is not showing up on other people's phone when I call them. Instead, they get a random number when I call them. It used to work correctly before the extension. Please recommend the proper procedure to have my online number displayed on other people's phone when I call them. Thank you.

Ever since I renewed my original US phone number it no longer shows up the same. While people can dial my US number and reach me. Yet if I call them my 310 US number shows up as a 661 area code or unknown caller, why is this? And can it be changed back to my original 310 number that appears when I call friends and family?
If people on telephones are seeing what you describe when you are calling from Skype, you need to make sure your Caller ID settings have your Online Number used for Caller ID. It is possible something changed the Caller ID settings. If the Online Number expired and then you renewed it, the expiration probably turned off your Caller ID. Caller ID is not enabled by default, allowing Skype users to make that choice.

I have a problem with my Skype service. When I call people, the number: 661-380-3000 appears to them as the number I am calling from. I have no idea what this number is. It's no where close to my skype number.
Please help. I'm paying for an online number for a reason.

Have you enabled your Online Number to be used as your Caller ID? It is not done automatically. You should be able to do it through the program on a computer, or log into your account here on the Skype web site (use the "Account" link at the top of the page) and verify your Caller ID settings. Keep in mind that Caller ID may not be passed along to the phones you call, even if you have your Caller ID settings using your Online Number (again, assuming it is a US number or from a country where the number can be used this way). Online Numbers that can be used as Caller ID should be available as options you can select there. For example, numbers in the US and UK can be used for Caller ID, but numbers from Australia and Mexico can't.
Are you calling toll-free numbers with your Skype account? If so, the Caller ID settings may be irrelevant. When calling normal phone numbers, Caller ID information is generally passed to the number you call. For toll-free numbers, another number called ANI is passed along. For Skype calls, the ANI number is where the call is patched into the US telephone network. Most of the calls to US numbers are patched into the telephone network either at the 661 area code in the Los Angeles area, or at the 559 area code around Fresno in central California. When calling toll-free numbers, there is no way to force the number you call to see your Caller ID number. This also means that toll-free numbers that do not accept calls from those two California area codes may not be accessible with Skype. Some toll-free numbers limit where they will accept calls from, down to one state or even one area code.

I've tried to contact facebook support and been trying to get on live chat for hours to no avail. Please help me stop annoying people.

A month ago I received a spoofed call at 6A - obviously I was not happy. Came from 000-0000000 as I recall.
Tonight I had two irate people call me minutes apart saying I called them - I was eating dinner with my wife with my phone turned off in our eye-sight.
I cannot believe that we allow spoofing software and spoof cards these days, with only a crime if someone asks for money or does some similar fraudulent activity.

We received a call from someone who didnt speak English, was obviously reading from a script, and the originating number didnt show up at all on caller ID nor was it listed in recent calls on the phone (which means theyve figured out how to hide that data). THe caller said something like he was calling from the Microsoft Windows Support Center (warning flag 2,because Microsoft doesnt care enough about end users to actually call them). I could only understand fragments of what he was saying. Malware, errors, concerned, etc. I asked him to repeat his name and provide his MS employee ID number, and told him I was going to call a friend who worked at Microsoft to confirm his employment. SURPRISE! He hung up. I really would like to identify the originating number so I can report it. Without a doubt it's a scammer.
It's a scammer using a system (probably international via the Internet) that spoofs (hides) all caller ID information, which is why there was no Caller ID information or entry in the call log. It's illegal so reporting them even if you could woukd have no effect. If I don't get valid caller ID information from a number I recognize I just ignore the call or quickly answer and immediately hang up.
