My Skype Number has a problem

Hello
I recently purchased a Skype number because I liked the idea that when I travel people don't have to dial a different number for me, as my number is forwarded via Skype.  Or something like that...anyway, I asked a friend to call me and it did not work.  I tried to call myself from my computer and it also did not work.
What is the problem here?  Can anyone suggest a solution.  
I am in the UK visiting from Colorado and therefore I purchased a Skype Denver number that everyone will get to call me.  I need it for business and therefore cannot afford to miss any important calls.  Please help as soon as you can.

ave 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.

  • Northern Colorado, USA - Skype number has been dis...

    As with the others here, our incoming Skype number rejects all calls with "You have reached a number that has been disconnected." or something equivalent, depending on the calling carrier. There's no way to do any workaround like forwarding or voicemail, as the call is rejected at the very incoming level. We've had this number for over 4 years, and now it's useless. There is plenty of credit sitting there in Skype Manager, so there's no reason from our end for it to be disabled.
    I already have an escalation with Skype support that has been in for 1.5 days so far with no effect on the problem.

    Hello Elaine,
    Thank you for your assistance. Since we became aware of the outage at approximately 9AM, Dec. 24 US Mountain Time, I have been making use of Skype support's "live chat" to try to get information or any sort of feedback about what to expect. The first live chat session was at 9:17 MST on Tuesday, but given that Skype has generally been able to resolve outages like this fairly quickly in the past, there was no escalation at that point and I was not very worried. When the problem was still happening Tuesday evening, I used support chat again close to 8PM MST. The technical escalation was put in close to 9PM Tuesday night. At 5AM MST, an Email came in regarding the "SRX" escalation, but the email was completely in Chinese, and any attempts to use Babelfish or Google translation were unsuccessful in retrieving anything intelligible from that email.
    Last night, after another full day of outage, I once again went on Skype live chat support and interacted with a support person who was very empathetic, but really had nothing to offer other than "All we can do is wait."
    At this point, it's been yet another full day since then with no change in the problem and zero usable communication from the "technical escalation" aspect of the situation.
    I have probably "overcommunicated" here, but I thought it was worthwhile to make clear that I have been communicating repeatedly (3 times so far) with "first level" Skype support, but I don't know that there would be reason to expect it would do any good to chat with them again tonight.
    The "just waiting in the dark" goes on.
    Thanks again!

  • I paid my bill and my skype number has been deacti...

    My number was deactivated today when I paid my bill 5 days ago on the 17th of March.  It was not due until the 21st but I paid it and it has posted to my Visa card and all.  I don't understand why my number has been deactivated.  I have important calls to receive but cannot because it's telling all of my callers that my number is no longer available. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I bought or activitated a skype number for 3 months (it cost 17,25 Euro) sometime in October 2012 and should be valid from October 2012 to December 2012. If you don't want to continue this number you have to cancel it before the 3 months peried ends. Now, this number didn't work and I wrote email to skype to complain, but there is only that noreply email address, which you should not write to and apparently it didn't reach skype.. The payment was deducted form my Paypal account. So, apparently my complaint didn't reach skype. I just find out about this forum/community now.
    Then, skype, since it perhaps doesn't know my compliant, deducted again from my paypal account the next 17,25 Euro for the next 3 months. As a protest that I don't want to continue this number or order, I stopped the amount deducted by paypal. But skype has got it already from paypal.
    Now skype is writing me that the payment is fraudulent, and paypal has now gone to a lawyer to get the originally 17,25 payment that skype has deducted from them which which I had stopped and the amount now that paypal want me to pay has gone now to an astronomic high of 87,38 Euro (including lawyer cost).
    I want skype to cancel this number I subscribed because it doesn't work, and they were not easy and available to be reached for customers. And I want to claim the 34,50 Euro (17,25 Euro x 2) be refunded, and I want skype to pay paypal the amount that paypal is claiming from me, because if it doesn't for skype, the amount that paypal is wanting from me would not have accumulated.
    Is there a case like this in this forum? Are there skype employees here who are reading this? I don't know where to send my complaint. It is unfair for individual customers because skype is a vast apparatus and you don't know how to connect with them to protect one's rights immediately.
    Please some good souls out there help me and message me.

  • My Skype number has been Deactivated

    Hello, About a month ago, i bought skype credit, and made a year subcription. Online for the number to be deactivated after a month. I have also paid for 3 months extra, but it is still showing pending. Is there someone i could speak to about this please? reference number 813304901529.

    For some reason the Skype Number wasn't included in the payment, while other payments are done automatically. When I bought more credits, the function "Reactivate number" worked and I could fulfill another payment (again). The number has been activated now, but it won't be hard to imagine that I'm not happy with the services and the working of skype / website!

    What people do who need such a scenario is set up a Skype account for each Skype Number, thereby creating the differentiation between each Skype Number.

  • Online Skype number is in use by a local hospital

    The Skype number I selected is apparently still in use by a local hospital. Whenever I make outgoing calls to my friends land lines or mobile phones, their caller ID shows the local hospital name and my Skype number. Also, when people call my Skype number, they get the local hospital, not me.
    I called my Skype number from my land line and spoke to the hospital and they say that my Skype number has been in use at the hospital for over 20 years.
    How can I get my number changed or correct this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello martm81
    Apologies for this mix-up. Please contact Customer Support and let them know your assigned Skype Number is an existing number, so they can cancel your subscription and remove it from the database.

  • Skype number inactivated and can't be reactivated

    For some reason my Skype Number has been deactivated. My account has been credited 10 days ago and I received a confirmation; so the payment has been received. If I try to reactivate the number I receive the message:
    "We're having technical problems. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again after a few minutes. Thank you.". I have this number for 4 years, so you can imagine the serious issues when this number can't be reactivated. To be clear, I'll rephrase:
    You deactivated my Skype number without reason
    "Reactivate number" function is not working
    You received payment for a service that's not working
    Number is also used for business, being disconnected is a serious issue
    Since you have no direct customer support; I would like to receive support and immediate action a.s.a.p. as any day counts for the obvious reasons

    For some reason the Skype Number wasn't included in the payment, while other payments are done automatically. When I bought more credits, the function "Reactivate number" worked and I could fulfill another payment (again). The number has been activated now, but it won't be hard to imagine that I'm not happy with the services and the working of skype / website!

  • Expired skype number

    I have been automatically billed for skype services ... and i still have a positive skype credit balance ... but i have been notified that my skype number has expired ... what is up with that? WHY did that happen? Does that mean that i cant make calls? Or that i can't be contacted via my skype number? How do i remove automatic billing for skype?

    Hi, 65GTO, and welcome to the Community,
    Please contact Skype customer service for assistance and to sort this.  We here in the Community do not have the tools to reactivate subscriptions or perform other account-related tasks, as is noted in our Community Guidelines.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of lingering 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 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.

    Hi there my old skype number has ran out. Would it be possible to get it back or would it have been given to someone else now?

    You would have to go through the process to purchase the number, then search for it after you select the country and area code it was in.  If you do not find that number, it has been resold to another Skype user or is unavailable to anyone for use as an Online Number.

  • Unable to reinstate Skype number

    We have just realised that our Skype number has expired (no notification received - we only realised after trying to call it several times ourselves).  However, we now cannot access the Billings and Payments screen (get an "oops we're having technical difficulties screen). If we click on the "reinstate number" link we get a "page not found" message.
    Basically we cannot do anything at all to try and reinstate our number.  We've been trying for a few days now, and really need our number back as it's advertised on our website.
    Anyone else having the same issues?
    Thanks

  • Skype Number Expired -- but it's not

    I really hate the notion of posting to a forum when I want a proper "contact us" on this website.
    Why does Skype tell me that my number is expiring but doesn't allow me to continue the subscription? 

    Hi guys,
    could you please provide screenshots for what you see on your Skype Number tab and in your Skype Number settings, if neither of cases below seems to apply for you?
    Skype Number tab:
    If your Skype Number's expiry date is approaching, three different links can appear where I marked the yellow arrow:
    "Extend" link: if your Skype Number is not billed automatically but you have to pay for each billing period separately. When you click "Extend", you will be redirected to purchase of the same Skype Number for new billing period (you pay > the expiry date will move to 1, 3 or 12 months from your last expiry date).
    This "Expire" link is also displayed if the number has been allocated to you from Skype Manager (company account). In this case you can merely ask your Skype Manager administrator to prolong the number via a form (you will get there by clicking "Extend"), but it has to be manually managed from the admin account in Skype Manager (in Features > Skype Number page of SM admin). You cannot extend the number from your member account in this case.
    "Reactivate" link: if a) you have cancelled your Skype Number, or b) your Skype Number has already expired, you can click "Reactivate". In case of a), you would simply reactivate your number and it would continue to be active. In case of b), you have 90 days of reservation period to pay for your number and then it becomes active again.
    "Settings" link: if you have recurring payment set up for your Skype Number, which means you are billing automatically every 1, 3 or 12 months. Your number can be expiring because the last recurring payment has failed (it can be due to expired credit card, insufficient Skype credit or many other reasons). In this case, you have to go to your Skype Number settings and change payment method, see following screenshot:

  • I am having problems to run logic pro 9, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user,  could anybody guide me?

    I am having problems to run logic pro 9, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user,  could anybody guide me? actually, my computer can't start  since three days ago, could it be the same problem?

    Logic is the APPlication (program, app) that you are having the problem with.
    Logic Pro can take advantage of other computers on your local (home or work) network to help it do "heavy lifting" data chores by using Bonjour and a feature called Nodes.   It seems that Logic is attempting to find and connect to another machine on your network.
    Do you have Logic installed on another computer there?  That may be the source of the confilict.
    You might want to post this question in the Logic Pro Community.
    Be sure to indicate the version of Logic Pro that you are using.  I'm sure the folks there can help you out.
