My skype number is already listed on 2 websites

I got a skype number yesterday and I have been receiving calls from customers of a travel website who seem to have disappeared.
Can I get my skype number changed?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, 1800unlocks, and welcome to the Community,
Excellent question, and one which only Skype Customer Service can answer as we here in the Community do not have the tools to test and resolve such issues. 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 existing 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 - very important! - 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. Please see also this:

My Skype number may already be in use?

Ever since I created my Skype number I have been receiving phone messages for another person, as if the number I received was already in use. Is it possible to change my Skype number in such a case?

Hi, Biebes1, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact Skype Customer Service to report the number you chose and, if you know it, the name of the party who is still receiving calls on your new number. It could be the people who are calling are not aware of the previous user's new contact details, and that what is now your Skype Number may still be appearing on business cards and stationery are still in circulation citing what is now your Skype Number.

You may also skip past Step 4 where it is recommended for you to check the Community -- you have just done this!

Skype number still not working

I am have been subscribing to a Skype number, but when I call it an automated female voice answers the number despite that I have been trying to reset it by switching Skype privacy settings. When I call from Skype to my phone a caller id number that I don't know shows on my phone.

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:

My Skype Number is listed online and I get unwante...

Hello,
Since I first bought my Skype number a couple years ago I have been receiving calls from people looking for "VIP Cameras". It happened so frequently I Googled the name and number and found listings in several online databases that pool businesses together. I've done everything to contact those "yellow pages"-type companies for removal, and some have been compliant while others not. I tried to find the original owner of the company for VIP Cameras, but the company no longer exists, and as it turns out from customer reviews online, the camera company was a scam and ripped off numerous people. So basically, I own a phone number that is the scapegoat of a fake company that has its contact info plagued throughout the internet in shady name-sharing websites. I dealt with consistent wrong number phone calls in the dead of night while I was serving in the military overseas due to the time difference with the U.S., while I needed the number active for important calls from home.
I really didn't want to change the number because of my contacts who have me listed, but I have put up with this long enough, and I need to work with a representative to change my number. Please don't instruct me to block the numbers, as you might understand from my situation, the numbers are different every single time.

As well as the new download you will need the new serial number. You cannot use your original serial number.
(Don't expect it to work on modern versions of Windows or Mac OS though!)

Skype number for area code not listed

Hi, I'd like to use the Skype number service for the UK, but there's only one number is Wales and that's Cardiff (02921), which is 100 miles away. Is there a way to get a more local Skype number (01558 or 01267)?

Hi, TowyTimber, and welcome to the Community,
Skype does not announce when new exchanges are added to the list or pool of available numbers from which we can choose. Instead, we need to check back periodically to see if the exchange we desire has become available.

Can I get a Skype number for a country that is not yet listed?

Hi, DannyNav01, and welcome to the Community,
No, you can not. The list of numbers in the available countries and areas that appears is simply that - what is available.

Listing Skype Number in local telephone directory ...

What is the process for getting a listing in the local (Ireland, in my case) telephone directory (phonebook) using my Skype Number (which is a geographic Dublin number, where I reside). The publishers of the directory (which is available online and distributed throughout the area in paper form) indicate that only service providers can update the telephone directory. I know that other PSTN and VOIP service providers add/update phonebook listings for their users. What about Skype?
So what is the process for doing this with Skype Numbers? It is important to us that we can be listed in the telephone directory with our Skype Number.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Aimi,
   thanks for your response. However, I see that as a failure in Skype's duty as a service provider. I bought the Skype Number recently with the intention of holding on to it for the long term so that I could use it for my business, print it on brochures, letterheads and business cards etc. It is important that I be able to have it listed in the business pages of my local area telephone directory and in the online telephone directory. Surely you can see that as a reasonable expectation. Only service providers can update this directory. Otherwise I would do it myself. The publishers won't deal with individuals or individual busineses - only telephone service providers, so I need your help with this.
   I'm sure that other service providers have some churn in their number assignments too, but they don't use that as an excuse for not giving their customers a telephone directory listing. Skype needs to step up to the mark here and fulfill its responsibilities as a service provider and issuer of geographic telephone numbers.
   Are you saying that the only way I can do this is to transfer the number to another telephone service/VOIP provider and have them list it for me? In other words that having a Skype Number and a telephone directory listing with that number is not possible if Skype is the service provider?
Thanks for your help.
   [All business owners thinking of using Skype Numbers, please watch out for the reply. This could influence your decision to use Skype or some other VOIP/SIP service provider.]

Skype Number Already In Use By Someone Else

I have just bought a Skype number and when my contacts ring it, it is answered by another company. I have just had a conversation with this company and they are a legitimate business and "my" skype number is their legitimate phone number. How can I cancel my Skype number?

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.

My Skype number already being used.

I purchased a Skype number in New Zealand and rang it - it is used by a business. What do I do.

Skype number listed as spam...is it compromised?

When calling someone my number shows my phone number as a spam number.A google search also identifies the number as Spam.I'm afraid the number has been compromised. Is there a way to change the Skype number when calling?

If you are calling a mobile or landline phone, no number (or in some cases a generic number) will be displayed on the other person’s phone unless you set up caller identification (CLI).
Follow https://support.skype.com/faq/FA1248 to see if CLI is correctly set up or supported in the country you are calling.
Even when CLI is set up correcly there might be telecommunications providers that do not support this feature.
