My Skype number is not ringing

My skype number is not ringing or answering when it called
it worked great for a few weeks

We need more information. Do you have a subscription that covers mobiles such as a US subscription? If not you will need skype credit to forward to your mobile. Have you set your privacy settings to allow anyone to call. Like 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.
I hope this sloves the problem.

  • 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.

  • Incoming skype calls are not ringing on my iphone

    incoming skype calls are not ringing on my iphone.  It used to work but now doesn't. I can't find anywhere in the settings to fix this.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ever since iOS5 the ringer and display does not work. No notifications.
    I live in a gated community and the gate is assigned to my Skype number. I also have clients who call me and they aren't getting through.
    If I have to purchase a land line, I will sue in small claims for the cost of the service and loss of service.
    Do not waste anyone's time with cookie-cutter answers.
    My Skype isn't ringing nor shows up on the screen ever since iOS5. You should have been working on this with the developer packs.
    I've deleted and reinstalled 3x. It is running. Volume is correct.
    This is outrageous as I pay for Skype and am thinking of canceling and demanding a full refund.
    You are pushing things towards class litigation here in the US. There is no excuse.
    Microsoft now owns Skype. They are a US corporation and are liable.
    iPhone4
    iOS5
    Skype 3.5.117(3.5.0.117)
    Notifications: Sound ON Alerts ON
    Volume is at 100%
    Ringer is at 100%

  • Skype number unreliable / not working?

    I am using Skype on a Galaxy S3.
    Ever since I signed up for a Skype number I have had people emailing me saying that they were unable to contact me on the Skype number that I gave them. This has become more frequent just recently and I have missed some important calls.
    When I call my Skype number from a landline it's a bit hit and miss if a connection is made.... sometimes I get "number not recognised" response from the landline. People who have attempted to call me report similar isssue or sometimes that the number is continually busy and does not go to voicemail.
    I called skype support yesterday via Live Chat and was talking to the support guy for 1h 20min and achieved nothing.... he blamed it on everything from my phone provider, internet provider, that my email account was overloaded etc etc ... I think the guy must have bored and was having a joke with me..... that or he was a complete and total utter ####### idiot.
    I have attached a screen shot showing settings on my Skype account page.
    Currently (23 Jan) my Skype number is not working at all... when I attempt to call from landline I
    get the message "the numebr that you have dialled has not been recognised"
    Anyone else having reliability issues with a Skype number? Unless I get the issue resolved I will be cancelling account as it is worthless to me in it's current working state.
    One more question.... I managed it yesterday, but cannot find it tooday, but how **bleep** do you get to the link for Live Chat.... all i do is get directed to send email???

    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype 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 (or offered only the Community as a contact method), please try again using a different web browser and - 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 the browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.

    I really haven't needed it so I have not tried it in months.  But, I tried to add this number to my paypal account and found it wasn't working.  Then I tried to call it.  No sounds at all.  No ringing, no busy signal - nothing.
    I will not post my number here as you should be able to see my number from my account.
    Please fix asap.
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • My Skype number is not working

    I have purchased a Skype number. I am travellling and I am out of the country but I cannot seem to make my Skype number work. It is a New York City number but when someone calls it nothing happens. I paid for it for three months! It shows up in my Skype profile!  What am I doing wrong?

  • My skype number does not work anymore

    First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this. Thanks!

    Hi, Madison2312, and welcome to the Community,
    We here in the Community do not have the tools to diagnose and resolve what has failed with your Skype Number.  However, Skype Customer Service does.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    A few extra notes on contacting Customer Service...
    You will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue 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 blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
    If you are a Skype Premium or other eligible customer, you will be routed to start an instant message chat session with a Customer Service agent.
