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.

HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

HT1311 My phone number shows a different number in the contacts page instead of mine,how do I change it?

My phone number shows a different number in the contacts my number section. How do I change it as I cannot even load airtime

You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
You should obviously have different passwords.

HT204053 the wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad

The wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad when I put in my apple id. I have got to my apple.com and changed my phone number and it still won't change. I have even reset my iPad to correct it and didn't work. UGH! Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you referring to messaging, it sounds as though you are sharing your ID with others.

My phone number shows as unknown in the phone settings

Newly unlocked Rogers iphone 3G now my new provider name appears, i can call, but nobody can call me---my phone number shows as unknown in the phone settings---i have restored to factory settings twice---phone tells me it's unlocked---whats wrong?

Falktr,
That's definitely odd but I understand how frustrating this is, we definitely want to assist you. Is this a Verizon Wireless iPhone? If not, you may experience problems such as this. If it is, please reset the network settings http://vz.to/Q7XEOV. If that doesn't work, please follow these steps http://bit.ly/19vT5qz .

Not all of Skype's Online Numbers can be used as Caller ID, appearing on the displays of phones you call from Skype. Online Numbers from a few countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US) can be used this way, where the others are not permitted to be used in this way. If your Online Number is not from one of the countries I listed above, then the only option would be to use the two-step verification process so that a mobile number (or a landline number that can receive SMS messages) is your Caller ID number when calling from Skype.

What is my Skype phone number?

How do I find out my skype phone number I dont know it

Hi, john.bell980, and welcome to the Community,
Sign on to your Skype account dashboard where you manage your payment methods and subscriptions. You should see a tile that says Skype Number; if you click on that icon/box/tile, your number will be shown.

My skype phone number

I just set up a new skype account and not clear what my phone number is for this account. The account number listed is [removed for privacy]. I want to be able to provide this number to my friends.

It should be accessible from your Skype program or app. Otherwise, log into your account on the Skype web site using the "Account" link at the top of this page. Then click on Online Number, and you will see a list of Online Numbers on your Skype account.

Skype phone number just purchased does not "ring" ...

Bought a skype phone number so I can receive calls thru skype. Just "blinks" that it's an incoming call but no ringtone. where can I go to fix this?

Hi, Michele1984, and welcome to the Community!
Just out of curiosity, is it only your Skype Number that does not have the classic Skype incoming call ring tone, or all calls? The first place I would check (I am a Windows 7 user) is where I have my audio settings for "ringing" set. I would also check in the Sounds settings under "which events play a sound."

Skype phone number for my business as an expatriate

Hello everyone, I am looking to use skype for my business, more exactly, I am an expatriate and I need to buy/use a skype phone number that has the same format as local numbers have in my homeland. Before I invest in one of those numbers, what I would like to know - for sure - is: 1 - Are skype numbers like any other landline numbers, meaning is there any way a client finds out the number he/she is calling is not a genuine/regular landline number? 2 - If the client is let's say in Canada, my skype number looks like a local French landline (eg: 0141315184) number, and my computer is in Zimbabwe, will the client pay more than if the computer was in France?. 3 - If the client again calls from Canada, dialing my skype number will be as for regular landlines right? eg: +33[removed for privacy] Thank you in advance for support.

Receiving sms to skype phone number

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to receive SMS texts to your skype phone number? I have a phone number associated with my skype account and would like to send as well as receive to this number.

This does not work for me.
I am on Skype 5.7.0.1130 for the Mac.
In the Skypereferences . . . :Messaging windoid.
I click on the "Set Number..." dropdown menu and type in my mobile phone number. I keep getting the message that "Error on sending code to mobile phone" etc.
Now -- perhaps this is my issue, I have a brand new Skype mobile phone number for Germany. So new that I just got it two days ago. I was expecting to be able to send and receive text messages on this -- primarily from my bank and places like that which send you secret codes to your SMS when you are trying to log in. Does this work? Can it work? Why is it so hard to actually talk to a Skype Customer Support person??

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
