New Skype Number 'Pending' for days

Hi all, 
I'm based in the UK but have recently purchased a USA Skype Number.
Despite having already been charged for the new (USA) Skype Number, it's been sat in 'pending' status for about 5 days.
Any suggestions? Skype customers support is non-existent hence the post here.
Cheers.
Martin

To add to the above, the 'status' of this transaction does say 'created' but still I'm unable to either see the telephone number in my account or use it.
Cheers,
Martin

  • New Skype number payment pending

    I want to finalize my new Skype number. At point of payment I was asked to verify payment then next screen was an error message. Payment has been pending for 48hrs. I doubt this payment will finalize as the verify process didn't complete. i want my new number ASAP. Can I cancel pending payment and retry. I'm in a hurry as going overseas. Thanks
    Solved!

    Hi, patmills123, and welcome to the Community,
    Once more, as noted above: Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Additional notes since posting the above information: Skype is aware of continued and sporadic 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 - most importantly - 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 impede reaching an agent.

    Hi, Skypephone1, and welcome to the Community,
    Please contact Skype customer service to report this problem and to request that the number be tested.  You can then request a refund  for the number, and start a new Skype Number  subscription.

  • Renewing Skype number pending since November

    I tried to renew my Skype number back in November and it still shows "pending". My skype number is not working and I need to keep that number. Suggestions?

    Hi, Skypephone, and welcome to the Community,
    Please do contact customer service soonest to resolve this!  I would also recommend checking with PayPal and whatever payment method you use to fund your PayPal account to ensure there are no problems with either.

    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, Seacrest, and welcome to the Community,
    You will need to contact Skype customer service to sort this.   Here is another link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you intend to contact Customer Service, skip 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 "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

  • Setting up new Skype number - area code missing fr...

    Hi.  Wanted to set up a Skype number with the area code, 316, from my hometown of Wichita, Kansas.  And, but, that area code doesn't appear on the pulldown menu.  Any help?  Have a feeling I'm being dumb and missing something obvious, but that's the trouble with being dumb -- the obvious isn't.
    Thanks all.

    Hi, Bsieverts, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, if Skype cannot obtain blocks of numbers from the telephone service providers, then that is how there can be holes in the lists of available numbers.  There can be several legitimate reasons why this occurs.  As Joanna noted, above, we need to check back on occasion.

  • Skype Number setup for USA loading blank Area Code...

    Is there a glitch with Skype Number set up for the USA? I am trying to get a Skype Number and when I get to the "Select State" and enter "California", no Area code options come up (it is blank) so I cannot continue.

    Hi, GRP.Roofing, and welcome to the Community,
    Skype does its best to obtain a wide range of numbers, however in some cases numbers are not available everywhere.  Whatever numbers appear on the list of choices are all that we have available to us.  In other words, you could contact Skype Customer Service to request a specific area code to be added, however it could take weeks or months to appear on the list -- if available at all.
    Hope this answers your question!
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • New Skype Number

    I just purchased a skype account/number. While I'm able to call out I'm unable to receive any calls. Any idea how long it takes after a purchase to be able to receive calls?
    Thank you,

    Hi, Simcha, and welcome to the Community!
    Your Skype Number should be available to receive calls almost immediately.  Please contact Skype Customer Service directly to sort this.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

  • Does my new skype number work on my android mobile?

    I guess Skype's description of Skype number is confusing. I have Skype on my android phone. I suppose it always on in the background (yes? no?). I just bought a Skype number. So, am I correct in understanding that if someone calls that Skype number, it will ring on my mobile? If I am NOT correct, how do I get that to happen. I don't hang around my computer most of the day. I am out and about with the mobile. And normally Skype is not open on my computer unless I expect to get or make a call.

    Nevermind. I now know it should work but it doesn't.  The problem is that skype number is not working on my samsung galaxy s4 with android 5.01. Any ideas on how to get it working? Otherwise, I've wasted $60.

  • Re: How much does a skype number cost for 1 year s...

    This is bad. I will not renew my subscribtion after 2 years just because I dont know how much I will be paying. If its $60 then its too much anyways.

  • Skype number advantageous for customers?

    I work for a company based in Belgium.
    We are thinking about getting skype numbers. 
    But my question is, in what way can this be advantageous for our customers?
    We have customers all over the world, do we need a skype number for (every area in ) each country to make sure they can call us at a low rate?
    Any other suggestions/solutions?
    Thank you!

    up to 10 Skype Numbers can be associated with a single Skype account
    the only way to receive calls from the regular phone network to Skype is via a Skype Number
    a call to a Skype Number will ring the Skype Name associated with that number, regardless of where in the world that Skype Name is signed in
    the whole idea of a Skype Number is to provide a regular phone number that will be cheap (ideally free) for the people you expect calls from
    Regards,
    Neil

  • New Skype Number Not Work

    I just bought a local US number to use it in China.  When my friends try to call my skype number from their US phones, it showed "user busy" and got disconnected immediately.  The call was never connected at all.  I wonder if there is anything wrong.  How can I fix this problem?  Thanks.

  • Several payments for Skype number pending

    After buying an annual subscription for the US with PayPal I wanted to also buy a number. That failed several times for no reason. I switched to Visa and finally MasterCard. That is still pending after a day! However the payment does show in the sections for limits! How can that be and why do I not get access to my number then? Support, please look into this as I need the number up and running.
    Thanks

  • Trying to get a new skype number

    but no area codes come up so I can't proceed - HELP

    Hi, VLinVA, and welcome to the Community,
    Two things could be occurring here:
    If you are experiencing website issues, try accessing the Skype website using a different web browser than you typically use.
    If you are successfully working your way through the order process, and are not finding the area code you prefer, this is due to numbers not being available for any number of reasons out of Skype's control.  Skype Numbers are indeed not available everywhere.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    If you proceed to contact Customer Service, skip 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 "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page).

  • New Skype 5.0 for iOS is a piece of crap - please ...

    I mean, I’d love to know - was there a meeting and someone said, “Yeah - let’s axe the ability to let people delete their old messages and calls!” And: “I have an idea guys! Let’s stop our paying user base from being able to send SMS messages!”
    And some guy up front shouts out, “Wait! Guys - let’s also remove voicemail and the ability to send and receive photos!” And the next guy shouts “Wait - guys, we should also stop the ability for our users to view each other’s profiles!” Real geniuses.
    What a bunch of clowns!
    Can't delete recents. Also cannot send SMS messages. Clearly half-baked and removing features with each subsequent release. The developers either overlooked these OBVIOUS omissions or were completely negligent and should be ashamed of themselves. Pathetic. Tango here I come!
    If I were a Skype executive, I’d be fixing these omissions STAT and apologizing.

    This issue is ALL over the web, the mind boggling stupidity of the people who released this pile of dog-eggs is difficult to comprehend.
    If at any time this is corrected... fully and humbly corrected, with all prior functionality AND features restored, with the hopeless tarting up removed (just make it work, that's enough) then, maybe then, I will consider using this.
