Not getting calls on iPhone 6+ with IOS 8.3

I purchased a Skype phone number so that I could redirect my local phone number to it and therefore receive my phone calls on Skype while travelling overseas.
It works if I have Skype open on my iPhone 6+ when the call comes in, but if Skype is closed then I get nothing. I have "Background App Refresh" turned on for Skype in my General settings and my Skype app is up to date.
This is pretty useless! Does anyone have a solution?
Alternatively, is there another app like Skype that can receive redirected calls?

I just tried something and it did work on my iPhone6 but on my iPhone 5c it works only sometimes. I opened Skype and if there was a missed call or anything I clicked on it and then closed Skype. Then I went to iPhone settings and turned off notifications for Skype, closed it, opened it again and turned notifications on again. Also I turned on Alerts when locked, not banners. Then I closed it and opened Skype, locked my phone and tried to call my Skype number with another phone and it worked. Hope it will work for you as well!

  • Not getting email alerts- iPhone 4 with latest IOS 6 and Yahoo

    I noticed recently that I have not been getting email alerts when I receive emails on my iphone/iPad.  I have a yahoo account.  I checked the settings.  The notification shows that alerts for mail are on.  Push is on as well.  I am wondering if there is a server issue with Yahoo?
    The only time I know if I have new emails is if I go into the app itself.  But the app icon will not show me alerts.  I tried deleting the account and reinstalling it. No luck..... Any ideas?

    Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

  • Why photo stream is not working in my iPhone 4s with ios 6?

    Since i update my iphone 4s to ios6, the photo stream function does not work.
    After the ios 6 upgrade i checked that my photo stream photos, where there both in iphone and imac (i used iphoto, now i am using aperture..see comment below). Yesterday i delete the pictures from my photo stream and i tried to take new pictures to upload but all my attempts were failing.
    Specifically, I have full battery and i am connected to wi-fi. I have the photo stream function "on", in the icloud settings, and i take a picture with my camera. I close the camera application and i go to the photo application to see this picture in "my photo stream". There is no picture there.
    I have tried several things either from apple's trouble shooting guides or from several related discussions in forums, like opening and closing photo stream in iphone and imac. I reset photo stream from icloud and i even delete and recreate my icloud account. I closed the photo stream function both in my imac and iphone and i restarted them, but again no result. I hard reset the iphone and re-open photo stream
    I have checked that i use the same icloud account and it is correct.
    Another tip is that i recently upgrade Aperture to 3.4 in order to support photo stream. Since then i was using iphoto. The strange thing, is that after the upgrade, i lost the photo stream function in iphoto and i have it only in Aperture. In Aperture, I was able to see the photos i had photo streamed before the upgrade to ios 6
    Furthermore, i tried to make a share photo stream and i shared a picture with my email address. I went to aperture where i can see the new shared photo stream folder but is is empty. In my iphone, i find the shared folder with the picture. 
    I really dont know what else to do because i have tried anything possible and i have search the whole web for a solution
    Please help
    thanks!

    The current version of the Facebook app requires iOS 4.3 or later, as do many current or recent apps. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.

  • My Google Calendar will not show up on iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. What do?

    I just got an iPhone 4S (bougtt used through a third party, in case it may make a difference) and I'm having issues connecting Google's calendar.
    I've followed instructions here: http://michaelhyatt.com/how-to-setup-google-calendar-on-your-iphone-4.html;
    here: http://www.craigbailey.net/google-calendars-not-showing-in-ios7/
    and of course, here: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/139206?hl=en
    But so far, nothing has worked.
    I should note that I can see the account itself under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars tab, the Calendars option is switched on and all other Google features (e.g. Gmail, notes and contacts) are operating fine. I also have an iPad mini which I bought in June 2013 (first hand) and has been displaying Google Calendar without any issues from Day 1. I've compared the settings on both devices and could not find any difference.
    In short, I'm at a complete loss here and would greatly appreciate some help.

    Same issue when I try to select the most recently taken photo thumbnail, bottom left: freezes.Problem is fairly recent, I don't think it ever happened before the last update.

  • I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2  I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

    I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2  I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?
    I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

    generally you need 1.90gb
    what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

    Try

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

  • On iPhone 4s with IOS 7 - call controls seem to get locked

    On iPhone 4s with IOS 7 my call controls seem to get locked when on a call - due to which I will have to unlock my phone everytime I have to disconnect a call or to place on mute / speaker etc.
    Has anyone run into this issue?

    ciao
    io ho RISOLTO!
    allora ecco come ho fatto:
    ho collegato il cell al pc e ho fatto un backup completo su itunes, poi ho scollegato il cell e ho fatto un "cancella contenuto e impostazioni" successivamente ho seguito le istruzioni di inizializzazione come fosse un nuovo iphone, inifine ho collegato il cell al pc e ho eseguito il ripristino delle app.
    e finalmente tutto si è normalizzato, speriamo definitavamente.
    auguri di buon anno

  • Iphone 4s with ios 8.1.1, imessage gets slower than ever, sometimes even deliver after 10 min, was not like this with the previous ios, how can I improve imessage sending time?

    Hi there skmonirul,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I gather, iMessages are taking longer than expected to send on your iPhone 4s. If you aren’t seeing issues with other apps, try restarting your iPhone as shown here: 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the issue persists, try restoring your iPhone as shown in the article below.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    So long,
    -Jason

  • My iPhone six with iOS 8.1.1 will not allow me to upload credit card data to Apple pay

    My iPhone six with iOS 8.1.1 will not allow me to add credit card data to Apple pay. It does not recognize my credit card in iTunes. I have I have set location to the United States, and restarted. Still nothing. When I enter the passbook app, hit the plus button, select set up Apple pay, select add new credit card,I get no response when trying to add credit card number expiration date etc., nor does the camera feature work. Bottom line is to date, I cannot add any credit card data at all.

    I am guessing there is something about your situation that occurred outside the U.S.  Perhaps you purchased your iPhone outside the U.S., or live outside the U.S., ...
    At the moment, Apple Pay only works in the U.S.

  • My iphone 5, with iOS 7.0.2, is heating and consuming the battery very fast when 3G is on, even when I'm not using it. Any solution?

    iOS 7 has many multiple tasks. You can save battery life to some extent by few steps. First go to location services and bettr 'Off' them which are not needed. (Ex. Notes.. Reminders.. Etc). Also you can off few apps in 'get notifications' centre. Also usage of 3g by any mobile consumes much battery life. Better to connect any Wi-fi

    do i still can restore to factory setiing i currently use. ?
    please show me how to do it if still posible.
    thx so much

    No, restoring the phone will install the latest iOS version.
    If you go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, the phone will revert to its fresh out of the box state, but iOS will not be reloaded - you'll still have iOS 6. See if the problem is fixed, and if it is, load your data back manually.
