Numbers on the internet translated in Skype Number...

Everywhere on the internet, in my e-mail inbox, in my backaccount, I see normal numbers translated in Skype Numbers with blue letters and a Skype logo. Even if I Google something and it says "there are xxx results" -> if the number is big enough, it will turn in blue letters like if I could call it via Skype.
It's getting pretty annoying.
Does anyone know, how to turn this off?

Hi, mootje_d_b, and welcome to the Community,
Please check the Skype software advanced settings in whatever version of the Skype software you are using so that the Use Skype to call to links on the web and Use Skype to call tel: links on the web are not checked.  Remember to Save any changes you make to these settings.
Please check also that Skype Click-to-Call is not enabled in your browser.  You may either remove the app from your laptop or computer's software list, or disable the Click-to-Call browser plug-in in your browser's plug-in settings.
Regards,
Elaine

  • Where is the link to extend Skype Number subscript...

    Have you guys figured out where Skype hides the link to extend our subscriptions for fixed phone numbers?
    I've been searching the message boards for about an hour now and all I can find are hundreds of other angry people trying to find the same answer.
    What's the point in emailing me to renew my annual phone number subscription if Skype won't even provide a working link or instructions to do it?    The only thing the email managed to do was remind me that it's time to deal with this --- again and put me in a bad mood again.
    Does MagicJack hate their customers as much as Skype does?   If not I'm outta here!

  • I am having a DNS problem with my computer. My laptop connects to the internet and my skype works normally but when i try to surf the web it says "DNS Look up failed".

    MY PROBLEM
    I am having a DNS problem with my laptop. It connects normally to th e wifi internet but when i try to surf the net it says "DNS Look up failed"
    This problem only occurs when with the internet at my house. whenever i connect elsewhere my computer works normally. My ipod, iphone, tablet and other friends computers work normally when they are connected to my internet. i use dmy neigbours nework a couple of times from my house and it wrks normally.
    Also when i turn my laptop on or off i can browse for a few minutes or seconds before it fails again. My skype works like there is no problem
    WHAT I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE IT
    I have tried changing the DNS, i used open DNS and google free DNS and it still didnt make a difference.
    I have rebooted router many times, nothing
    I have changed my home router, nothing
    I backed up my computer, resored everything it to factory setting and put everything back on; still nothing
    Run a diagnostics at 'Best buy' and they say nothing is wrong; but i know there is something wrong with the DNS
    I have tried different "sudo" type of codes on my comupter from stuff i got online and nothign has proved fruitful yet.
    i tried using safari, Google chrome and firefox, all not loading
    WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS?

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

  • Picked the wrong option on Skype Number

    Hi, 
    I just purchased my Skype Number and I choose the wrong option - the month to month instead of the year one.  How can I upgrade it?

    Hello, it's actually simple fix, easier than you might think. See referencing support article

  • Closing applications that use the internet to improve Skype convo

    When using Skype, there is a horrible lag time and I can only hear the person half of the time. How do I correct this?

    Hello Kerry,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Skype app on your iPad mini.  I recommend the steps in the article below.  You can skip the step to install another app from the App Store and any other steps you have already taken:

  • Can I use a Skype Number to call the USA from Spai...

    Hi, I live in the US and will be calling friends and Family in the US.  BUT I will be calling them from Spain.  Can I use a US Skype #?

    Hi, Grannyrosie, and welcome to the Community,
    Please remember the purpose of a Skype Number is only for people to call you - a Skype Number is a fixed or land line number, and you answer the incoming calls on SKype.  You would need a Skype subscription or Buy Skype credit in order to place calls from Skype to fixed or land line numbers and mobile numbers.

  • Re: Skype number the same as someone else's number...

    I have a similar issue. Someone is calling me relentlessly using my own skype number. I need to keep it open to get business calls, so I can't restrict access. I have the number associated with all my business accounts, and I need to keep it. How can I protect my number? I bought it years ago, the problems have only started since skype's purchase by microsoft.

    Hi, Kimbakar, and welcome to the Community,
    Cancelling a Skype Number subscription is the same as cancelling any subscription: sign on to the Skype website or transfer to your account from your Skype client software, and click on the Manage Subscriptions: Skype Number, and cancel (please see screen shot, below; the "cancel" button is highlighted in orange).  Skype Customer Service can also assist with this.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service

    What people do who need such a scenario is set up a Skype account for each Skype Number, thereby creating the differentiation between each Skype Number.

  • What is a Skype number

    Does a Skype number allow someone to call me from an ordinary phone (mobile or landline)?

    Hi, Mikenz, and welcome to the Community,
    Correct, it does.  That is the purpose of a Skype Number - to allow people to call you using a land line number that you answer on Skype.  More details about Skype Numbers can be found by clicking on either one of the blue links.

  • Skype Number: No area code for Cape Town, South Af...

    On the drop down for skype number area code selection for south africa, Cape Town does not appear, only Joburg, Pretorai and Durban.  
    Cape Town is the 'mother' city - the legislative capital of SouthAfrica.  There should be no pronvicial restrictions like with US states, so why no area code?
    please...

    Hi, Darwal, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, if the particular exchange you wish to have for a Skype Number does not appear on the list, then it is truly not available for any number of legitimate reasons.   Check back periodically to see if the exchange becomes available; Skype does not announce when a fresh batch of Skype Numbers are newly added.

  • Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds

    Incoming calls from telephones to my skype number drop after 3-5 seconds
    I spent a while trying to seriously diagnose this problem with Skype support a year ago, but didn't get anywhere; I came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the network at my end. But it's irritating me again now, so I thought I'd check whether anyone else gets this problem. It's incoming calls only, to the skype number only. I can recieve incoming calls from Skype fine, I can make outgoing calls to Skype and to telephone numbers fine, the problem affects both Skype on my Android Mobile (when it's connected to my home WiFi) and Skype on my Windows Desktop - so, not a software configuration thing.
    When making a test call from my mobile to my Skype In number, it drops at the Skype end several seconds before the mobile notices the line is dead; definitely dropping out at the Skype level, and not the telephone network level. 

    Hi, ScottMaggie, and welcome to the Community,
    I have referred your report to those to whom I report; I am not affiliated with Skype Customer Service.
    What you so well describe here, a number transfer (highlighted by me in orange type) is not something Skype has the facility to do:
    None would agree to moderate between myself and the current number holder to do a transfer. If that person simply gives up the number it would be a 90 day wait with no way to guarantee I'd get the number back. They need to do a transfer as this is the only way to make it work. I have no way to contact them aside from calling the number and leaving voicemails.
    In the system's simplicity, there is no flexibility. 
    Just out of curiosity ... and curiosity alone, have you checked the e-mail address on your account to double-check it is the correct registered e-mail address?  I ask because I recently did a Skype Number renewal, and I received e-mail alerts every step of the way. 
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • German Skype number abroad

    When attempting to sign up for a German phone number Skype tells me that I will have to be a permanent resident in Germany.
    However, services like ToggleMobile and TruPhone do not have such a requirement (presumably because they offer mobile / cell phone numbers rather than geographical ones). Still, it's possible to get a fax or voicemail box there for free with a geographic number, so it seems not all service providers have this requirement or enforce it (if it is really a requirement by law - I believe local legal representation is acceptable).
    How about offering numbers similar to those service providers?
    In this globalized day and age of the Internet, Schengen area and the free trade agreement that's being negotiated between the EU and the US it seems rather odd to still have such 19th century restrictions imposed on us.

    Hi, Moneill, and welcome to the Community,
    Skype Numbers are available only insasmuch as the fixed line carriers provide numbers for Skype to use.  If numbers are available for the specific region you wish to locate your Skype Number, great!  If not, then we have to choose from the list of numbers provided to us when we set up a Skype Number subscription.
    As far as the activation of your Skype Number is concerned, please contact Skype customer service

  • I dont know what my skype number is

    Can anyone tell me where i find what my skype number is? i didnt write it down and cant seem to find it listed anywhere

    Hi, Nicollet2s, and welcome to the Community!
    Your Skype Number appears in your account details, where you manage payment methods as well as subscriptions and credit purchases.  When you sign on to the Skype website, click on the Manage Features link, or the Skype Number block (the new website configuration for our accounts looks a lot like the Windows 8 "tiles").
    If all else fails, you may contact Skype Customer Service.  Here is a 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.

  • My Skype number is still not working please check

    Wajid.zareen2

    One possible reason why Skype Number does not work is "it already expired". Skype always send email notification on the primary email address of the account about the order confirmation, status of your account/subscription.
    I would suggest that you do the following to see the status of your Skype Number:
    1. Check the inbox of your primary email address on the account. Skype may have sent you an email notification about the status of your Skype Number.
    2. Log in to your account and see if the order for your Skype Number renewal has been delivered. When youlog in to your account in the website, go to Billing and Payments then click on Purchase History. You will see the status of your Online Number renewal, if you dont see the order as Delivered, that means the payment for your Skype Number was not successful.
    If you have any other concerns and questions about your Skype Number, I would suggest that you contact Skype Live Support for real time assistance:
    Skype Live Support Link:
    https://support.skype.com/support_selection  
    Here's how to get to Skype Live Support:
    1. Sign in to your account using that link.
    2. Choose Calling in Choose a help topic, then Online Numbers(SkypeIn) in Choose a related problem. The click on Next.
    3. Click on Text Chat Support
    4. Finally, click on Start
    After following the steps, you should be connected to a Live Chat Support Specialist in no time.
