Hi there my old skype number has ran out. Would it be possible to get it back or would it have been given to someone else now?
Many thanks!

You would have to go through the process to purchase the number, then search for it after you select the country and area code it was in.  If you do not find that number, it has been resold to another Skype user or is unavailable to anyone for use as an Online Number.

  • Retrieving Old Skype Number

    Hello
    I have been trying to raise my concern via the skype chat but it seems its not working. But basically here is my concern. 
    I got a skype number a few months ago, About 1month ago, i could not continue with the payments. so now the skype number doesnt go through. I would like to know how to reconnect my skype number. is there a link where i make payment and continue with the use of my old skype number. 
    Thank you

    Hi, Welcome2Africa, and welcome to the Skype Community,
    You should be able to sign on to your account dashboard and reactivate your Skype Number.  The number will be held on your account for ninety (90) days following the Skype Number subscription's expiration,  so you have opportunity to sign on and renew the subscription.
    Remember that the payment method you wish to use is accurate and up-to-date.  If you used Skype credit, be sure there is enough credit on account to cover the cost of the renewal. 
    Regards,
    Elaine

    ATTN NEED TO RECOVER OLD SKYPE NUMBER Hello there...... I had a subscription and a skype number assigned. I let the number lapse and just realized it. I need to recover that phone number. I call it and it says it is out of service yet I cannot select it as a new number and I see no way to recover my old number within my account settings etc. Please advise and have a great day!!!

    Hi, Loppies, and welcome to the Community,
    Your Skype Number should have been held in reserve for you to renew for a period of 90 days following the subscription end.  Beyond that timeframe, the number is released/recycled back into the system.
    Skype Customer Service may be able to provide more detailed information.  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 wish to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request. 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!

  • Canceling old Skype number

    I just added a new Skype number for Wisconsin, and now I wish to cancel my old Skype number with a Cincinnati area code. How do I do that? I followed the instructions, but there is no "cancel Skype number" option under my old Cincinnati Skype number. I tried finding a phone number for Skype so that I could get a live voice to help me, but never found this. How can I cancel the old Skype number?

  • Reactivating old Skype number?

    I had a Skype number a few years ago. Was thinking of reactivating my account, and was wondering of I could use the same number (or do I have to get a new one)?
    Thanks in advance.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi Dave,
    It works this day- after the number expires it is reserved for the same account for another 90 days.
    After that it comes back to the general pool and can be purchased by anyone.
    Unfortunately you old Skype Numbers belong to someone else already

  • Old Skype Number that I do not want keeps getting ...

    I had a skype number that expired almost a year ago, but I keep getting autobilled for it.  Fortunately I did not have sufficient funds in my pay pal account.  How do I deactivate this?  I want to get a new number - but not until I can resolve this.  Please help!

    Hi, Eastriver,
    Thank you for your further explanation.  The fact that you do not see the Skype Number subscription on your Skype account details and purchase history is mystifying; please contact Skype customer service to sort this.
    The process ought to be as simple as cancelling a subscription:

  • Old Skype-To-Go/Skype Access number

    I have an old Skype-To-Go number/Skype Access number from the time when you pressed one to call one of your predefined contacts or 2 to enter a number to call. This is pretty useful for me as I call alot abroad from my cellphone.
    But I want to change my predefined contacts. How can I do that?

    SkypeToGo is for making calls whereas an Online # is for receiving calls.

    Hi 
    I just signed up for a Skype number (which shows as active in my account), however, when finishing up the sign up for it and I completed the payment, I noticed it was going to send a confirmation email to my old email address which does not exist anymore.  How do I resend this email to my new (updated) email - I already changed it so the new email is my primary email address.??????

    Hello Haley,
    I found this thread that sounds similar to your problem, if you want to take a look. https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1625507?q=premiere%20pro%20redemption

  • Using my old 3 mobile number as a skype number.

    I would like to use my old mobile number as my skype contact number. Is this possible via transfering the number from 3 to skype ? Theywere the last provider to use it but it may have been transfered from optus to 3 many years ago. I don't have an account with 3 anymore and not sure of the status of my old mobile number. Thanks for any assistance on this question.

    You wouldn't be able to transfer that mobile number to Skype.  You could purchase an Online Number from Skype. Click on "Online Number" below for more details.
    Since you mentioned Optus, are you in Australia?  If so, Skype has Online Numbers in Canberra, all mainland state capitals, plus other areas in the eastern states (Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland) outside the state capitals.  No numbers are available in Tasmania or the Northern Territory.  These numbers would be landline numbers.  I have a Melbourne number (03 9xxx xxxx), along with numbers in 3 other places. 
    Hope that helps!

  • Can I use old landline number

    Maybe some can help me.
    I live with my parents in Waterford, Ireland. The local area code is 051, and I have a choice of new numbers that can receive calls. Is it possible to use our old landline number, as people may need to contact us. We are anxious to get rid of our landline, as the line rental has become too expensive.

    Hi, Ege4That, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, not.  Skype does not "port in" other carriers' numbers.

  • Editing old skype to go contacts

    Is it still possible to edit old skype to go contacts you used to be able to go to this link
    https://secure.skype.com/account/skype-to-go/speed-dial-contacts
    and change your speed dial contacts now that link doesn't work and when you go to old skype to go number it says skype to go settings shows some speed dial contacts on mine it shows 5 out of the 9 that i actually have and those 5 aren't in the same place as when i phone the skype to go number. I don't see where to edit them there like there used to be. on the bottom of the page it says When you add or edit your contacts on the main page, we’ll automatically update your speed dials. If i already have 9 speed dial contacts how can i add contacts?

    If you let me have one of the #s you can do without for a short period I'll arrange for it to be deleted so you can add a new one. It can be added back at ant time.

  • Transfer my old phone number (from Vonage) to my n...

    Disgruntled with the sound quality of Vonage, I revitalized my old Skype account and set it up with a FreeTalk (which, by the way, works great straight out of the box).
    My old phone number is still with Vonage collecting dust, but it it the one listed in all kinds of phone books and friends telephone notepads, so it would have value to me if I can retrieve this and link to my Freetalk account.
    Problem:  Vonage does not list a phone number where I can talk to someone to get my old number back (which they retrieved from Verizon).  Skype does not list a phone number to  assist me in this.  Go figure, the people who make money on selling phone talk don't want to talk over the phone themselves.
    Does anybody have suggestions on how to handle this?

    Hi, dandurham, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, I have sad news: as Skype does not support number portability, this is not possible.
    Kind regards,
