Online Number always busy? And is NOT

I'd bought an online number. I've been testing it calling from another number, and it gives me BUSY sound while it is not busy, and on another moment it gives me the message "the person you are trying to reach is unavailable right now........ " and again THAT is NOT TRUE. I am there!.
Why? and where is the skype technical area to get a proper answer and a solution to this problem?

Busy signal means your call preferences are set to receive calls only from online contacts. Problem for me os on MY side it says set to receive calls from everyone bit on THEIR side it says contacts only. And no one there is allowed to change it :/

Online Number Always busy

Hi,
I have setup an online Number in Geneva, Switzerland last week. After setting it up, I have tried to test it by calling it but its always busy. I wonder if there is an activation period for such numbers. If this is so, can any body tell me how long it takes for online numbers to become active?
Kind Regards.
Omer

Hello Omer and welcome to the Skype Community Forum
Your Online # should become active within a few minutes of purchase. If it didn't please
first check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.

Hello,
1. Legal requirements imposed by the CRTC prevent Canadian Skype Numbers being offered. This may assist: http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-Number/Canada-and-other-countries-Online-Number-alternative/m-p/...
2. Participation in the Skype Number program requires local telecom carriers to guarantee a supply of available numbers. At present the Thai carriers are unable to meet that requirement.

I can call my ipad with my iphone alll the time. That's how I check up on my kids at home when I"m at work. You just set up to your iphone's facetime setting with your phone number and set up your ipad's facetime settings with your apple id (in this case it's your email)

Purchased Online number days ago and still nothing...

Hello,
We are rather dissatisfied with your service. We purchased an online number from you days ago and the status still says processing. Our credit card company reported that the 60 dollar payment cleared yet we recieved nothing in return.
What exactly is going on here? I'd sure like an explanation as to why the product I purchased has not been delivered after you took my money. And what of the 50% discount for having a skype phone subscription? Will 30 dollars be returned to my account for this?

Can I get an update on the status of my Online Number purchase please? If not, I'll be forced to cancel all services and demand a full refund.
Thank you.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Change online number for business

Hi,
I've used Skype for many years now and have had a personal account for it. When I started my own business I associated a Skype Online Number as by business number to my account. Now the business has grown from 1 to 10 people and although I've created all their accounts, my business nr is still associated with my personal account.
This is an issue cause I don't want to receive business calls in my personal time and vice-versa. I've read in a post that Skype cannot move online numbers, but I find this a ridiculous statement.
I don't want to reprint business cards and letterheads or change websites for something that is number portabilitity inside the same operator (which telecoms do for over 20 years).
Can Skype provide a solution? If not then Skype is clearly not a business product.
Thanks,
Luís

How is it all th other European community members have Skype numbers and yet Espana does not? There aren't any regulations because Europe assures us of interoperability of regulations. This must be down to 'the arrogance of' the individual telco operators in Spain. Incidentally these companies are basically BT (UK) and Vodafone (UK).
Come on public how long are we going to put up with being continually ripped off by 'these money grabbing Corporate CEO sociopaths'? They won't change their behaviour unless their 'greed' is exposed at which point competition drives them to change. In this case it looks like a classic case of 'a dark conspiracy to maintain exclusion of' cheaper telephone calls.
Has nobody noticed how Spanish connections via Skype are almost impossible at certain times of the year or certain times of day? The data channels are controlled and Skype traffic is restricted by the same companies who own the network infrastructure. Gone is the apparent principle of democratic free access to the internet.
The usual response to high data demands is to build extra capacity. In this case the response is to keep the limited capacity and argue that traffic throttling is a necessity. Spain suffers from restricted data capacity which in turn impacts Espana's economic growth. Everyday individuals running startup businesses suffer difficulties that do not exist in other European countries.
This is because of the satyrical greed of a select group of telephone companies? Well it is a question, one that everybody should start to ask. Why? ...and why no Skype numbers for Spain?

Online number is busy when called

I signed up for a new online number today. Paid for 12 months. It works for outgoing cals, but when you call the number it's always busy.
I even tried to activate call-forwarding, but when called the number is busy.
Any ideas?

So do I have such a problem. very frustrated

Calling Online number with Mac and iPhone running ...

I'm running V5.3.0.1093 on OSx Lion, I have the latest version running on my iPhone4, when I call my online number from a landline both the Mac and iPhone ring, if I answer the call on my Mac the iPhone continues to ring until the end of the call.
This only happens when the Skype app is running in the background on the iPhone, I also get a missed called notification on the iPhone. The is very annoying as I can't mute the ring or adjust the volume, the mute button and volume control on the phone is rendered useless!!
Thanks.

My response might not make you very happy but it is what it is, firstly the call forwarding works by your skype phone calling you and directing the call. Meaning you are getting a call from skype not the original phone meaning you cannot get caller ID. Second Your skype VM only works when the call is unanswered and if your mobiles VM answers it is not unanswered. It is approximately the same effect though except mobile VM costs money and skypes does not.

Online Number Subscription Extension and 50% Disco...

I currently have a UK online number. It will expire in Oct 2012. I noticed in my account that if I am on a subscription to call a landline or mobile phone in the UK, I am entitled to get 50% on an online number. Assuming if I were to extend my 1 year online number subscription, do I still get the 50% discount or it is for a new online number?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Basically as long as you have an active subscription on your account you will get a discount on Online Number purchase. It doesn't matter if you purchase a new number or extend your old number.
I was checking your account and I can see that you purchased Online Number just recently, if you wish you might be able to get a refund on Online Number order and purchase the same number again with a discount since right now you have a subscription.
Refund requests can be done as shown here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/How-do-I-request-a-refund
