Online Number Area Code request

Hi,
Would it be possible to be able to have Swansea (01792) included under UK category?
The nearest STD at the minute is Cardiff

The demand for a Swansea number is here.. Was considering using Skype as a telecom provider, realised they didn't have Swansea... Seen plenty of requests for 01792 -- maybe Skype should stick at their Championship level service then?

Online Number "Area Code/Local Area" Selection DOE...

Someone else already posted this earlier, but im having the same problem. I am trying to get an online skype number (NOT THE "TO GO" NUMBER) in the United States and I am able to set the country and state selections, but when asked to set the area code/local area (step 2 on the page) there is a blank field and the drop down box to select the area code is also blank. Reloading the page (numerous times) doesn't fix the entry, and this is apparently the same problem for each state selection, so
I have included the URL where the process starts:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/online-number/
and the URL for where the error is occuring on the US section:
https://secure.skype.com/skypein/number?vc=&country_code=US&voucher=
It still works for all of the other countries and for the "Skype To Go Numbers," but for some reason not the same with the "online skype numbers" where people can reach you in the United States section and when i type in a number on the local number box i get the area code of the smallest number within the same area of the state on the payment page no matter what combination. Like for Texas i'll get a 210 area code number (San Antonio,TX); For California i'll get a 209 area code number (Modesto,CA); For Florida i'll get a 239 area code number (Naples, FL); For Georgia i'll get a 229 area code number (Albany, GA) and so on. But the bottom line is that due to this error there you only have one area code choice for each state, which more than likely in a remore area of the state. If it could be changed to where we type in the area code and number i would greatly appreciate it and purchase a number. Trying to get past this entry for a week or two now and having no luck. I tried to enter a number in the field, which which it doesn't allow me to do. If anyone can help in fixing this problem, i would greatly appreciate it and start getting new numbers. But i'm not looking to just get a remote area code within a state.

Dear Readers,
My experience is similar; in my region, I had to choose a number from a nearby township; numbers in my locale were simply not available. As I understand it, Skype obtains numbers from local telephone companies; numbers are not available everywhere.
From this information: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA256/how-do-i-set-up-my-skype-number
When you purchase a Skype Number, you will need to choose one from our pre-selected range. However, you can choose your favorite number from that range. You can search for your preferred number using the Enter your favorite combination search box, or by clicking Show ten new suggestions… to scroll through the available options.

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.
Regards,
Elaine

Hi, Grapat, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, Skype Numbers are not available for all exchanges, area codes, or even all states in the USA and all countries. We need to choose a Skype Number based upon what is listed at the time we are searching, or check back regularly to see if a particular exchange has been added to the list.

Elaine

I need a local # with area code 813 for tampa, FL us and I can get nothing. There is nothing that shows up in the drop down bar and no #s available. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Nope, not working for me in Minnesota. Nothing populates in the list of area codes at all, it's just blank, and then when I hit the "next" button it defaults the phone number to the first Minnesota area code in the list (21 which I do not want.

Online Number isn't showing up on people's caller ...

Is there any way to fix this? My online number works because I recently paid for it and it expires May 20.
I know the number works because when I call myself, it rings but displays the "unkown number" problem.
Let me know if there's a way to solve this please.

Update on this issue. I had another support chat:
... (me)
Hi, My Online Number Caller ID shows up when the call is received on a mobile phone, but not on a BT landline (in the UK). My Online Number area code is Cambridge (01223) - is it possible Caller ID would work with BT if the Online Number area code was a different area, like London (020)?
... (support)
If caller ID isn’t displaying, it’s possible caller ID isn’t supported by the local telecommunication provider for the country you are calling. Caller ID is passed along with a call, from Skype through the local telephone companies, up to the mobile or landline number you dialled. If one of the links in the chain does not support caller ID properly, a default number or no number at all will be displayed instead. In most countries, caller ID is supported by the local providers and the number should display as normal. However, there are a few countries where caller ID can be less reliable or it does not work at all.
... (support)
Thank you for waiting. Upon checking this. We the Online Number is currently not supported in BT landlines. We are currently working with the providers so that we can provide our services to most of our clients across the globe. We understand the inconveniece this have cause and we apologize for this. We thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to make Skype even better.
... (me)
Thanks. When will Caller ID work with BT landlines?
... (support)I cannot guarantee a specific time, but we're working on it. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
... (me)
Please escalate this issue. In the UK, BT has 15.8 million landline customers. Sype Online Number in the UK is useless for business until Caller ID works.
... (support)
Will do.
... (me)
Thanks. Can I copy some of this information to the forum for others to read?
... (support)
Yes you can.

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?

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.

Elaine

Hi there
I really need Skype online number for Canada and Thailand please make this future for us
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.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

If the friends who would call an Australian Online Number are outside Australia, they would be charged for an international call. An Australian Online Number could be useful for your friends or family that are in Australia. Depending on where they are in Australia, those calls could potentially be considered local calls.
If your German friends are not able to get on Skype, another option may be to get an Online Number in a different European country. Skype has Online Numbers from other countries where there is no requirement to be a local resident (the UK is one of them). This would still be an international call for your German friends, but maybe not as expensive to call somewhere else in Europe vs. Australia.

Will Online Number suit my needs?

I am an Australian travelling through Germany and Sweden for one month.
I would like the friends I am visiting to be able to call me (to my ipad or ipod).
Can I get a German phone number (so they can make local calls), or if I get an Online number here in Australia, are my friends charged international rates to call me while I am in Germany?
Is an Online Number the right way to go?
Any ideas, suggestions?
Please advise

Select your local area and choose a number

But couldn't figure out what to chose among 13 choices listed as New York City Zones 3 through 15. Is there a difference in the Zones? I notice they all have the same area code - 347.
There are some subtle differences, related to how local phone calls are billed for callers in New York City. It would not affect how the Online Number works for you - you are not charged for incoming calls made to Skype's Online Numbers, when you answer those calls with Skype. For those calling you, it can mean the difference between a free call to your Online Number and having to pay a small fee to call your number. For someone calling from outside the New York City area, it probably doesn't matter which of those zones you use for your Online Number.
I have not found a good concise online reference to those calling zone in the past. I have found some rather cryptic material that shows which prefixes in each of the New York City area codes are in each of those zones. The zones are defined by lists of prefixes within each of those area codes, and those lists can be substantial with the growth in mobile phones over the years.

Receiving an error message when texting one number - requesting use of area code. It is there in the contact information.

Received text from friend and whole number is showing. In contact all the number shows but when texting the phone shows an error & requests the area code to be added. I have deleted the contact & the text thread then rebooted the phone but still happening. Help!

I'm sorry you're getting the +1 error message! Apple is working on a bug fix for this issue, fingers crossed it is corrected soon!
There is a work around that has helped many iPhone users experiencing this:
1. Delete the affected contacts from your phone
2. Delete the entire conversation thread
Next:
Go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings (this will delete any saved Wi-Fi passwords; no other data)
Once the phone reboots, add the contact back to your device and start a new message thread.
I hope this helps you!

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
