Online number called ID disclosure

I registered online number (Finland number).
I want to show caller ID (same Finland number), but when i am going to disclosure it, then system wants me to insert number where skype can send SMS with confirmation code.
Irony is that if i am going to insert my online finland number, then it cant receive SMS and i can not confirm the caller ID disclosure.
But when i am going to insert my Estonian mobile number then i can receive confirmation SMS, but the problem is that when I call trough skype then it doesnt show online finland number, it shows my Estonian mobile number.
I want that people can see my online Finland number not my Estonian mobile phone number. How to solve this problem?
Waiting your reply.

It is possible that the Online Numbers from Finland can't be used as Caller ID with Skype. There are some countries where that is the case, and I personally know of two (Australia, Mexico). If you go into your Skype program, or log into your account on the Skype web site, you should be able to see what numbers you have available to use as Caller ID. If your Finland number is not listed there, then it can't be used.

Online numbe/caller id

how is an online number displayed on caller id when I call someone

rickytruth wrote:
I just called myself with my online number and noticed the number showing up in the caller id, was a completley different number. When I call back the number that shows up in the caller id I get an out of service message. How do I get this corrected?
My current number is: *removed for privacy*
The Number Showing up in Caller ID is: *removed for privacy*
Since those numbers were removed by a moderator, I can offer a general answer. Assuming your Online Number is from one of these countries (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), you should be able to set it for Caller ID. Log into your Skype account using the "Account" link at the top of this page. You should then see your account, including Caller ID settings. If you don't see your Online Number for your Caller ID, click on the link to change that. You would then be able to select the number, and save the change.
Even with this, there is a possibility that the telephone carrier(s) used to connect your calls from Skype to a telephone number won't pass your Caller ID information along. This would be outside of Skype's control. You can at least make sure you have the number showing up in your account's Caller ID settings, which should take care of the issue you mentioned.

If a person calls back Number1 and if I am not available to answer this should reach skype voicemail.
If a person calls back Number2 and if I am not available it should be forwarded to my mobile number.
Is this settings possible?
Could someone please enlight me.
Thanks,

Yes, it do mean so and, to do call forwarding to your phone, you need Skype Credit or Monthly Plan.

Online number call forwarding issues

Hello all,
I live in Taiwan, and I just recently purchased an online (United States) number (where I have an unlimited subcription to landlines and cell phones), so I could get my phone calls forwarded to my cell phone in Taiwan, however, after setting up Skype's forwarding service, my call are not being forwarded to my Taiwanese cell phone.
Do I need to purchase a Taiwan subscription as well in order for my phone calls to be forwarded to my cell phone?
Thank you.

You will need to get skype credit or a mobile subscription for Taiwan to forward to your Taiwanese cell phone. Here is another solution. I use Kall8 it is a call forwarding service with a 800 type number. The forward to a Taiwan cell looks like .70 cents a minute. You need to do some research and find which one is cheaper. It cost $2.00 a month plus the call fees. I have used it all over the world with no problem.
If you found a post useful, please give Kudos. If it helped to fix your issue, mark it as a solution to help others.
Thank You!

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.

Possible mobile online number? need something to r...

hi everyone
anyone know any solution for me?
i love skype and i would like to join if there is a service just like online number, but in mobile version.
i need something i can receive SMS, so landline version of online number is not very working for me.
anyone know anyting i can do?
cheers.
Sam

can I purchase an online number & have calls forwarded to my mobile?
If so, will callers pay local rate charges?
Do I need to have the Skype app installed on my phone in order to recieve the calls? (I do have it installed, but it really drains my battery)
Would be be able to see who is calling and which number they're calling (my mobile number or the 'online number')?
Hi,
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. You can forward Online Number calls to your mobile:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/call-forwarding/
2. Callers pay local rates if Online Number is local to them. Online Number acts like a regular landline number and people calling this number will get charged the same way as they would call regular landline in that area/country. Keep in mind that for call forwarding to your mobile number you will be charged. It would be the same if you call your mobile from your Skype account.
3. If you forward calls to your mobile number, then you don't need Skype on your phone.
4. You should be able to see who is calling. Skype should forward caller ID as well if it is enabled by caller. As you know not everybody has their caller ID visible when making calls.
I hope this helps.
Andre

With Online Numbers, receiving calls on them using Skype is free. You would only have to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription if you used Call Forwarding to divert calls to a telephone number.
If you purchase a UK Online Number, calls from them to your Online Number would be billed the same way as calling a non-Skype landline number in the same area. It may be a local call, or - at most - a domestic long-distance call in the UK. This sounds like the better way to go, as those UK contacts would have to pay for an international call if you had a Mexican Online Number for them to ring you on. Again, it would cost you nothing to receive the call in Skype, but callers would pay whatever their telephone carrier charges to make a call to that location.
Now if you had people in Mexico who also needed to reach you via telephone, you could purchase a UK and a Mexican Online Number. You can have up to 10 Online Numbers on a single Skype account. I have numbers in these two countries, along with the USA and Australia. Then people in those countries are either making a local call (possibly a free local call) or no worse than a domestic long-distance call to reach me. Or they can use Skype, and it would be a free call on both ends.

Online number is not showing up in caller id

I live in the U.S. and my online number is not showing up when I call someone. Is there a way to fix this

unleashyourgeek wrote:
I am constantly having problems with clients not seeing my phone number when I call. Why is this happening? Your answer here was very short and not very specific as to how to resolve this. I have been fighting this for more than 2 months now but I keep paying for a number that people can't see when I call them.
I'm sorry I did not give an answer that met your level of specificity. The original poster did not post the number he/she was trying to call. This is also a worldwide forum mostly inhabited by Skype users along with some Skype employees who post from time to time. I'm not a Skype employee, just a user who makes use of many features of Skype to avoid paying more $$$ to the telephone companies.
When Skype users have Online Numbers, these numbers are not automatically used as Caller ID when calling telephones from a Skype account. This way, the Skype users hold the control over whether or not to have a working phone number show up as Caller ID. Most who have Online Numbers want them used as Caller ID, but the users - and not Skype - get that level of control. In my opinion, that's a good thing.
The surest way to see the current Caller ID settings for your Skype account and change them is to log into your account on the Skype web site (use the "account" link on the upper-right corner of the Skype web site). When you log in, you will see the current settings, and the link to make changes. If you have Online Numbers that can be used for Caller ID, you can select them. Online Numbers in the USA and the UK are examples of the numbers that can be used as Caller ID from Skype, and numbers from Mexico and Australia can't be used as Caller ID. You also have options to use different numbers as Caller ID for calls to telephones in those countries, and have a "default" number used for Caller ID anywhere else. In my case, my default number for Caller ID is my US Online Number, and my UK Online Number is used as Caller ID for calls to the UK.
Even with these settings properly configured, there are still occasions where your number (an Online Number, or a mobile number which has gone through the verification process with two SMS messages) will not appear on the Caller ID displays of the phones you call. This is generally outside the control of Skype. If you are using a number that is not a "local" number in the country that you are calling, it too may not show up on the Caller ID display. Instead of posting on the community forums, using the Support link at the top of this page may be the better way to go. You can go through the knowledge base trying to find a solution, and end up opening a support ticket with Skype. If you have a subscription, you may be able to go to a live chat with Skype support.

Online number does not appear as caller ID for out...

I have a Skype Premium account and an Online Number based in Stockholm, Sweden.
I have verified the Caller ID for my account is set for the Online Number starting with +468.
When I call my mobile phone (Swedish mobile operator), the ID appears as "Unknown".
When I call the Online Number from my mobile phone, the calling number is shown correctly.
What could be wrong?

Log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site, using the "Account" link at the top of this page. Once you log in, you will see Caller ID settings. If your number is from one of the countries whose numbers can be used as Caller ID (Chile, Denmark, Estonia, Hong Kong, Poland, Sweden, the UK and the US), you should be able to select it and save that for your Caller ID setting. If your number is from some other country, it can't be used as Caller ID when calling phones from Skype - and you would need to use a mobile number (except those from Japan or Mexico) that has gone through the two-step SMS verification process from Skype.

RTX 4088 not ringing when called using online numb...

I have read a lot of posts some with solutions( that don't work) and others stating that this is a known skype issue.
Firstly i have just bought my second cordless phone, RTX 4088, nice phone but wont ring when anyone rings me on my online number. This is hit and miss, works some days others not. Actually doesn't work most of the time.
I had a long chat with skype support and did as a another post suggested deleted an xml file, changed some settings and sat about for 5 minutes, this didn't work.
I did get it to work by doing a full reset on the phone, this fixed it temporarily. 15minutes later.
RTX support is useless, they said contact skype and skype said contact them....
I am pissed at skype over this, no public notice that this is a bug and no real solution. Online numbers are pointless if your phone wont ring when someone calls. You may as well buy a €6 corded phone and leave your computer on because thats the only calls i can receive. Dont spend th €90 euro for a fancy phone that just answers skype to skype calls.
Skype please fix this bug and stop giving us the run around.....

Phones calling my online number

i have recently set up an online number which works fine. I have all of my contacts from my iPhone on my Skype contacts as it transfered them accross when I downloaded the new Skype.
But when I call on my mobile for example, sometimes it displays 07, sometimes +7 and sometimes +447 and even +07. It will not regonise any of my numbers in my contact list.
I am calling from the UK to a UK online number BTW.
Has anyone had any issues with this? If I add a client to my Skype and they ring me, I want to be able to know who it is before I pick it up, like a normal mobile phone does.
Please help me out,
Thanks in advanced.

Make a call with an Online number?

Can you make a call if you have an online number or can you only recieve calls with an online number? What I mean by this is that can you make a domestic call without paying any additional money if you already have an online number.

With an online number, you only can receive calls from the country you chose.

The below means called the online number from inside uk from +4413000000???
This call was forwarded from +4413000000

Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer Online Numbers between accounts. You can, however, set up call forwarding from one account to another to be able to receive calls when being logged into either one. Please see http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/call-forwarding/

See which online number is being called ?

I have 2 online numbers setup on my Skype account. When a call comes in - is it possible to see which Skype Online Number they dialled ?
Thanks

Someone may be along to correct me, but my belief is that, for RETAIL subscriptions (the regular kind), you can only have one subscription that counts, and it can only be used on TWO computers by ONE person. If you want multiple people to use it, they each need an Adobe ID and subscription. If one person wants to use it on three computers they need two Adobe IDs. For enterprises, volume licenses work differently.

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.
