Online Number - Does it cost me per minute?

I just signed up for 3 months of an online number (for something like $12).  When someone now calls me on this number, do I pay a per minute cost on top of the $12 for 3 months charge?  Or is the $12 the only charge?
Thanks

My experience is that Skype does not make additional per-minute charges to the person who has purchased the Online Number. Beware, however, that the person dialling the Online Number may be racking up unexpected charges on their phone bill. In the case of South Africa, the "local" number Skype provides looks like an ordinary local number but they are charged at such a high rate that it would be much cheaper to dial the USA directly, landline to landline, than to dial this "local number." This is quite apart from the price paid to Skype get a local number. I cannot understand why anyone would want this service, at least for dialling from South Africa. What the per-minute charges are in other countries, I have no idea. Skype doesn't put any information about it on their website.

  • 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?

    I have an online number for my skype account.  When I call others from skype, the online number does not appear on the receiving party's phone, instead the receiving party would see 0000123456
    Note that I can receive landland originated calls to the skype account's online number.
    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.

  • Online number does not ring

    My online number does not ring on my computer...it has in the past and all of a sudden it no longer rings...what is the problem....all sound and speakers work correctly it doesnt even show an incoming call only registers that the number has called

    I have had a Skype online telephone number for over two years. However, within the last two months, I have been having a similar problem as SteveCl, as when someone calls my Skype telephone number my Skype does not ring intermittently.
    In addition, I use Google Voice, which allows someone to call my Google Voice telephone number, which will then automatically ring all of the telephones that I have associated with this service. For example, if someone calls my Google Voice number, my landline, cell phone, MagicJack, and Skype telephone lines (should) ring. My landline, cell phone, and MagicJack all ring consistently when someone calls my Google Voice telephone number. However, Skype rings intermittently, at least in the last two months.
    Until recently, my Skype online number rang consistently when someone called it. This problem has only manifested itself within the last two months. Making the problem even more puzzling is that sometimes my Skype online number will ring through while other times it will not. For example, on March 24, 2012, it worked; however, on March 25, it does not work. Sometimes Skype will not ring through at 3 p.m. but will ring through at 3:30 p.m.; as I said, this is very intermittent. I have the most recent version of the Skype software installed. Skype is configured to allow calls to my Skype number from anyone. I have not changed this setting.
    I can use Skype to call out to telephone numbers or other Skype users without a problem. In addition, I have not noticed any problems when Skype users call me; Skype on my ends rings through in this case. Skype-to-telephone and Skype-to-Skype calls are usually good quality, so my Internet connection should not be influencing this issue.
    I would also like to contact Skype directly about this issue. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

  • My Online number does not ring

    I keep getting told by people that they are ringing my number and it just rings out.
    I dont get a notification on my pc or a missed call logged.
    This does not happen all the time, but frankly once is more than enough.
    I would like to contact Skype directly about this, but can't see how - has anyone else had this problem?
    Is there something I can do/check to see if its my end?
    Thx for your time.

  • Online number does not forward or go to voicemail

    I have an online number which is forwarded to an Australian Mobile.  It also set up to go to voicemail if not answered.  Neither of these functions work as it just rings out when dialed.  Where is it ringing?  How do I get the features to work?  Why am I paying for something that does not work?  Will I get a refund for time elapsed to date?

    Do you happen to have Airplane mode enabled?

    Hello. I just purchased a skype online number today for the usa. paid and complete. however, when you dial it from the usa (or anywhere) you get a constant busy signal. why? how to make the on-line number work? this happens whether i am online or 'offline' skype status. thank you. harlowru

    An Online Number is to receive calls.   To make calls you need Credits or a subscription.

  • My Online Number Does Note Display When I Call Out...

    I have been told by people I call that their phones do not display my online #. They see Unknown Number or Number Available or Another # I do not recognize.
    This is a new problem for me. I have had the same online # for over a year.
    Thoughts?

    This so full of BS on Skypes part, I have to constantly come to my settings on this web site to reinactivate caller ID, it is the only place to do it, there is no setting on the app itself. First, why is the setting not being saved?  Who is turning it off? Why do I have to go this website to activate it and same with the voicemail message greeding? Should be done via app! 

  • Online number and "Brasil 400"

    Please, somebody help! My online number does not accept incalls, the line is aways engaged! Nobody can call on my online number. And the 400 minutes from the package "Brasil 400" still are not available, but the money already was taken two days ago from my credit card!!!! What kind of service is that? Somebody please do something! It is not the first time that this happens!

    Hi,
    Having the same problem.
    I found out that the ringtone on both my "skype incoming contacts" and "Incoming voicemail" have died. When I "reset to default" the sound is back. Only after I "saved", it goes back to dead. This might be a goed start to found out what's going on here.

    I have troubleshooted and posted on here and changed privacy settings and upgraded to the latest Skype version and have been in a continuous online feedback loop w/ Skype desperately looking for answers.  MAD! 
    My 3 month online number does NOT work, and now Skype is sending me emails saying that I can extend it.  No way. I want my money back, and I want the number to work.  Do I really need to buy MORE credit in order to get an answer? will absolutely abandon skype.

  • OnLine number in Ontario Canda

    Is it possible to get an online number form Toronto Canada?

    rbrough wrote:
    Does anyone know if online numbers for Canada are planned in the future?
    I'm not sure of that.  You can search through these forums for lots of discussions about this topic.  It centers on the Canadian requirement that providers of telephone services must be able to connect callers to 911, where Skype does not do that (with two very narrow exceptions).  Other countries where Skype offers Online Numbers do not impose this requirement, so I would expect nothing to change unless the Canadian telecommunications regulator decides to update or modernize its regulations. 
    Skype users can already call into Canada, and get Canadian Skype To Go numbers to access Skype services.  In the Skype context, an Online Number does nothing for calling Canadian telephones, as it only receives calls.  I live in the States, but would like a Canadian number if/when they ever become available.  I'm not holding my breath on this one, though.

  • Transfer from all countries online number ($18/3 m...

    Hi,
    Please guide me how to transfer from 'ALL countries online to US /Canada online number' - as it was an error and I don't have to pay $18 where the transaction is still pending - please help me to transfer to US online and to refund the balance or anyother confirmation - thank you!
    BB.

    1)   I needed an 'online' number to call other skypes accounts ( on their mobiles, on their computer skypes etc.,) - and also I saw the Discount you offer "US & Canada" unlimited $2.99 / month. 
    My kind request ( I will not be traveling outside USA) : Please allow me to have online number at a discounted rate per month ( $2.99 / month instead of $18 for 3 months).
    Two problems here....
    1. The Online Numbers only work to *receive* calls from telephones on your Skype account.  They do nothing for calling phones. 
    2. There is no discount for an Online Number as you describe.  They are either US$ 18/3 months, US$ 60/year, or US$ 30/year if you already have a subscription to call telephones. 
    If you want to receive calls from telephones and make calls to telephones in the USA, you would need two items - an Online Number in the US at the prices I listed above, and some way to pay for the calls you make from Skype to telephones in the US (Skype Credit, or the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month).  You must have both, in order to be able to make calls to telephones as well as receive calls from telephones. 
    If Skype users you are calling run the Skype app on their smart phones or other devices, you would just call them on their Skype account name.  This would be a free call, not requiring an Online Number or a subscription (or Skype Credit on your account).  You need the subscription (or Skype Credit) only if you are calling those people at their mobile phone numbers, and only need the Online Number if you want them to be able to call you from a telephone and not from Skype. 
     2) transaction date is shown for my order number "626216569" says 6/19/2012 - 02:43 GMT.
    My question: when this will be effective for me to call my relatives and friends who have skype ( I don't have skype so I'm getting a skype 'online' US only number ).
    I hope this helps you to understand my issues - I thought my 'online' number will be ready by this evening , as I did my transaction yesterday ( but it is giving a wrong transaction date too).
    I'm really confused how long to wait to get this 'online' number... and I'm very very excited about this 'online' number that I'm getting , but I don't know when I'm going to get it.
    Again, you don't need to purchase anything if the people you are calling are also on Skype.  Call them using their Skype name, and it is a free call.
    As for what you purchased, you may want to click on the "Support" link above and file a request with Skype Support about that.  I'm not a Skype employee, so I can't look into the status of your recent purchase.

  • Online Number Discount

    Hi, we are looking at purchasing Skype Premium and an online number. Looking at the prices the online number says that a subscription comes with a 50% discount for an online number, does that discount also come with Skype Premium?

    Hello,
    If you purchase the 12-month "Premium" option you also receive an Unlimited free calls package to the country of your choice. This package entitles you to an Online # discount

  • How much does a facetime call cost per minute?

    how much does facetime cost per minute?

    Facetime is carried by WiFi and the internet, not the cell carrier.  There is no cost, unless your ISP doesn't provide unlimited data and you have to pay data charges for your home (or hotel) internet.
    If and when FaceTime is available on 3G, you may have to pay for data overage.  However, it never is charged by the minute.
