Online number for sms

Can I get South  African number to use it for sms? I need no call but  sms only.   (I mean incoming sms from SA to me)

I too would like to disable this "feature" as I don't use it, nor want it.
Just yesterday, my Microsoft keyboard malfunctioned and sent a burst of SMS messages through Skype until it drained my account which contained the default $5.00 credit when I signed up. I don't particularly care about the $5.00, but I'm annoyed that by dumb luck the feature sent these messages to my director (various quantities of 1s) and about 45 of them. The only thing that stopped sending the messages was that my account ran out of money. Good thing that it's not configured for auto-recharge. I have another Skype account with money in it and to prevent a similar occurrence in that account, I'm now going to dump the credit by texting myself. In texting myself because my cell phone has unlimited texting it at least will not cost me more money.
Depending on whether or not he has a text messaging plan on his phone this could create a nice little charge.
We need to have the ability to block SMS messages just as we can with our mobile phones.

    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.

    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.

  • Is Online number for Singapore available?

    Is Online number for Singapore available?

    Hi, Perryco, and welcome to the Community,
    If you click on the link provided by Norman, above, you will be transferred to the information about obtaining a Skype Number.  Clicking on the box on the right side of that window to check the list of countries where a Skype Number is available will show that Singapore does not appear on the list. 
    Unfortunately, due to one or more legitimate reasons, not all countries or locations can or do participate in the Skype Number program.  Skype does not announce when new countries are added to the list; we would have to check back periodically.
    Regards,

  • Online number for older relative - best option?

    My husband is in Kuwait for 12 months. His mom is in Illinois and is almost 80. She doesn't have a computer/web/cell but does have a landline phone. My husband wants to be able to call her when off duty (he already can call me and the kids on cell or computer). Looking at everything I think our best (and only) option is to buy His mom a skype phone number. My husband calls that number (free since skype to skype) and it would ring on her home number (right??)
    is this the best option? She wouldn't be using it to call out, just for him to call her.
    I went to buy a number Online - and I wasn't sure how it worked.  looked like it might just give ME (since I signed in) the number. Do I have to create an account for His mom and then buy the skype number for her?
    Thanks!

  • 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 for Brazil no longer available?

    My online number just stoped working.  Back in May I received an email stating the Skype team had addressed the issues with Brazil Telecom and I could order online numbers, since Transit was not releasing the old numbers. I ordered a new number on July 20th thru purchase order 59645482. The number worked fine until November 20th, when friends started reporting busy tone. Today I found out, thru an agent that the number has been disconnected and that you no longer can get online numbers in Brazil. 
    Despite the fact that I was not notified or refunded, I would like to know if there is any plans to restore the Online service to Brazil and what is the timeline.
