Online Number Free with skype credits

Do you get an online number with skype credits or do you have to pay additional for this

Credit or a subscription is required for call forwarding or outbound calling. Standard inbound calls consume no credit or subscription. The people calling you still have to pay the standard rate it costs to call the Skype number from their phone (billed by their phone provider) similar to you having to pay for your Internet/Data plan bill to use Skype on your phone.

Is The Online Number Compatible With INQ1 Skype Mo...

Hi Guys,
I want to know if the Skype INQ1 mobile is compatible with the "Skype Online Number" feature? Basically, if I purchase a skype number and link my account to the INQ1, if someone calls me will the mobile ring?
Also, any idea on what the internet/data charge will be on 3 UK network, if any?
Thanks

I have never heard of a "vehicle charging pad". The only way to charge an iPhone is by using its Lightning port and power adapter.

How can I move an online number from one Skype acc...

I managed to get an online number but bought it for the wrong Skype account - is there any way I can get it transferred across to a different Skype account?

It's not possible to transfer products from one account to another. But you can request a refund and purchase a new number for the correct account.

My Skype to Go Number Incompatible with Skype

It's also happening to me.
Around two month ago I started using MagicJack, everything works good with the phone, even when I call out US to my favorites/registered skype numbers works fine; but for no registered/favorite number I need to call through my (local) main sjype number this (Majicjack) tells me "to call a conference line or platform visit us to MajickJack-dot-com to purchase pre-paid minutes"; why????
How could you fix this????
Subject/title edited for clarity.

Here's a transcript of a 'conversation' I had with the Magic Jack people in regard to this problem.
Please wait for a site operator to respond.
You are now chatting with 'Shane'
Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK11153080006720X
Shane: Hello, how may I help you?
Shane: We use Tech Chat to better assist you. By using Tech Chat, we can send you instant upgrade links and run several diagnostic tests, that cannot be done over the telephone. We are also able to see where you are located, what OS and Internet browser you are using. Lastly we can see that your Internet connection is working too.This will provide the best Customer care experience and keep you most satisfied.
Shane: Hello, how may I help you?
John: When calling 661-748-xxxx I receive the following msg "Please go to my.magicjack.com/prepaid and purchase prepaid minutes to call conference calls, platforms and this number 2 cents per minute" This is a Skype phone with a California area code. Why do I get the above msg?
Shane: Let me explain
John: Please do
Shane: When you hear this voice prompt calling certain US/Canadian number, it doesn't mean that you cannot call that certain number. However, in order for the call to connect in that line, you have to purchase International Prepaid Minutes. It is because the number you are calling is identified as one of the following lines : Platform line, Conference line, Fee-per-call, or a Non-ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier) phone number. You may wonder what are these type of services/lines. These are type of lines where "per-call toll charges" are incurred by telephone service subscribers that you are calling.
John: So if ' "per-call toll charges" are incurred by telephone service subscribers that you are calling. ' is the case then they (the subscribers) pay the charges - why is MJ asking me to pay?
Shane: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.
Shane: It may depend on the other phone carriers end if calling a magicjack number would incur charges, but if magicjack calls this certain numbers, then you will need to get Prepaid minutes to connect.
John: So what you are saying is that MJ users have to pay 2 cents a minute to call any Skype user?
John: And presumably this is a Skype problem??
John: because of the way they have defined their phone numbers?
Shane: oh if this is a Skype number, that won't usually work sinec VOIP to VOIP calls from magicjack will not work properly
John: I see, thank you for the info - I will forward this info to the Skype user in question. Have a fine day. John A.
Shane: You are most welcome, I hope somehow I assisted you with your concerns, have a great day ahead, God bless,
Further to the above, in this case, the Skype caller, when calling my magic number would be 'connected' briefly and then nothing. At the MJ end, the MJ phone would ring, the Skype caller's phone number would be displayed but there was no voice communication between us.
So there you have it.

Skype-to-go and Online Number

Hi,
I am an American graduate student who will be living in Canada for a year. I plan on purchasing a Canadian cell phone plan but would still like to be able to call and be called easily by my family and friends in the states. I was considering purchasing both a skype-to-go plan to call people in the US and getting an online number so that people in the US could call me for free (as well as an unlimited us/Canada plan). Would this work, as long as I get a mobile plan with a lot of minutes, or would there be additional/roaming fees? I know that Skype-to-Skype would also be possible but, I'm not sure that I'll have a data plan.
Thanks!

What you outline is good, stuff you can use Skype for. There is a sequence you would want to follow, which will help you save a little $$$ in the process.
First thing you should probably do is get your Unlimited USA & Canada subscription. This covers calling to landlines and mobile phones in both countries at US$ 2.99/month. If purchased on a yearly basis, you get a 15% discount, knocking the price down to just over US$ 30/year. Once you have this, you will be able to make calls from Skype to landline and mobile phones in both countries, and use this to cover the calls forwarded from Skype to your Canadian number.
Once you have the subscription, purchase the US Online Number. Ideally, you should get it in the same city as the people who would call you most, trying to make the call for them a free local call. Skype does not have Online Numbers in all 50 US states and not in all US area codes, so take a look at what's there. Even if you can't get a number in the same city as your friends and family, at least it would be a domestic long-distance call instead of making them call a Canadian number at international rates from the USA. With the subscription, you can get a 50% discount on the price of the Online Number. For a year, that makes the Online Number US$ 30. Not a bad deal. You would not be charged by Skype to receive calls on the Online Number. With the subscription as outlined above, you can forward calls to any number covered by your subscription (in Canada or the USA) for no additional charges from Skype.
Then get the Skype To Go number. You may be able to get the number so it is a local call for you wherever you are going to be in Canada. Be very careful about the city and area code/prefix combination for the Skype To Go number, as this could be a long-distance call for you. Using the mobile phone, those calls may be covered by your mobile plan. Not all calls to all area codes for a particular Canadian city may be considered as free local calls. You can then set up Skype To Go to remember your Canadian number, so you don't have to enter a PIN code every time you call the Skype To Go number to make calls. These calls would either be covered by your subscription (free calling to US and Canadian numbers), or require Skype Credit if calling somewhere not covered by the subscription.
You will have to consult with your mobile carrier on the particulars for receiving calls. Some plans may give you unlimited incoming calls, where others will allow you a specified number of minutes per month. The cheapest monthly plans will probably charge you some amount per minute for incoming calls. All of this is outside of Skype's control, so make sure you're set up for this and know what you're getting from the mobile carrier.
As you stated, you will need to have some sort of data plan if you intended to use the Skype app on your mobile phone in Canada, and use the mobile network as your Internet connection. If you have access to WiFi, that would take care of the Internet access, but do make sure of what you get from the mobile carrier. Chances are good that you won't have an "unlimited" data plan option from the Canadian carrier, just like how the US mobile carriers are going now, so make sure of whatever you are getting in this regard.
On a past trip to western Canada a couple of years ago, I did a similar thing as you are going to do. I already had a US Online Number and a subscription covering calls to the US, and obtained a Vancouver Skype To Go number so I could access Skype from Canada when not on the Internet. I purchased a Rogers Wireless prepaid SIM in Vancouver with a Vancouver number which had an optional data plan (paid per day), so I could avoid roaming charges from my US mobile carrier. I set up Skype to forward calls to the Canadian number while I was in Canada, so callers to my US Online Number didn't have to change anything they did to reach me. Whenever I called back to the US, I rang my Vancouver Skype To Go number, then made the cross-border calls using Skype (covered by my subscription). I saved a lot of $$$, compared to using my US mobile number in Canada and getting clobbered by roaming fees. I ended up only using Skype when on WiFi, instead of paying for that optional data plan on the prepaid Canadian SIM. It takes some thought and work to set up, but it was worth it.
Good luck!

More than One Skype Online Number

I have a US online number and wanted to know if I can set up an Australian online number on the same skype account?

geleotec wrote:

Yes, you can add an Australian Online Number to your Skype account. You can add up to 10 Online Numbers on a single Skype account. I have numbers from the USA and Australia, along with two other places (Mexico and the UK).
Note that if you want to handle calls to the Australian number differently than calls to your US number (i.e., use different settings if forwarding calls from each Online Number), you would want to establish a second Skype account and put the Australian number there. Otherwise, if you are happy to use the same call-forwarding settings for both numbers, you can do that with your existing account. Just log into your account on the Skype web site, go to the section for Skype (Online) Numbers, and purchase the Australian number.
For Australia, numbers are available for Canberra, the mainland state capitals, and other areas outside the capitals of the 3 eastern states (Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria). Numbers are currently unavailable for Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and other areas outside Adelaide in South Australia and Perth in Western Australia. Numbers would be considered landline numbers, and use the landline area codes for those locations - 03 xxxx xxxx in Melbourne, 02 xxxx xxxx in Sydney, etc.

Re-directing a Telstra number to a Skype online nu...

We have a Telstra redirection in place from a Telstra number to a Skype online number. When someone dials the Telstra number from a landline, the call is redirected to the Skype online number - no problems.
However, when someone dials the Telstra number from an Optus mobile, they get the "Optus regrets this number is disconnected" message.
We have contacted Telstra and they have advised that we must contact the service provider of the number we are redirecting to i.e.. the Skype online number. Hence, I am contacting you for help. Please advise how to fix this. Thanks

Can you dial the Skype Online Number directly from an Optus mobile? And, is it safe to assume that the Skype Online Number you are using is an Australian number and not a number in some other country? It is interesting that the recording you received when your Telstra landline number is dialed from an Optus mobile is from Optus. This may indicate the problem is not with Telstra or with Skype's Australian partner providing the links to the Australian telephone network, but somewhere with Optus.
You have posted in the Community forums, where Skype users try to help other Skype users. Some Skype employees monitor the forums, and may join in the discussions. If you are still having problems, you may want to click on the "Support" link at the top of the page, open a support ticket with Skype, and provide details - for example, the telephone numbers in question (an Optus mobile number, the Telstra landline number, and your Skype Online Number) along with an explanation of the problem.

Want to get a skype online number

I want to get a Skype online number for business use, but found the Skype Terms of Service states that "If Skype allocates you an Online Number or Skype To Go Number, you do not own number or have a right to retain that number forever. Skype may need to change or withdraw the number allocated to you from time to time."
What is the possibility for Skype to withdraw or change my online number? I don't want to change the number after I print them out on my business cards. Thanks!
I'm glad you took a moment to read through the legal stuff, and found that point. Skype does claim ownership over the Online Numbers it offers. In practice, for most countries, there should be no need to worry about Skype making changes to your number.
It is possible that the number could be changed in the future, if something in the country or area where your number is changes - i.e., changes in area/city codes. If the changes are imposed upon Skype by its partner providing the Online Number in that country, or by local/national regulations in that area, Skype would have no choice but to make changes to numbers. In the past, numbers have been cancelled when Skype and the local company providing the Online Number service to Skype have ended their business relationship. This could happen again in the future for numbers in other countries. Anything is possible, but how likely this is may be minimal.

Help seriously needed ASAP, thanks a million!

You are correct, the ability to receive calls from telephones (the Online Number) is separate from the ability to make calls to telephones (the subscriptions). Having one does not give you the other. When logged into Skype from almost anywhere, you would be able to receive calls made to your Online Number, and - with the subscription, or by simply adding Skype Credit to your account - have the ability to call telephones from Skype.
For calling to the States, there is an Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month, or with a 15% discount if purchased for a year at a time (just over US$ 30/year). This subscription, along with a US online number, effectively gives you a US "telephone" that you can use from Egypt or anywhere else. Please keep in mind Skype's fair-use policy regarding subscriptions. Click on "Subscriptions" below for more details.
Good luck!

Online Number Skype Premium

Is an online number included in Skype Premium or does it have to still be purchased?

Hi,
Skype Premium includes group video calling plus a calling subscription to a country of your choice, Online Number is a different service and needs to be purchased separately.
Skype manager is a tool for businesses that allows you to purchase Skype Credit centrally and then allocate services to different members of your Skype Manager.
You'll find more about the Online Numbers plus the available countries on the following page:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/online-number

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?

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.

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.
