Online Number: Individual vs. Skype Business Manag...
I am the president of a small, non-profit professional organization who are experimenting with holding their board meetings via phone conference. I am wondering if it will be less expensive for me to get an online number as an individual or for me to get an online number through Skype business manager subscription.

IMHO. I think you need to determine if you would like a single method to fund Skype services to other Skype names you can create using the Business Manager as well as if you intend to share a Skype name with others.
Sadly, if you intend to share a Skype name, those that have the password for that Skype name, who maybe need it to answer calls from that Online Number, could change the password to that Skype name, if that Skype namecreated by the Business Manager was assigned the Online Number from the Business Manager in that case, the password can be easily reset.
That said. If that Skype name was not created by the Business Manager, an angry person having access to that Skype name and password, might change the password and then you maybe at their mercy to be able to answer calls from that "Online Number" assigned to that Skype name and/or access to other Skype services assigned to that Skype name. as well.
So, there are some security benefits as well as single source funding/payment benefits to consider one over the other based on what you might want and do now or in the future.

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.

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 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:

Want to get a skype online number
I m Bangladeshi.How can i get a skype online number & buy credits?

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.

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.

Is Business Manager the best tool for our company?
I have a number of quesitons to answer to figure out if Busienss Manager is the best tool for our company. The ONLY reason we are pursuing changing from individual accounts is that Share Screen has been removed from some of our accounts with the latest Skype update.
Can we port existing Skype account names to Business Manager?
Will Skype contacts be kept?
Is 'Share Screen' part of Business Man.?
Is it east to add and delete user accounts in Business Manager?
What are the admin issues?
Can more than one person be the administrator? Is it easily transfered?
The Business Manager literature refers to credit allocation, tracking and reporting as a benefit of Business manager. Credit is not a concern for our company as we seldom use Skype to call phones. What are the other benefits of Skype business Manager?
Thank you for your time and help.Up until a few weeks ago I would certainly reccomend Skype, but my advice is for youy to look for another company.
Skype doesn't care about it's business customers, I and others have been trying to buy credits for week but the system is broken with no fix in sight, I was told it would be fixed by the end of the week, it hasn't been!!
Read for yourself then go look for another phone provider, Skype is not responsive to business customers!

Discount for online number available?
Hello,
I am thinking about purchasing a Skype online number for my UK business.
At the moment, it says on Skypes website that there is a 50% discount for existing subscribers. I think this does not apply to me because this would be my first online number.
But I remember that there was some offer a while ago where you were able to receive credit towards your other subscriptions when buying an online number.
Can anybody please help and tell me what is the best and cheapest way to get the online number or if there are any promotions or discounts currently available , hidden on Skype's website??
I apprciate your help!

Extending an online number accidentally deleted
How do I extend an online number accidentally deleted which is about to expire in three days
pureinsurance wrote:
Hi, thanks for the information but it doesn't work.
We have an online number (critical to our business) that has been allocated to a member. We can see that the number has expired but there is no option next to the number that we can use to renew the number.
Appreciate that there should be this option (as we've used it in the past) but its not there now.
Could you "Skype" please urgently review and advise?
Regards
You'll have to get in touch with Skype Support. This community forum is not able to dig into your Skype account and try to determine what happened with your Online Number. Also, I'm not a Skype employee, so I apologize for not being able to help you further with this matter.

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?jiang924 wrote:
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.

If both of you use Skype on your devices (iPhones and PCs), you could simply call each other via Skype for free. No need for anything else from Skype.
An Online Number is used by people on telephones to reach your Skype account. Online Numbers are available in a couple dozen countries, including the UK. After purchasing the Online Number, it costs you nothing to receive calls on that number with your Skype account. For callers, it is either a free call, or it costs them however much to reach that number from their telephone provider. A Skype To Go number is a way you can access Skype when you are not at your computer or device with a Skype app like your iPhone. When you dial a Skype To Go number, you can either call from a short list of your contacts, or dial any international number. You can use an Online Number with any Skype program or app - on a computer, smart phone, etc.
