First check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.

Do I need an online number to get a call from some...

Hello,
Do I need an online number to get a call from someone in Europe who is calling from their computer?

Hey the question is what you want to do Sir.
Skype bare and free provides you means to talk voice and video from the application with all your friends who have Skype too on their side. Though you need to connect with them first. Add them manually or through some importing to your contact. There you have the basic capability.
Then you can add with credit or subscription (I personally think that the subscriptions now with 50% off yearly are absolutely great) a few services.
1. Outgoing voice calls to real numbers. They have plans for landlines and mobile with diff prices for diff countries. Again check the promos now for good deals.
2. Incoming voice calls from real numbers when you buy the online number. Alas its not available for all countries yet.
3. You can set your ID so when you call / outgoing voice, people can recognize you.
4. To go number that can let you call long distance and abroad as local call.
And more I guess.
I find their outgoing call quality as unparalleled to any other provider. Call quality from Canada to Israel is usually on par as land line and superior to Bell.

My Skype Number always shown busy when call

Since I bought my skype number it is always shown busy. Can you help?

Hi, Psalamon, and welcome to the Community,
Please contact customer service to request assistance with this.
Also, when you say, "My skype number is constantly busy when I am called (and I am not using it!),"
... please note that the Skype Number will not "ring busy" - if you are using Skype, incoming calls would be diverted according to your Tools -> Options settings. The Skype Number provides a phone number for people to reach you, but the number has nothing to do with outbound calls you place.
Hope this makes sense!
Regards,
Elaine

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?

Number not appearing when calling landlines

I have a subscription for an American number with months to go, but when I call a landline in the US the number is not appearing on the caller ID like before.
This is an error that needs to be fixed.

MatthewLieblong wrote:
Agreed. This is ridiculous that you pay for a US local number, which works, but you cannot use it as your caller ID number. That was half of the point of getting the online number, I never would have imagined it didn't show up as your caller ID. So basically I can never get anyone to answer when I call because it looks like some crazy California area code and/or hidden/private/telemarketer phone number in the caller id of whomever I am calling.
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. It should be default set to use your online number as your caller ID, and you could change it to a mobile number or otherwise if you wanted to afterwards. Can someone from Skype fix this, or at least explain why? If they don't, I will be searching for other web phone solutions when my subscriptions expire.
Skype does not automatically use an Online Number for Caller ID, since that is a privacy question best left to Skype users. First of all, not all Online Numbers are usable as Caller ID. Next, some users may have multiple Online Numbers that are eligible for use as Caller ID. In that case, which number should Skype select?
If you want to access the Caller ID settings, one way to do that is to log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site. Use the "Account" link at the top of this page, and you will see the current Caller ID settings. From there, you can change it. US Online Numbers can be selected as Caller ID, as can Online Numbers from a few other countries (the UK is one of those other countries). Online Numbers from certain countries (Australia and Mexico are two of those) can't be used as Caller ID when calling telephones from Skype.

Online Number Always busy

Hi,
I have setup an online Number in Geneva, Switzerland last week. After setting it up, I have tried to test it by calling it but its always busy. I wonder if there is an activation period for such numbers. If this is so, can any body tell me how long it takes for online numbers to become active?
Kind Regards.

Hello Omer and welcome to the Skype Community Forum
Your Online # should become active within a few minutes of purchase. If it didn't please
first check that your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.
Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.
Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone".
Save and wait for 5 minutes.
Log out from your Skype account and log back in.

Online Number always busy? And is NOT

I'd bought an online number. I've been testing it calling from another number, and it gives me BUSY sound while it is not busy, and on another moment it gives me the message "the person you are trying to reach is unavailable right now........ " and again THAT is NOT TRUE. I am there!.
Why? and where is the skype technical area to get a proper answer and a solution to this problem?

Busy signal means your call preferences are set to receive calls only from online contacts. Problem for me os on MY side it says set to receive calls from everyone bit on THEIR side it says contacts only. And no one there is allowed to change it :/

Online Number is not forwarding calls to my mobile

Hi,
I have gone premium and selected unlimited landline for Australia. I have then bought an Online Australian Number. After setting up call forward to my Indian Mobile Number the calls are not getting forwarded, although the calls appear on Skype Client when I'm online. I have tried setting privacy and all that stuff, but it yet does not work. In the Call Forward tab following message is displayed: "All calls forwarded to phones covered by your subscription are included at no extra cost. Other destinations will be charged at our low per minute rates."
Am I missing something? Do I still need to buy credit? Thanks so much,
Kind Regards
Prabh

Hello,
Skype Number enables you to receive calls on your Skype account and the caller will be charged local rates.
To receive calls to your Skype Number, you should be online on your Skype application, or you can enable call forwarding and voice messaging. And also, please make sure that you are signed in to only one device.
Please make sure that you have set up your Privacy Settings to "Received calls from anyone."
Sign in to Skype.
Tap the menu icon .
Select Settings.
Go to Receive calls from option.

Online number in Israel - when?

When we can enjoy this service also in Israel?

I have yet to encounter one provider of India virtual numbers so if Skype has them I'd be surprised
Let me know if you have any questions on Skype online numbers or just virtual phone numbers in general.

BAPI returns less number of records when called from WebDynpro

Hi,
We have a BAPI which updates some tables and then bring back output in the form of a table.
When we execute BAPI from R/3 we get all records. When we execute the BAPI using webdynpro, for the same input values, we are always getting 22 records. This count remains same always.
When we had put a breakpoint in the BAPI and tested it using webdynpro, we get few more records. Wondering what is the prob?
Any help?
regards,
Shabeer

Hi,
Are you using the same user when running the BAPI form R/3 and from the portal?
We had a similar problem when the user from the portal didn't have the necessary authorizations.
