Online number is busy when called

I signed up for a new online number today. Paid for 12 months. It works for outgoing cals, but when you call the number it's always busy.
I even tried to activate call-forwarding, but when called the number is busy.
Any ideas?

So do I have such a problem. very frustrated

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 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".

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 already busy

Got an online number a while ago but now we noticed another one already got the same number by his mobile provider? How is this possible?

Unfortunately, your request cannot be solved on the forum. Please kindly contact customer service. Thank you.

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.

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.

I get a busy tone on calling on my online number from any phone. I'm on windows 7, N8, iphone. Please help me out.

Hey Redritr,
Thanks for the question. iTunes purchases are billed to Store Credits first, before Credit Cards, as outlined by the following article:
When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.
via iTunes Store: How iTunes Store purchases are billed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582
It also may be that the iTunes Store is prompting to verify your billing information:
When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.

Busy line when callin my online number

Hi,
I have a skype number and I'm using Dual Phone. A while ago I've noticed that nobody can call me on my skype number - the line is busy. I found a trick on Skype pages that I should turn off and turn on the skypein calls from ananymus people (detailed describtion below). But it didn't work for me. Could you please help me? I donn't know how to fix this... Since couple of weeks nobody can call me directly on my skype number.
Thanks a lot
Lila
Describtion I've found:
Skype for Windows
In Skype select Tools > Options
Click the Privacy tab, then under Allow calls to my Online Number(s) from… select anyone, and click Save.
If the privacy settings were already configured like this, complete the two steps below to refresh the settings.
Go back to the Privacy tab by selecting Tools > Options and change the privacy settings to allow calls to Online Number(s) from phone numbers in my Contact list only and click Save.
Wait approximately 5 minutes then open the privacy settings once more and change the setting back to anyone andSave.

You may need to verify the Privacy settings related to Online Numbers. The Privacy settings are acessible from the Skype program on a computer, but not on the apps for mobile phones and other portable devices. If you just purchased the Online Number, or it has been renewed recently, the setting may have gone back to its default setting (not allowing calls on the Online Number to reach your Skype account). You can change that to allow calls from anywhere to your Online Number.
As for an online chat, depending on which Skype features you have purchase, you could be entitled to a real-time online chat with a support representative. If what I suggested doesn't help resolve the issue, you can contact customer service and continue through the option to refer to this forum. If you are eligible for an online chat, that option will be presented to you. Otherwise, you can post your request and someone will contact you via e-mail.

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.
