Online number on Skype handheld phone?

Hi, 
Can I take calls made on my Online Number using Skype 3 MobilePhone? Is there any cahrge for that or do they count as just calls made to my Skype account (and no forwarding cahrges apply)?
Thanks

Hi,
I recently downloaded the skype app to my iphone 4 and have then bought a 3 month subscription so i can have a landline number. I have people calling me on it from the same suburb i have put on the account and it is costing them std rates. shouldn't it be a local call cost?
It all depends on what country you are in, where your callers are, what telephone carrier serves those callers, and what your number is.  It is possible that callers could be liable for call charges, depending on their location and your number. 
Please don't post complete numbers here.  If you post any numbers, please replace the last 4 digits with XXXX.  Someone here may be able to do some research, depending on the situation and how much information for the telephone carrier your callers use is posted online.  Otherwise, they - or you - would need to contact that carrier to ask why they are incurring STD (long-distance) charges instead of the calls being treated as local calls.

    Hello,
    I need to get a Skype Online Number to Japan. and I need to divert that call to Sri Lankan Mobile phone. I will pay for the charges which occurs in forwarding.

    I need to get a Skype Online Number to Japan. and I need to divert that call to Sri Lankan Mobile phone. I will pay for the charges which occurs in forwarding.
    If you are a resident of Japan, you can get a Japanese Online Number from Skype.  Once you have that, you can have calls to that number - or any call to your Skype account from other Skype users - forwarded to the Sri Lankan mobile phone.  You will need to purchase Skype Credit to cover the cost of those calls out to the Sri Lankan number.
    If a person from some other country call my Online Number in Japan, can i anser this call using skype.
    Even if you have call-forwarding enabled, you can still answer calls when you are logged into Skype.  Then you are not having to pay for the cost of calls forwarded to that Sri Lankan mobile number, for example. 
    Good luck!

  • Move online number to skype manager

    Hello
    i buy online number in skype and i want move this number to skype manager and use in sip service that i connect my pbx to this sip trunk for receive call and outgoing call.
    please help me.
    best regards

    To be more precise: I do have two Skype online numbers purchased in my private account - can I move these to the Skype Manager account?
    I need a smooth transition in order not to loose the numbers and thus be forced to communicate new numbers everywhere.
    Any help/hint appreciated.

  • Online number vs skype number

    what is the difference between online number and skype number please?

    UK English here, and in July 2015 it still (?) says "online number" for 12 months and "Skype number" for other periods. Do you test any languages other than US English? It sounds like you should assume this error (assuming it really is an error) exists for all langauges and update them all. It makes me very reluctant to buy. How do I know that there isn't some term and condition somewhere that says "X is valid for Skype Numbers but not Online Numbers" or visa versa? How do I know that X months down the line, I won't find that I'm unable to do something I want to do or am charged for something I wasn't expecting to be charged for, and I'm told that it's because I signed up for an "online number" instead of a "skype number" and that "the posts saying otherwise on the forum were in error, the details are on page 9,121 of MS terms and conditions..." - I've dealt with plenty of companies who do things like this. 

  • Purchase of online number with Skype Credit

    I purchased $30, but I of Skype credit and went to purchase an online number with it, but I keep getting the same message to sign in to my account to purchase.  I am signed in, it says hello to me.  So the next thing I tried was to sign out of Skype completely and Quit it on the desk top, then sign in again.  nope same message.  I selected a special number for this and now it is expiring because I can't make skype take skype credit!  What so I do, time is short.  With the plan I purchased I was suppose to have live chat with skype to troubleshoot the problem, but I don't have access to that either!

    So here it is on the Skype website?
    Call phones and mobiles
    Call phones and landlines, anywhere in the world, from just 18.3 cents per minute (21 cents inc.) With Skype Credit or even cheaper with a subscription.
    Question: if I buy an online number and a 3 month subscription, what does it cost to call per minute (in Sweden only) or do I call for this (Fair Usage Policy), see below.
    Fair Usage Policy?
    Calls to phones and mobiles and Skype To Go *- call your subscription and is subject to fair usage limit of 10,000 minutes per user and maximum of 6 hours per day.

    Thank you,

    I could not see a way to get an online number within Germany as it states you must be a resident, with an address. So, not available for a tourist.
    Are there alternatives?
    If I got an Australian Online Number, and then travel to Germany... would my friends be charged international rates when they call me?
    Alan
    If the friends who would call an Australian Online Number are outside Australia, they would be charged for an international call.  An Australian Online Number could be useful for your friends or family that are in Australia.  Depending on where they are in Australia, those calls could potentially be considered local calls.
    If your German friends are not able to get on Skype, another option may be to get an Online Number in a different European country.  Skype has Online Numbers from other countries where there is no requirement to be a local resident (the UK is one of them).  This would still be an international call for your German friends, but maybe not as expensive to call somewhere else in Europe vs. Australia.

  • Trying to call online number on skype set up mobil...

    I already have skype set up on my three network mobile. If I try to call skype online number from other phone, is it coming to the skype that already set up on the three network mobile or my computer?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. In Skype Manager the online number was deactivated 10 days ago at its year end. I added lots of credit today and allocated 100euros to the account that holds the de-activated number - but it still asks for more credit (it costs 50euros to reactivate for a year).
    Question - How do I get Skype Manager to recognise that there is enough credit allocated in the account to reactivate the number?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Skype sold me an online number managed by another ...

    It has been a couple hours now, but the online number that skype sold me is still not routing properly (e.g. it routes/forwards to another person), I've called that person and they've told me that the number was transfered from skype to a different provider a while ago.
    So now I am out $30, with an unusable number, how can I fix this?

  • My Online Number

     I'm furious and deserve credit. I've been paying for an online number for over a year on a 3 month basis so my friends and family in California can call me in Korea. When they call my number it tells them the number is not in service. When I call their cellphones it shows a different number every time so they often don't answer. WHAT AM I PAYING YOU FOR YOU IDIOTS? Why doesn't my local online number appear on their phone? I'm extremely dissatisfied with Skype. It's a joke! Finally why don't you have reasonable support? Why is their no phone number or email address we can contact? Is it because you don't give a **bleep**?

  • 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.

  • Online number without wifi or 3g

    Hi,
    I want to buy an online number and I was wondering if I will be able to receive calls trhough my online number without wifi or 3g service and just having the local operator signal (Verizon or AT&T).

    If you are asking if you can receive calls to your Skype Online Number through your mobile phone's number, you can do that.  You would have to configure call forwarding on your Skype account, to forward unanswered calls to your mobile phone's number.  You would also need to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription to cover the cost of the calls forwarded to your mobile number. 
    Since you mentioned Verizon and AT&T, I assume you are in the USA.  If so, you have a couple of options.  If you pay with Skype Credit, forwarded calls out to your mobile number are just like making calls to telephones from your Skype account - 2.3 US cents/minute, plus a connection fee per call.  Or you can purchase the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month, or with a 15% discount if purchased on a yearly basis (just over US$ 30/year).  Then you would have the option to answer calls on your Skype account directly, or have those calls go out to your mobile number whenever you're not logged into Skype.
    Hope that helps!
