Online number previously used by dodgy company

Just purchased a new online number couple of days ago.
Today I got a call through that number demanding where their product was. Huh!
Did a search using my new number and a company came up that sells products online. That number is everywhere.
It is no good for me. How do I cancel/change that number.
I need a quick fix for this as my site is about to go live.
Thanks
Adrian

Hi, Cheesecake87, and welcome to the Community,
Please do contact Skype Customer Service to request this subscription be cancelled and refunded, so you can start with a different number.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
Regards,
Elaine

Online number already used by someone else

Hello, I am in New Zealand. I purchased an online number and when I did a test call, I realised it is assigned to someone else who previously used skype but has now transferred it to another SIP service. Can anyone help?

Let me guess, no one answered to you? I have the same problem, no answer....

PS cs4 invalid serial number previously used on another computer

Hi i installed PS CS4 on a new computer and it wont take the serial numb. says its invalid.

Fellow users can help you understand the problem (likely that you've used up your 2 available activations), but you'll need to call Adobe Customer Support to resolve the issue.

Online number is not showing up in caller id

I live in the U.S. and my online number is not showing up when I call someone. Is there a way to fix this

I am constantly having problems with clients not seeing my phone number when I call. Why is this happening? Your answer here was very short and not very specific as to how to resolve this. I have been fighting this for more than 2 months now but I keep paying for a number that people can't see when I call them.
I'm sorry I did not give an answer that met your level of specificity. The original poster did not post the number he/she was trying to call. This is also a worldwide forum mostly inhabited by Skype users along with some Skype employees who post from time to time. I'm not a Skype employee, just a user who makes use of many features of Skype to avoid paying more $$$ to the telephone companies.
When Skype users have Online Numbers, these numbers are not automatically used as Caller ID when calling telephones from a Skype account. This way, the Skype users hold the control over whether or not to have a working phone number show up as Caller ID. Most who have Online Numbers want them used as Caller ID, but the users - and not Skype - get that level of control. In my opinion, that's a good thing.
The surest way to see the current Caller ID settings for your Skype account and change them is to log into your account on the Skype web site (use the "account" link on the upper-right corner of the Skype web site). When you log in, you will see the current settings, and the link to make changes. If you have Online Numbers that can be used for Caller ID, you can select them. Online Numbers in the USA and the UK are examples of the numbers that can be used as Caller ID from Skype, and numbers from Mexico and Australia can't be used as Caller ID. You also have options to use different numbers as Caller ID for calls to telephones in those countries, and have a "default" number used for Caller ID anywhere else. In my case, my default number for Caller ID is my US Online Number, and my UK Online Number is used as Caller ID for calls to the UK.
Even with these settings properly configured, there are still occasions where your number (an Online Number, or a mobile number which has gone through the verification process with two SMS messages) will not appear on the Caller ID displays of the phones you call. This is generally outside the control of Skype. If you are using a number that is not a "local" number in the country that you are calling, it too may not show up on the Caller ID display. Instead of posting on the community forums, using the Support link at the top of this page may be the better way to go. You can go through the knowledge base trying to find a solution, and end up opening a support ticket with Skype. If you have a subscription, you may be able to go to a live chat with Skype support.

I am looking to buy the Freetalk Connect Me adaptar for my phone so I can call people I know on an ordinary phone. If I buy the hardware that comes with the year subscription for unlimited calls to US/Canada, do I also have to buy an online number to use it?

Online Number enables you to receive calls from phones: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA331/What-is-an-Online-Number
If you are not expecting to receive any calls from landline or mobile phones to your Skype account then you don't have to buy it

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.

Can I use a current number as my online number?

Hello!
I'm interested in setting up an online number for my business, and I already have a phone number being used as my work number. If I could switch my current number to the online number, that would be amazing so that I don't have to change my number. Is that possible? Thank you!

I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport ExtremeBase station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switche to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connecte as ABS keeps trying to dial up(the phone number)

I am trying to setup wireless using my old dome Airport Extreme Base station. I had previously used it about 5 years ago when I had dial up but have now switched to DSL with Windstream. I can not get connected as the ABS keeps trying to dial up(the old phone number). When I tried to change my network settings an annoying popup window says "your network settings have been changed by another application'. I have no idea what the message is all about and when I close this window it immediately pops up again and prevents me -as far as I can tell -from changing my Airport settings? I need advice on how to get this wireless setup done. Maybe a reset? or something else? I have the DSL phone line plugged into WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem and then the ethernet (yellow) wire from the WIndsteam Seimens Speedstream 4200 modem to the port on the dome that is a circle of dots.

1)Can you explain how using the AEBS as a bridge will work with the Seimens Speedstream4200?
As a bridge, the AEBS will basically become a wireless access point. This will allow the AEBS to provide a wireless network, but still allow the Speedstream to provide NAT & DHCP services for the wireless clients connected to the AEBS. If the AEBS was left as a router, you would have a double-NAT condition which isn't necessary bad in itself, but would create a second subnet. That would make it more difficult for clients connected to the AEBS to access clients connected to the Speedstream.
2) Is there a link that will guide me through the steps to set the AEBS as a bridge?
You can easily reconfigure the AEBS as a bridge using the AirPort Utility.
ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBS > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
3)Can I just connect the DSL phone line to the AEBS and eliminate the Speedstream4200?
Unfortunately no. The AEBS does not have a built-in DSL modem. You will still need the Speedstream to provide this function.

Previously taken Online Number availability

A couple of years I registered an online number with my subscription which I used for my business but for some reason all three of my numbers disappeared at some point and with them the number that I had used in a few hundred business cards as well.
When I tried to get the number back it was coming up as unavailable in the search. I called Skype support and was told that it wasn't up to Skype when the number would become available again and was given a very vague 6 months, a year... who knows kind of answer. I was told to keep on checking and that it would become available at some point.
I have been checking since and although the number is still unreachable it is also not available either. I reckon it must be well over a year by now.
Is there any way to retrieve that number and finally get it again?
Also, will there ever be more cities/towns added to the online numbers here in the UK? As a business it would be really helpful to have a local number rather than a city/town 50 miles away!
Thanks,
Theo

HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any

HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.
