Online Number problems

Hi, I've purchased an Online number but it does not show on the calls I make. I would like to find out how I can place my purchased online number into my account.

I've listen to the message again:
It says: get your own free text number at text.com.
I went to this page and nothing happens..again, is there any friendly soul who can help me please?

  • Australian Online Number problem

    My Aussie phone number 08 9468 0017 won't work - people cannot call me.
    I have subscribed to this number till Feb 2012, and my account is not in arrears.
    Does anyone else have problems with a WA online number?
    Unfortunately I cannot get support from Skype directly, and I don't think this'll change in the future given MS's abysmal record.

    Strangely, I have just received a call on that number, - it seems to work from some phones and not others.

  • Problems with my online number from Mexico City

    Hello,
    My online number from Mexico 55 84 21 94 is not working correctly in Mexico City. When my family use a landline from MX to call me another person answer the phone call, but if they use a cellphone it works and I receive the phone call. That's really weird 'cause when I suscribed to the services I read that people can call me using a landline or a cellphone. Could you help me with this situation? Do I need another online number?
    thanks,
    Gaby
    thanks,

    Please follow these Steps:
    1. Only do Step 1 if you are on WIN7:
    Stop Skype.
    Be sure that Compatibility Mode is not enabled (right-click on Skype shortcut icon/launcher and select Properties >> Compatibility) - for Windows 7 users only.
    Try to launch Skype.
    2. If Step 1 fails or you are NOT using WIN7 do:
    Open an Internet Explorer browser, and go to msn.com, what happens?
    If it fails, Please do the instructions below. Using your Windows Control Panel, please do:
    Internet Options -> Advanced Tab Please click the "Reset" button.
    Then, Go to the Connections Tab.
    Make sure that the only checkbox checked is "Automatically detect settings", then click the "OK" button.
    Close any open Internet Explorer browser windows, open a new IE browser window and try msn.com again. What happens? If it works, please stop/start Skype What happens?
    3. If Step 2 does NOT solve the problem:
    Please install the normal version using the instructions below:
    You can install the Current release by doing this from the top of this page:
    Get Skype -> Windows -> Choose the regular release, please do NOT remove what you already have installed, simply, install over.
    These instructions have worked for many and is the quickest thing to try to resolve issues such as this.
    Also, what operating system are you on?
    What is the Make and Model of your computer?
    Do you have all Windows updates and updates to any hardware devices by the manufacturers?

  • Trying to make my old 3G iphone an iPod for my 4 year old grandson. I have found lots of ways to do so online. PROBLEM: when I charged it and turned it on it only flashes many different languages. Will only allow me to call emergency numb

    Trying to make my old 3G iphone an iPod for my 4 year old. I have found lots of ways to do so online. PROBLEM: It's been off for 2 years. When I charged it and turned it on it only flashes many different languages. Will only allow me to call emergency number. Any ideas how I can log on to it?

    Im pretty sure what you are looking at is Set up Assistant where it shows different languages on the slider. If I am right then just slide to unlock and follow the prompts to choose your language, country etc.

  • Problem setting up an Online Number

    I've tried to order an online number. About 1 hour later I received the message "Unfortunately, we can't set up an Online Number for you in Germany." Since my paypall account has already been charged and the amount has not been yet refunden I dont know what to do in the next step. Is there any hotline I can adress to?
    Solved!

    Hallo,
    you need to have a valid german residence address to apply for a german Online number. The reason your order has not been refunded yet is because you have the possibility to correct the address you've given and resubmit it. Please check your web account page to do so: www.skype.com/go/myaccount

  • Problem with renewing my online number

    Greetings
    I have tried twice in the past week to renew my online number, and on both occasions skype has refunded my payment 2-3 days later. There is no explanation for the cancellation, I just receive an automated email which appears as if I have requested the refund, as it contains this line: 
    "You'll no longer be able to use the service you requested the refund for."
    I do not understand why skype keeps refunding my payment and cancelling my subscription for this product ... has anybody else experienced this before?
    Thanks.

    Firefox is completely free software. There is never any subscription fee or other charge from Mozilla.
    What exactly is prompting you for payment?

  • Online Number isn't showing up on people's caller ...

    Is there any way to fix this?  My online number works because I recently paid for it and it expires May 20.  
    I know the number works because when I call myself, it rings but displays the "unkown number" problem.
    Let me know if there's a way to solve this please.

    Update on this issue. I had another support chat:
    ... (me)
    Hi, My Online Number Caller ID shows up when the call is received on a mobile phone, but not on a BT landline (in the UK). My Online Number area code is Cambridge (01223) - is it possible Caller ID would work with BT if the Online Number area code was a different area, like London (020)?
    ... (support)
    If caller ID isn’t displaying, it’s possible caller ID isn’t supported by the local telecommunication provider for the country you are calling. Caller ID is passed along with a call, from Skype through the local telephone companies, up to the mobile or landline number you dialled. If one of the links in the chain does not support caller ID properly, a default number or no number at all will be displayed instead. In most countries, caller ID is supported by the local providers and the number should display as normal. However, there are a few countries where caller ID can be less reliable or it does not work at all.
    ... (support)
    Thank you for waiting. Upon checking this. We the Online Number is currently not supported in BT landlines. We are currently working with the providers so that we can provide our services to most of our clients across the globe. We understand the inconveniece this have cause and we apologize for this. We thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to make Skype even better. 
    ... (me)
    Thanks. When will Caller ID work with BT landlines?
    ... (support)I cannot guarantee a specific time, but we're working on it. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
    ... (me)
    Please escalate this issue. In the UK, BT has 15.8 million landline customers. Sype Online Number in the UK is useless for business until Caller ID works.
    ... (support)
    Will do.
    ... (me)
    Thanks. Can I copy some of this information to the forum for others to read?
    ... (support)
    Yes you can.

  • Online Number Not Working

    I bought an online number and to the best of my knowledge it is activated.  When I call it, it will just ring and go to voicemail, but it does not ring on my computer or mobile phone (android with skype installed and running).  Please help me remedy this.  I have been to the FAQs and have changed the settings to receive calls from anybody, and even switched my preference back to "contacts only" for five minutes and then switched it back to "anyone" again, but to no avail.  I still cannot receive calls on my computer or android phone, I can only listen to voicemail.

    I have the same problem. I was on skype for over an hr last nite chatting trying to fix problem with no results.
    When I call the online # from my cell it rings but not on puter. My sons tried to call with the same problem.
    When I call my son on skype I cannot hear it ring but I hear him when he comes on the line.
    I dont know what to do next
