Online number showing as out of area and displayin...

I have a Skype number in the UK, setup for my local area code. When I call poele - even people in same areacode area, it is displaying not my number but "Out of Area".
Also, my number displays everywhere in my account with the +44 prefix. 
Does caller ID not work at all?

Yes I did that right away, following instructions.
Why does Skype insist on me having +44 in front of every number when I am dialling ito the UK? No wonder it would therefore show as outside area.
Help please?
Because Skype is an international service, which does not have a concept of "local calls" or "domestic calls".  All telephone calls placed from Skype must be dialed in the international format - even if the telephone you are calling is in the same country, city, or even in your own home or office.  Some telephone carriers do not able to pass along the Caller ID information, and in other places that is limited due to the local/national regulations in that area.

    Have you enabled Caller ID for your Skype account?  Online Numbers are not automatically used as Caller ID when calling telephones from a Skype account.  You should be able to go into your Skype program - or log into your account on the Skype web page - and enable Caller ID.  Note that not all Online Numbers can be used for Caller ID.
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/​caller-identification
    If you have not enabled Caller ID for your Skype account, callers may see numbers that do not look like a "normal" phone number showing up when you call them.  Depending on where you call, callers may still not see your Online Number on their Caller ID once you enable that on your Skype account. 
    Hope that helps....

  • Online Number Shows Up As Anonymous on People's Ca...

    I've had my online number for over a year and it has correctly showed up on people's caller ids. For the past week when I've called people, they've received a completely different number than my actual online number I pay for, or my number comes up as anonymous on their caller IDs. Please help. Thank you.

    (I should note from the start, I am using Skype for Mac version 2.8.0.866.
           It is the newest version that I find acceptable.)
    Hi Folks,
    This is what fixed the problem for me:
    (Leonei was the Skype Tech, on Support Live Chat)
    On your homepage, please click on Call Phones on the option tab below.
    19:16:23 Leoneil B. says,
    Do you see your call history below?
    19:16:44
    I see "Your recent calls"
    19:16:53 Leoneil B. says,
    Alright.
    Then below that, do you see an option for your caller ID?
    19:17:00
    Yes
    19:17:30 Leoneil B. says,
    What does it say?
    19:17:53
    Set up a Call Identification
    19:18:13 Leoneil B. says,
    Cool. Please click on it.
    Then follow the process and put your Online Number.
    I just need you to Enable it again.
    19:19:07
    It's not been setup before.
    19:19:23 Leoneil B. says,
    Oh, I see.
    19:19:55
    I have typed in the correct country and number.
    This is the result:
    "The mobile phone number that you entered is incorrect, please try again."
    It won't accept my Skype number.
    19:28:38
    In the original window-
    There is a selection for a Pre-saved number.
    But I have no pre-saved number.
    19:29:23 Leoneil B. says,
    Can you click that option.
    19:29:30
    Yes
    Ok. That came up with my actual Skype number. I verified that.
    "Display this number when I call phones"
    (It showed my number)
    19:32:37 Leoneil B. says,
    Since you've just set it up today, it might take 24 hours before it will be totally activated.
    19:32:45
    Bingo! It's back to working properly!
    Thanks very much for your help!
    19:32:57 Leoneil B. says,
    Cool.

    I have an online numer: xxxxxxxxxx. When I call out, the phone number shows the online number is xxxxxxxxxx. How can I contact with www.skype.com customer service to solve this problem. Thank you.

    I am having the same problem....did you find out what was it?

  • TS5185 When I receive a text or phone call, only the number shows not their names. And it have missing contacts. Help. This just started 2 days ago.

    My phone no longer displays the names of my incoming messages or phone calls. It only shows the number. Some of my contacts are missing also. I tried to deactivate iMessage and nothing changed. Please help.

    Are you syncing contacts over the air on your iPhone with an Apple iCloud account or with another email account that supports the same?

  • After activating my iPhone 4s, my phone number shows up as "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working. Any thoughts?

    After syncing my new iPhone 4s, my old iPhone is still working and the new one says No Service. When I connect to iTunes, it says my Phone Number is "n/a" and my old iPhone is still working.
    When activating initially through AT&T, I had no problems, but I've just never gotten service. Any thoughts? Could this all just be due to the servers being overloaded today?

    After waiting on hold for a long time, I talked with AT&T to determine that the ICCID and IMEI numbers didn't get changed in their system.  (I'm guessing lost in transfer due to the load on the system?).  They took down the info, disconnected the call (I had to call from the 3Gs - no landline), and then called me back on my 4s.  Problem solved.
    Hold times suck right now, but at least 611 calls don't cost you minutes and speaker phone is your friend

  • When I am traveling out of area and purchase and view a movie does it use data against my cell phone service?

    When I have purchased a movie for my iPad and I am traveling, does it use data?

    Any sort of Internet activity of any type, to any site or service, will use cell data unless your iPad is connected to Wi-Fi. If, however, you mean that you purchase and download a movie, either through Wi-Fi or via your computer, and view it later, then no, once purchased and downloaded it will not require any further Internet traffic.
    Regards.

    But couldn't figure out what to chose among 13 choices listed as New York City Zones 3 through 15.  Is there a difference in the Zones? I notice they all have the same area code - 347.
    There are some subtle differences, related to how local phone calls are billed for callers in New York City.  It would not affect how the Online Number works for you - you are not charged for incoming calls made to Skype's Online Numbers, when you answer those calls with Skype.  For those calling you, it can mean the difference between a free call to your Online Number and having to pay a small fee to call your number.  For someone calling from outside the New York City area, it probably doesn't matter which of those zones you use for your Online Number.
    I have not found a good concise online reference to those calling zone in the past.  I have found some rather cryptic material that shows which prefixes in each of the New York City area codes are in each of those zones.  The zones are defined by lists of prefixes within each of those area codes, and those lists can be substantial with the growth in mobile phones over the years.

  • Trying to Get Skype Online Number

    Trying to get Skype online number. I pick my country and state, but can't get past that.
    goes to step #2, and shows loading area codes, but then it goes blank and won't let me pick area code.  Already bout unlimitted monthly calling subscription in case that was problem, but still doesn't work.   Help!
    R.J.

    I have the same problem, after I choose my state, the area codes are 'loading' but none are displayed in the drop down menu. I tried this a few days ago as I was exploring this option and phone numbers for my area code were shown. So,  a  temporary glitch?

  • Can't extend my online number please help

    Hello all:
    I have purchased a online number(French one) on July 4 for 3 month
    It's going to expire on Oct 4 but I can't find out the correct way to re-purchase a new period.
    I have checked the FAQ already and it said I will find a "Online Number" tab on my account page and I can click extend but I didn't find it.(Please check the photo underneath)
    Skype staff could you please help me to solve this problem?
    My skype number is finalaeonaeon. I apply this account in Taiwan for a long period of time. 
    Thanks for help in advance

    Hello, I feel your pain having suffered a 3 or 4 week period of getting them myself. 
    These are called Kernel Panics.
    They are often a result of a corrupt OS or dodgy cheap RAM.
    The best method to solve them is to work through Dr Smoke's Kernel Panic resolution guide.
    You'll need to open the Optical drive tray at some point so here's two methods to try:
    ❶ Hold down the mouse button during start-up.
    ❷ Switch on/reboot
    After the startup chime, press and hold the keys <command/apple> <alt/option> <o> and <f> ( ⌥ ⌘ F O )
    At the command line prompt, type: eject cd
    Hit Return, the optical drive will then eject.
    Insert the Install disk.
    Type: mac-boot
    Hit return.
    The manual button/pin hole is present on the drive but you need to have the case hanging half open to be able to reach it in my experience...

  • 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!

  • Discount for online number available?

    Hello,
    I am thinking about purchasing a Skype online number for my UK business.
    At the moment, it says on Skypes website that there is a 50% discount for existing subscribers. I think this does not apply to me because this would be my first online number.
    But I remember that there was some offer a while ago where you were able to receive credit towards your other subscriptions when buying an online number.
    Can anybody please help and tell me what is the best and cheapest way to get the online number or if there are any promotions or discounts currently available , hidden on Skype's website??
    I apprciate your help!

  • Request for skype online number

    Hello Support Team
    On this 1st i had applied for online number but still it is pending and also single number order showing two time.
    payment deducted from my credit card, but yet order is pending.

    Visa
    £40.25
    January 1, 2013

    Visa

    Sad that this has yet to be a) answered and b) implemented - this would make things a lot easier for myself also, yet Microsoft fails to implement what potentially could be an easy solution and generate additional revenue streams.
