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.

    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 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?

    helloprogress wrote:
    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.

  • How use new skype online number to send sms from s...

    I want to send sms to cell phones and have my new skype online number show as the sender. But, how to get the 'code' to set this up? Does not seem to be working.

    This is not possible sadly, I have taken issue with this in Australia in the past. To recieve text messages you must set your sms number to your mobile phone number then verify this number by entering the code that is sent to your mobile. I am working on recieving messages on skype it is my thinking that it wold be very difficult to compete with skype as a normal telecom so they don't allow it.

  • Dropping merged calls - Online Number

    I often do calls where I patch in 3 or so people on my cell. One of those people uses a Skype Online Number. I will start calling people and merging the calls on my IPhone (as if I'm merging normally with other mobile lines and landlines). At some point, I will call the Skype Online number, which initially picks up just fine. Then, the Online Number will either not merge or drops shortly after merging.
    The problem could be the fact that I don't have Skype Credit, but I believe I don't need it if I'm dialing the Online Number as in incoming call.
    Any ideas?

    Interesting.  I found on another thread (click here!) that with the ConnectMe, firmware version 1.0.6.3 supports inbound caller-id.  So I checked and my devices says:
    "Current firmware version 1.0.1, last updated on 08-12-2011. From time to time the firmware of your device may be upgraded."
    I guess I will have to wait and see when the device does a firmware upgrade to see if the caller-id feature starts working on in-bound calls.

  • 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 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

    unleashyourgeek wrote:
    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.

    Hi,  I recently extended my subscription for an online phone number on Skype.  Howevermy online number is not showing up on other people's phone when I call them.  Instead, they get a random number when I call them.  It used to work correctly before the extension.   Please recommend the proper procedure to have my online number displayed on other people's phone when I call them.  Thank you.

    If people on telephones are seeing what you describe when you are calling from Skype, you need to make sure your Caller ID settings have your Online Number used for Caller ID.  It is possible something changed the Caller ID settings.  If the Online Number expired and then you renewed it, the expiration probably turned off your Caller ID.  Caller ID is not enabled by default, allowing Skype users to make that choice.

    When I am calling to any other phone using skype, my online number is not showing in the CLI of that phone.
    But When I call to my Online number, I can receive calls in my skype.
    This is happening after I extended my Online number.

    It is possible that the Caller ID settings got wiped out when you extended your Online Number.  This is, unfortunately, something other users have reported.  I'm sorry it happened to you. 
    To reset your Caller ID settings, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site.  Use the "Account" link at the top of this page, and enter your Skype name and password.  Then you can access your Caller ID settings, and select your Online Number to - once again - be your Caller ID.

  • Online number is not showing up when I make a phon...

    I renewed my online number but it is not showing up on the poeple I calls caller id.

    Skype Customer Support doesn't monitor these community forums.  Other Skype users do.  Please keep that in mind, if you aren't getting answers to questions posted here.
    Getting back to the question of Caller ID, one way to turn on Caller ID is to log into your account on the Skype web site.  You should see a link to Caller ID Settings, which is also at:
    https://secure.skype.com/account/caller-id/settings
    If you have certain Skype Online Numbers, you can select those numbers.  Numbers from some countries are not permiited as Caller ID.  If you have multiple numbers, Skype can use different numbers on Caller ID when calling those countries.  There is even a way to add a mobile number for your Caller ID when calling from Skype.
    For me, I have online numbers in 4 countries (USA, Mexico, UK, Australia).  When I call from Skype, my default number for Caller ID is the USA number.  When calling the UK, my UK number shows up, and the USA number shows up for calls to any other place.
    Hope that helps.....

    Does Skype offer chat support with a live rep to resolve this issue?  
    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.
