Can I have 2 Online numbers on one account?

Hi,
I'm already using an online number for my account. I'd like to use a second online number for a home business that I'm starting. How will that work having 2 online numbers on the same account? When Skype rings, will it tell me which number was dialed? How do I switch between the two when making outbound calls?

You can have up to 10 Online Numbers on a single Skype account.
When you receive an incoming call to your Skype program or app, the program/app won't tell you which Online Number received the call. It will either show you the Caller ID number of the phone calling you (if that information is available), or you'll see a Skype name if the call was made directly to your Skype account name.
Online Numbers do nothing for making phone calls from Skype, except that some can be used as Caller ID when you call telephones from your Skype account. You would still need to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription in order to call telephones. Depending on where your Online Numbers are from, you can choose to use them as your Caller ID when calling telephones. Not all Online Numbers can be used this way. You can choose to use a single number for Caller ID when calling all telephones, or - if your numbers are in different countries - you can use certain numbers when calling certain destinations. For example, I have numbers from the US and the UK that can be used as Caller ID. When calling UK phones, my UK number is used as the Caller ID number. When calling anywhere else, I use my US number. You can log into your Skype account through this web site and make changes to the Caller ID settings.
If you don't want to make changes to your Caller ID settings all the time when calling telephones, to have different numbers show up on the phones you call, one option may be to use separate Skype accounts for each Online Number. This would mean that, for calling telephones, you would have to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription for each of those accounts. But you would be able to have some idea where the calls are coming from, and you can control what shows up as Caller ID easier if you use each account for different purposes.
For more information about all of this, you can click on links below: "Online Number", "Caller ID", "Pay As You Go", and "Subscriptions".

Multiple online numbers to one account?

I am wondering if it is possible to have a bunch of online numbers directed to a single Skype account.
For example, I'd like a UK number, and Australian number, and a US number, but I'd like them all to "point" to the same skype ID.
Is this possible?

Hello Bruce_zhao ,
Although a Skype Client can be set to have more than one online number associated with it. That scenario has a major drawback, namely it can only connect with one call at a time.
A solution for your issue can be found by using a PBX with Skype Manager and Skype Connect. For clarification, a PBX is simply a phone system what will allow you to connect to more than one phone line at a time. I am going to give you a couple links that should answer most of your questions on the two products I've mentioned above.
Here they are:

Hope this helps!

Multiple Online Numbers - Only want one forwarded

Hey there, am hoping someone can help with my query re multiple online numbers.
I have one Skype account, and multiple online numbers. One number is for a 'home' number, the other is for a 'business' number. I was hoping to set up call forwarding such that only the 'business' number is directed to my mobile phone. The 'home' number will ring on the computer or go through to voicemail.
Is this possible to setup? I am thinking I may have just spent money for nothing, as I may possibly have to setup a brand new account for my business skype and setup a new online number here as it appears you can only forward all Skype calls, not selectively.
Here's hoping I'm wrong and you can all help me out
Thanks.

Call Forwarding applies to the Skype Name that is associated with an Online number, not the Online number directly
so if you call forward a Skype Name that has multiple Online numbers associated with it, then calls to any Online number are going to be forwarded, as are incoming Skype calls as well
Regards,
Neil

Question about Online Numbers

Hello I have a big question before purchasing my online number:
I live in Toronto, Canada and my family is in Argentina.
Online numbers are not available for these 2 countries.
my question is:
Can i purchase an US online number for my family to call from argentina and pay international rate (as if calling to US)?
or Does this only work if the people are calling to a local number?
They want to be in touch with me and they dont care if they have to pay as international call. Thank you

I think this was answered in another thread earlier today:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Online-Number/Why-online-numbers-are-available-just-for-a-few-countrie...
Getting an Online Number closer to your family in Argentina, like a number from Chile, may be a good option for cheaper international calling from Argentina compared to calling a US number. Or get them to use Skype.
Good luck!

Online numbers not available in Tasmania Australia...

Many areas are available in Australia but apparently none in Tasmania where area codes are 0362, 0363 and 0364, the first of which is for the capitalcity and southern area of the state.
Is Tasmania likely to get this facility any time soon?

Unfortunately, the answer may be "no". Since Skype doesn't tend to give lots of advance notice when new areas are available for Online Numbers, you may want to bookmark the "Online Number" link below and periodically check on it. Tasmania is like Alaska, Hawaii, and a few other places on the US mainland that don't have Online Numbers. Maybe in the future, but not now....

Using online numbers

I want to use my Verizon phone in Germany to make business calls back to the US.
If I get a US online number, will Verizon treat my calls as local US calls? Or will I be charged Verizon's international rate for being in Germany when I make the calls?
On the other hand, if I get a German online number, are calls to the US considered international and therefore subject to Sype rates?

Remember that Skype's Online Numbers do nothing for making calls to telephones (except that Online Numbers from some countries are usable as Caller ID when calling telephones from Skype). You would still need to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription to use Skype for calling telephones. Click on "Online number" below for more details on these numbers.
If you are not using your iPhone's Skype app on a WiFi connection, you will probably be liable for roaming charges from Verizon while in Germany. This may not be a big deal if your office is picking up the tab for your foreign phone usage, but roaming charges - voice and data - while in Germany can be substantial. Remember that roaming data charges include the amounts of data sent by your phone to the Internet as well as data downloaded by your phone from the Internet.
First of all, I believe you would have to show that you are a German resident in order to get a German Online Number. There is no residency requirement for US Online Numbers. Numbers are available for most US states and area codes, but not for all states and area codes. When logged into Skype, this would allow you to receive calls on that Online Number without paying Skype anything else. If you are on WiFi, then you are also avoiding roaming data charges from Verizon.
Online Numbers have no effect on Skype's - or Verizon's - rates for calling from your phone. If you use the phone itself, and not the Skype app, then you will be billed by Verizon for those calls. If you use the Skype app while on a German mobile network, you would be charged by Verizon for the data usage to make that call. Skype would either charge you for the call at its per-call rates, or you would have to purchase a subscription to cover the call - for example, the Unlimited USA & Canada subscription at US$ 2.99/month or the Unlimited World subscription. Using your iPhone on WiFi would keep Verizon out of the picture, and you would still need either Skype Credit or a subscription to call telephones using Skype.
All of Skype's rates - either paying per call (click on "Pay As You Go" below for those details) or with a subscription (click on "Subscriptions" below) - are based on the destination of your calls. Your location when making those calls is irrelevant. Skype would charge the same amount to call a US phone number, whether you are in the US, Germany, or anywhere else using Skype.

You can't do that. With the two numbers on the same Skype account, you can't set different destinations for forwarding calls on those numbers.
If you wanted to have separate call-forwarding settings for your Online Numbers, you would need to have each Online Number on its own Skype account. This means that, for forwarding to telephones, you would need to purchase Skype Credit or a subscription for each of those accounts.

Skype Online numbers down? Major problems at Skype...

It appears from viewing the message boards and our own experience, that Skype Online Numbers are down at the moment. All calls to online numbers either don't ring or go through, OR the caller recieves the dreaded three tone "this number has been disconnected" message. What's up Skype? Is this to be expected regularly now that Microsoft owns you?

Just signed up for Skype and online number a few days ago. Online number not working, simply get a busy signal when number is dialed. How do you get something like this rectified from Skype. I don't see any way to contact Skype. Help!

2 online numbers from different countries

Unallocated online numbers

I got this account..lets call it.. the bleh skype account.. I allocated an unlimited subscription to this account then it should expire in April...and so when April comes in I deleted this account so that it will not charge me again. Later, Ive known that this account has been renewed without receiving any email notification from skype. They charged me another $19.92 for a three month subscription and yet I thought it has expired already. I am requesting for a refund now but until now it has not been resolved yet.... I did not renewed this account. I've wasted $19.92 without even using it, without any notification that this is expiring and that they renewed it.
Second, I asked for a chat support to help me fix an issue with an unallocated online numbers. Unallocated online numbers should never be renewed, they are of no use...I cannot even delete unallocated numbers, but I saw in the report that they charged me $12.05 to unallocated number that they have renewed, worse part is they charged me twice so it made $24.1 for just one online number. I am now asking for a refund and the customer support is just so terrible, they are saying the rule is they cannot issue a refund once the subscription has been allocated. Just look at this situation, should I not receive a refund even if they charged me twice in just one online number?renewed a subscription without sending any notification?where is justoce in this, I would say skype support should be changed..You are a service provider that is well known and yet you can't even provide even a single number for us to call or even a single email address? schat support sucks!

Is there a way to actually contact support since it seems the forums are not read? Or do I have to abuse my position as a Microsoft consultant to go above the heads of the support team and forward my issue straight to a director?

Two online numbers on one account?

I have a two-part question: One doesn't fit in this section but it
My roommate and I are considering using skype as our main phone number, is there a way to have one number for our area code and one for his family's area code so they can call him "local" running from the same account?
The second part of the question is:
Is there a phone that would be able to recognize which number is being called and then ring with different ringtones based on who's being called?

Currently, this would require a 3rd party application using the Skype public API or SkypeKit. This function is currently not supported by the Skype clients.

Hello,
Yes it is. Each Skype account can have up to 10 Online #s in the same or in different countries.
