Online Skype number is in use by a local hospital

The Skype number I selected is apparently still in use by a local hospital. Whenever I make outgoing calls to my friends land lines or mobile phones, their caller ID shows the local hospital name and my Skype number. Also, when people call my Skype number, they get the local hospital, not me.
I called my Skype number from my land line and spoke to the hospital and they say that my Skype number has been in use at the hospital for over 20 years.
How can I get my number changed or correct this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cant cancel auto renewal of online skype number

    Cant cancel auto renewal of online skype number as per FAQ. 
    Its not cool that skype has changed the setting to require you to cancel the online number or you get auto renewed. Then as per the FAQ one of the links is inactive.

    Also I was wondering why my online number would not allow calls through.
    As per the FAQ it says that I need to enable all numbers to call my to avoid blocked numbers not in my contacts list. 
    Unfortunately the same link is u/s.
    I have been a customer for about 4 years and am now withdrawing all auto payments and moving to viber.
    I would also like to point out that since ios 6 the iphone app is unstable.

  • My Skype number already being used.

    I purchased a Skype number in New Zealand and rang it - it is used by a business.  What do I do.

    Hi, amcsp, and welcome to the Community,
    Please contact Skype Customer Service immediately to report this issue.  The subscription you have should be cancelled and refunded.
    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 items 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.

  • Online Skype Number

    When calling from my Skype number to an outside number, my skype number appears on my friends caller ID, as a totally diffferent number, or unkown.  This has only started to happen in the last three months. Also I've had the same number for several years. Why is this and can you fix this issue.

  • How to know Skype number is it used to call from?

    Hello,
    When someone calls my mobile phone from Skype, a random mobile phone appears as the caller ID. When he calls my house phone from a Skype, a random local phone number appears as the caller ID.
    What is the logics of that? Is it possible to determine if some phone number belongs to Skype?
    Thanks in advanced,
    Jaime

    Hi, Juanvizoso, and welcome to the Community,
    Good point!   I just checked one of my contacts from whom I receive frequent calls, and who also has multiple numbers in their profile, and noted the same thing. 
    When someone calls your Skype Number, you would indeed not be able to determine if they are calling you via the Skype account, or via the Skype Number.  This is by design and is normal, because the Skype Number simply provides a fixed (or, "land") line number for people to reach you, and you answer on Skype.
    The only work-around would be to separate out all of the numbers. 
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

  • Re: Renewal of Online SKYPE Number

    Hi
    I have been charged for 3 months auto subscription. I bought skype no for 3 months only and had used for around 2 months only. Still I have a credit balance of $7. However, credit card is debited with $18 today for another 3 months subscription. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx without any intimation to the customer. I have cancelled my skype number and as per refund policy of skype if we are not using the services, amount shall be credited back to the account.
    There is no customer service to share any grievances.
    Please help me how can the xxxxxxxxx debited charged be credited back to my account
    best regards

    Hello
    Your account shows that you have been charged correctly. A subscription to a product sets up a recurring payment. This ceases when you cancel the product. If you have canceled you won't be  charged again. Cancellation is effective on the next renewal date and you can use your Skype Number until then.

    My name is David and I own a Skype online number.
    I am from Italy and it is an Italian phone number.
    All of a sudden it stopped working and I need to use it for work!
    Please help.
    I was reading online that many other Italian users are experiencing the same issue.
    Is it because of your agreement with Eutelia???

  • Using a Skype Number on Multiple Devices

    I want to get a Skype number. I currently use Skype on my desktop and laptop computers. I will add the Skype Android app to my mobile phone. When I buy the Skype number, can I use it on all 3 devices or do I need a separate number for each device? Thanks in advance.
    -- Bob Lawrence
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks. This is what I suspected, but needed confirmation.
    An extension to this question, then, is do all devices (desktop, laptop, mobile phone) all ring simultaneously when a call is received?
    I suspect that it does and I can answer on any of the devices, but I want to be sure.
    I am really new to this, but in light of near future travel plans, Skype will solve numerous communications issues on several levels.
    Thanks again.

  • Using skype number

    I'm still a little confused as to using a Skype number. I signed up for one using my local area code. We are traveling to Costa Rica. Can my daughter just call that number (she is using the same local area code) from her cell phone (not on Skype) and it will be sent to us without any cost to either of us?  Can I only answer it on my lap top without cost or can I also answer it on my cell phone down there through the Skype app?  Does the cell phone carrier (Verizon) charge us for usage? Obviously I'm concerned about cell charges from Verizon and how to get around them for as little as possible. Thanks for any help that someone can provide. 

    You can use a Skype ATA adapter like the Freetalk Connect Me.  It's a standalone device that allows you to use your Skype account like a landline.  I use it with my wireless DECT phone system and I'm pleased with the quality.  It does not work or interact with Microsoft accounts, but is compatible with transitional Skype IDs.
