Only Person to Use my Skype Number is Blocked

How do I unblock the one person who will use my Skype Number? He tried to phone me, and suddenly a female voice started talking so fast I could not follow what she said, and then the call ended. Now my friend cannot get through on my Skype number. What on earth has happened, and how do I get Skype to fix it?

Hello,
No - it's not the case. A Skype Online # is for your contacts to call YOU. (inbound calls). You can't make outbound calls from an Online #. Details here:  Online number
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

  • Use a skype number nd connect to more than one sky...

    can i use a skype number and connect this to more than one skype account. or can i create a group of skype accounts who can pickup the call?

    no, a Skype Number is linked to a single Skype Name
    calls to a Skype Name can, however, be forwarded to as many as three other numbers or Skype Names -- whoever answers first gets the call
    incoming Skype calls can only be forwarded once using Skype

    Hi, Grannyrosie, and welcome to the Community,
    Please remember the purpose of a Skype Number is only for people to call you - a Skype Number is a fixed or land line number, and you answer the incoming calls on SKype.  You would need a Skype subscription or Buy Skype credit in order to place calls from Skype to fixed or land line numbers and mobile numbers.

  • HT201304 I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks

    Hello I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks
    Ps what difference does it makeo

    It's your choice. If you are the only person that uses the iPad then it's probably not necessary, but, for example, if you think that you will never make in-app purchases then you could disable them via Restrictions so that you can't accidentally make them.
    In terms of the difference that it makes, then you can use it to hide some of the built-in apps e.g. Safari, App Store (via 'Installing Apps') etc, prevent apps from being deleted, or hide some of your content.
    But if you do set restrictions then remember the passcode that you use for it - if you forget the restrictions code then the only way (unless it wasn't in place when you last backed up) to remove it is reset the iPad back to factory defaults.

  • Can I use a Skype number with PAYM?

    Can I use a Skype number with PAYM?
    http://www.paym.co.uk

    a Skype Number is just a phone number, callable from anywhere in the regular phone network
    a Skype Number in Japan should eliminate (or at least minimize) the cost to the expected callers
    Skype does not currently support the reception of SMS texts
    you can have as many as 10 Skype Numbers associated with a given Skype Name, and they need not all be in the same country

  • Using a Skype number in another country?

    Hey all, take a look at this link:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA247/how-much-will-it-cost-my-friends-to-call-my-skype-number
    Im in Australia and will be travelling overseas soon. Can i buy a Skype number with an Australian area code and use that in another country, e.g. Thailand. 
    More importantly, wouldn't this mean that my friends calling me from Australia would only be calling me on local rates, since I am essentially tricking the system by pretending I am in Australia. 
    The following however suggests such a trick may not be possible : "Note that before you can set up a Skype Number for certain countries, you need to provide proof of residence." (although since I am in Australia at the moment and a resident, it shuldnt be a problem for me).
    Just seems to good to be true.
    Thanks

    this only applies to CERTAIN countries (the majority of countries where Skype Nunbers are offered do not have this restriction) -- click here for more details https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA256/how-do-i-set-up-my-skype-number#4
    otherwise Skype Numbers work as you have outlined -- you get an Australian number that the expected callers will ideally call at local rates, and your signed in Skype client magically rings wherever in the world you are physically located
    buy a calling subscription before buying your Skype Number and you qualify for up to a 50% discount on your Skype Number (depending on the subscription length that you choose)

  • 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.

  • Can I use US Skype number while out of the country

    I would like to be able to forward my work phone to a local US skype number and answer while traveling out of the country. Is this possible?
    If not, how would I do this?

    Yes, you can use a US Skype Number while you're out of the country.
    Even if you're overseas your friends and relatives can call your US Skype Number at local rates. When they want to call you, simply sign in to Skype and answer the call when it rings – and you pay nothing to answer the call.

  • Skype Unlimited World - only 2 out of 3 Skype numb...

    I'm on one of the first Unlimited World plans that came out which included 3 "online" numbers (Skype Numbers). After automatic renewal of my subscription only 2 out of 3 Skype Numbers automatically renewed. 2 of them now says "this number is included in your subscription". The last one (also the most important one) shows "reactivate". If I click reactivate I'm presented with the option to either pay for 3 or 12 months extension.
    I'm not sure why I suddenly can't have that number renewed as part of my subscription and why only 2 out of 3 Skype Numbers were renewed automatically. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Steen

    Update: After a long chat with Skype support they discovered that the missing Skype Number had been detached from my subscription (which it has always been a part of btw). No solution was offered to reattach it to my subscription (that it was part of yesterday before my annual renewal took place). They did however offer me a voucher but I guess it will renew from my PayPal account next year (great...). Their reply:
    05:09:42 Kath****
    Thank you for waiting. After verification, I regret to inform you that we can no longer attach your Skype Number to your +45 36 99 ** ** to your Unlimited World subscription. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
    05:09:46 Kath****
    What we can only provide is a voucher for you to renew your Skype Number.
    05:10:49 s****
    Ok - so I have to go through this again next year because of an error in your system?
    05:12:13 Kath****
    Yes, we're really sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Illegal use of my skype number to make calls

    Can anyone use your Skype number to make calls?  I had a return call today from someone I do not know and they were returning a call they said I made earlier today and this person had my Skype number correctly. How can someone, or anyone for that matter, use my Skype number to make calls?  Is there a way to stop that? Anyone with an answer, please respond.

    Well, as I mentioned before, if it's a HH2 and the rear of it is in view of the public, then every Thomas, Richard and Harry will be able to see the wireless key and make full use of the Internet.
    Hi.
    Although possible, that's not entirely true. If the user has altered the wireless key, then viewing the back of the hub will not help
    But how many out there in BT land actually do change it?
    BT only prompt the user to change the default admin password if and when they first access the hub.
    At least BT thought about the label design on the HH3, keeping it hidden until needed.
    I reckon hardly anyone would change the wireless key to be honest , but I wonder how many leave them in a window ...

  • Can I use a Mexico skype number as caller id?

    can a mexico skype number be used as a called id when calling phones?

    Can I use my Skype number as caller ID ? So when I call someone to landline or mobile phone from my skype account, the skype number shows up in caller ID of person I call ? Also, you can't contact any skype employed person for advice ?
    This depends on where your Online Number is located, as not all Online Numbers can be used for Caller ID.  From my own 4 Online Numbers, I can use the numbers in the USA and UK as Caller ID, but not those from Australia or Mexico.  Local/national regulations or limitations from Skype's partners providing those Online Numbers may be to blame, if your Online Number(s) can't be used as Caller ID.
    To see if you can use that number as Caller ID, log into your Skype account here on the Skype web site (click on the "Account" link at the top of this page).  You should be able to go in and change your Caller ID settings once you get in.  If your Online Number is eligible for use as Caller ID, you should see it as an option (or maybe the only option) when you get in there.  If it can't be used, then your only option would be to use the two-step SMS verification process and set a mobile number as your Caller ID when calling telephones from Skype.
    More info on the Caller ID stuff with Skype is available at the "Caller ID" link at the bottom of this page.  Good luck!
