Overseas call to Skype to Go number + Travelling

My skype account has one registered mobile number based in my country Singapore.
I'm travelling to New Zealand, South Island and will be buying a local sim card with calls, text and data.
May I ask if does Skype to Go still work? If so, please advise necesarry steps required.
Do I need to register the local NZ precard SIM card number?
Thanks!

Hello,
A Skype number is just a regular land line number. A call costs just as little or as much as the caller's carrier charges to call that number.

Hello,
You must always prefix your dial string with the international country access code (+1 for USA, +44 for UK etc.).

Skype-To-Go number in different location

Dear Skype enthusiasts and friends,
I thought somebody could help me on the following:
I have a UK mobile registered with my UK Skype-To-Go, and can call this Skype-To-Go number and it says: "Hello and welcome to Skype. To dial one of your speed dial contacts press 1. To make any other international call press 2", and like that I can make world-wide phone calls for little number. (On top of that, if I register speed dial contacts I also get a UK landline number for these, which is very handy).
I am now in the USA for a few months, and managed to change the location for Skype-To-Go to "nearest location" and have registered my US cell phone. My speed dial contacts have been updated to US numbers (instead of the UK landline numbers). I also get a text message from Skype which includes US numbers for my speed dial contacts in Europe, etc, and this is very handy and it works.
Now, my question is, I cannot find anywhere a US number which I call which then says "Hello and welcome to Skype. To dial one of your speed dial contacts press 1. To dial another international number press 2."
This is very important to me, as I can use option 2 and type in any number I like and it puts me throught. because I cannot find the above number, this means I need to continiously change my speed dial contacts (maximum 8 or 10 are allowed).
Any suggestions or solutions?
Thank you very much.

Address Book – 'Call with Skype' launches VMWare Fusion

Clicking 'Call with Skype' against a number in Address Book launches Fusion and starts up XP. I had the Windows version of Skype installed in XP under Fusion but have removed it using the correct Add/Remove Software process. Clicking 'Call with Skype' once again starts the dialling from the Mac version of Skype. Weird and unwanted..... Any ideas to prevent this?

Not a problem afterall, as it turns out. Only shame on me for being a newb.
Though during my puzzle-solving process came across the skype-plugins for the AB. They are located in /library/Address Book Plug-Ins/ folder and are not automatically removed, when uninstalling Skype.
Names: SkypeABDialer.bundle and SkypeABSMS.bundle.

I've tried calling my skype number

Hi I wanted to see if my skype number worked. I tried calling it from my land line from my house in France. I got an auto message saying the number is invalid. I tried with and without the national code. Please let me know how my friends and family can call my Skype number. I'm traveling starting from Oct 1 in Mexico, and I would like it to work before I go. Thank you.

Can I call a Skype to Go USA number from my Skype ...

Hi There,
I'm travelling to Europe (France & Spain) from India. Since Skype hasn't started the Skype to Go in India, I was thinking of going for a Skype to Go number in the USA, which my family will call from their existing Skype credit (through WiFi on iPhone). One Skype to Go number of the USA will be configured to call France and another to call Spain.Therefore, when someone calls my USA number (either through a landline in India or through Skype), it will be routed to my France/Spain local mobile number, which I will purchase on arrival. I wish to know if this (calling from Skype to the Skype to Go number) is really possible. If not, what can be the solution. Also kindly suggest any alternate route other than the USA which will be more reasonable.
One may ask why take so much trouble, and rather not call directly from Skype to the local France/Spain mobile number. The issue is that I wish to be accessible to other important people who do not use Skype, and will call from their Indian landlines to the USA (caling from India-USA on landline is quite reasonable compared to other countries). I will share my Skype to Go numbers with whom I want to be in touch when abroad.
I chose USA since India-USA on Skype/Indian landline is cheap & USA-Europe is again reasonable with unlimted packages on Skype pay as you go. Please get back to me.

Calling my skype number: sounds like modem, fax

When I got my US subscription and skype number, I tried calling it from another phone (att cell phone, and tried my work land line) to test it out and skype doesn't ring... It is just a weird modem, fax sound coming from the headset of the other phones. I do not even get a voicemail message from my skype number after the strange 'rings.'
I am using skype on my ipad mini. It is the latest app, too. I have tried calling when The ipad is connected to 4g and from my home wifi. I cannot receive any calls, ipad app does not ring.
Can still receive a skype to skype call, though. What's going on?

Is it free to Call a Skype Number from Skype?

Hello... My girlfriend is overseas and and she has a skype number. Since I have skype, I would like to know if calling her to her skype number from sjype will cost me money...
Thanks

Dear Readers,
To clarify Sailorchibi's reply, above:
Hello... My girlfriend is overseas and and she has a skype number. Since I have skype, I would like to know if calling her to her skype number from sjype will cost me money...
If you have a subscription in place to cover the cost of the call, then there ought to be no additional charges. If your subscription(s) will not cover call costs, then Skype credit would. However, I am curious as to why you would not contact her as a Skype-to-Skype call, seeing as you both hold Skype accounts, thereby incurring no call charges?
Skype would consider a call to a Skype Number as an out-bound call to a fixed line number.
Regards,
Elaine

HI,
I have a skype-to-go number. And though I can receive calls on it, I can't make any calls with it, which was the whole point of getting it in the firs place. Does anybody know how to resolve this and what could be causing it.
Few changes that happened recently, that maybe affect this
- staying at hotel, so got 'public network' checked for the internet.
- moved to Abu dhabi
Any help appreciated.
Thank you
If you are trying to call telephones, you still need to have Skype Credit on your account or pay for a subscription. Calls to telephones from Skype are not free, even if you have a Skype To Go number.
Skype To Go is an alternative for making calls when you are not able to use the Skype program or app to log into your computer. By itself, you do not gain any privileges for calling telephones. That's where the Skype Credit or a subscription come into play, covering those charges.

Can't Receive Calls to my Skype To Go Number

We recently purchased a year long unlimited calling plan AND a skype to go number.
Unfortunately, no one can call my number. Sometimes they receive a busy signal, other times it just beeps once and hangs up.
Can you tell me why this is happening and how can we fix it so that I can receive calls to my to go number???

If you mean "Online Number" please do the following:
First check your privacy settings are set to ''Allow calls from anyone''.Then change them to "Allow SkypeIn calls from Only people from my Contacts List".Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in. Change settings back to "Allow calls from Anyone". Save and wait for 5 minutes.Log out from your Skype account and log back in.

My skype caller id shows the correct number but al...

When I call using my skype online number, caller id shows the correct number but also displays someone elses name. How can I remove the name?

I have the same problem. Although I have my Caller ID set to show my Skype Number businesses tell me they're seeing area code 559 with a random/different last 4 digits each time. I just went through an account verification with a vendor and it was impossible to get them to verify - kept telling me I need to be calling from the number they have on file.
Come on Microsoft. There's no way to actually get support (for a paid product no less), let alone see anyone participating in support (hic) forums to resolve countless issues that others are reporting.

Receiving calls via Skype Online Number

I understand that I pay £10 for 3 months to set this up.
I understand that callers pay for a local call (so long as they're close to that local number)
I do NOT understand if I pay to receive each call and if so, how much?

Can't call my Skype Number

I've just purchased a South African Skype number and received all of the confirmation emails. The trouble is that I cannot call that SKype Number from my mobile phone - I get a pre-recorded message saying it's not a valid extension and that I should try again.
