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.

  • My online number is always "busy" even when its no...

    I have troubleshooted and posted on here and changed privacy settings and upgraded to the latest Skype version and have been in a continuous online feedback loop w/ Skype desperately looking for answers.  MAD! 
    My 3 month online number does NOT work, and now Skype is sending me emails saying that I can extend it.  No way. I want my money back, and I want the number to work.  Do I really need to buy MORE credit in order to get an answer? will absolutely abandon skype.

    Hey Redritr,
    Thanks for the question. iTunes purchases are billed to Store Credits first, before Credit Cards, as outlined by the following article:
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance.

    It also may be that the iTunes Store is prompting to verify your billing information:
    When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records.
    In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.

  • Calling my Skype Number results in busy signal.

    I tested my Skype number from my cell phone an my landline, and I get a busy signal each time. I have to do a consulation via Skype, but now I cannot. I just updated my 3-month subscription and my account shows that the number is active. Should I get a new Skype number? I need this to work.

    Hi, MarthBee, and welcome to the Community!
    Please check this first: in the Windows version of the Skype client software,
    Tools -> Options -> Calls -> be sure that Allow calls to my Skype number(s) from... anyone is ticked or checked in -> Save.
    Please try your tests again, ensuring that your mobile phone is not already signed on to Skype at the same time.

  • Single Inbound Online Number to the Business or a ...

    Hi,
    Have setup a Business Manager account through my personal skype and then created a new business account for me so I can then create a Skype Business Number.  It seems when I go to create this business number it will allocated it only to this person?  Is that right?  Or is that number a main inbound number I can use for the business?
    We are wanting to get a main (single) Skype Business number that would go through to our main sales person but have the option to (if required) point it to me instead at times (maybe when he's on holiday).  Is this possible?
    Alternatively, we'd like to get a main (single) Skype Business number that would ring on all our Skype's somehow and then anyone can pick it up?  Possible?
    Thanks for your reply
    Dean

  • Change online number for business

    Hi,
    I've used Skype for many years now and have had a personal account for it. When I started my own business I associated a Skype Online Number as by business number to my account. Now the business has grown from 1 to 10 people and although I've created all their accounts, my business nr is still associated with my personal account. 
    This is an issue cause I don't want to receive business calls in my personal time and vice-versa. I've read in a post that Skype cannot move online numbers, but I find this a ridiculous statement.
    I don't want to reprint business cards and letterheads or change websites for something that is number portabilitity inside the same operator (which telecoms do for over 20 years).
    Can Skype provide a solution? If not then Skype is clearly not a business product.
    Thanks,
    Luís

    How is it all th other European community members have Skype numbers and yet Espana does not? There aren't any regulations because Europe assures us of interoperability of regulations. This must be down to 'the arrogance of' the individual telco operators in Spain. Incidentally these companies are basically BT (UK) and Vodafone (UK).
    Come on public how long are we going to put up with being continually ripped off by 'these money grabbing Corporate CEO sociopaths'? They won't change their behaviour unless their 'greed' is exposed at which point competition drives them to change. In this case it looks like a classic case of 'a dark conspiracy to maintain exclusion of' cheaper telephone calls.
    Has nobody noticed how Spanish connections via Skype are almost impossible at certain times of the year or certain times of day? The data channels are controlled and Skype traffic is restricted by the same companies who own the network infrastructure. Gone is the apparent principle of democratic free access to the internet.
    The usual response to high data demands is to build extra capacity. In this case the response is to keep the limited capacity and argue that traffic throttling is a necessity. Spain suffers from restricted data capacity which in turn impacts Espana's economic growth. Everyday individuals running startup businesses suffer difficulties that do not exist in other European countries.
    This is because of the satyrical greed of a select group of telephone companies? Well it is a question, one that everybody should start to ask. Why?  ...and why no Skype numbers for Spain?

  • Online Number: Individual vs. Skype Business Manag...

    I am the president of a small, non-profit professional organization who are experimenting with holding their board meetings via phone conference.  I am wondering if it will be less expensive for me to get an online number as an individual or for me to get an online number through Skype business manager subscription.

    IMHO. I think you need to determine if you would like a single method to fund Skype services to other Skype names you can create using the Business Manager as well as if you intend to share a Skype name with others.
    Sadly, if you intend to share a Skype name, those that have the password for that Skype name, who maybe need it to answer calls from that Online Number, could change the password to that Skype name, if that Skype namecreated by the Business Manager was assigned the Online Number from the Business Manager in that case, the password can be easily reset.
    That said. If that Skype name was not created by the Business Manager, an angry person having access to that Skype name and password, might change the password and then you maybe at their mercy to be able to answer calls from that "Online Number" assigned to that Skype name and/or access to other Skype services assigned to that Skype name. as well.
    So, there are some security benefits as well as single source funding/payment benefits to consider one over the other based on what you might want and do now or in the future.

  • Still cannot get an online number

    On IE9 on Windows 7, I cannot sign into Skype website at all.  It keeps getting a page not found error.
    On IE8 on Windows XP, I can sign in, but when it gets to the place to choose the number, the pull down area code is blank and I cannot proceed.

    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.
    Call forwarding is not free, so, is the call to the cell phone currently covered by a call plan or Skype credit?

  • Online number forwarding

    Seems this has been all over the forums, but I still cannot get an answer.
    I want a US online number, that, when called, forwards ALWAYS to my cell phone in a different country.
    I've bought an online number, set up call forwarding to that cell phone, whenever I'm offline, and it doesn't work. When I call the US number, I get  "receiver busy" signal.
    Also - can't I just link the US online number for good to direct calls to the cell?

  • Can I use a current number as my online number?

    Hello!
    I'm interested in setting up an online number for my business, and I already have a phone number being used as my work number. If I could switch my current number to the online number, that would be amazing so that I don't have to change my number. Is that possible? Thank you!

  • Online number problem

    can you check what happen?

  • FXO Trunk Group rings to a busy signal

    I have setup a trunk group for my (4) FXO ports. The ports are all setup with "connection plar 2000" since all calls need to route to a parallel huntgroup of which the pilot is 2000. If I cann one of the POTS lines in the group and do not pick it up, the call goes to a busy signal after about 3 rings. I have final destination set to a script. Not sure on why I am getting the busy signal.
    If stack up the calls on all phones the hunt group, the nex tell will route to the script just fine and not give a busy signal. Not sure if that gives any clues to my issue or not.
    TIA, Jim

    I will give it a try. Not sure what you mean about my english. I did see several typos and meant to say:
    I have setup a trunk group for my (4) FXO ports. The FXO ports are all setup with "connection plar 2000" since all calls need to route to a parallel huntgroup of which the pilot is 2000. If I CALL one of the the lead POTS line and do not pick it up the call on a phone that is in the hunt group, the call goes to a busy signal after about 3 rings. I have huntgroup final destination set to an auto attendant script. Not sure on why I am getting the busy signal.
    If I stack up the calls on all phones the hunt group by calling, answering them, and putting them on hold, the next call beyond the number of phones I ahve in the huntgroup does route to the script just fine and not give a busy signal. Not sure if that gives any clues to my issue or not.

  • Callers getting busy signal

    I have several people calling since yesterday who get a busy signal. I am not on the phone when they call and it doesn't ring. I wonder why this is just now happening and why it doesn't take then to my voice mail. None of these calls are showing up under missed call or recent calls so I don't know they are calling. Has anyone ever had this problem with the 3.0?

    I haven't called them yet and I hate doing that because it is so hard to find someone who knows what they are talking about.
