Phone contact numbers replaced with Skype number

I have Skype mobile on my Android phone. Everytime I get a Skype call, one of my phone contact numbers get replaced by the Skype number. I don't realize it until I try to call that contact and see that it has a 1-404- number, or when I get a Skype call and it says my phone contact's name on the caller id. How do I solve this?

  • My contacts all got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before.

    My phone was working as normal, then all of a sudden when I checked my text messages all the names of my contacts got replaced by their actual phone numbers. When I checked my contacts, it looks like everyone got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before. Even when I check my icloud for a backup it has the same issue. I don't know how this is possible and not certain as to how to rectify and get my contacts back.

    Hi Also iPhone, need update to ios 8.1.2 do this over WiFi Use same Apple ID & Password. Cheers Brian

  • Has anyone's contacts been replaced with someone elses contacts that you do not recognize?

    has anyone's contacts been replaced with someone elses contacts that you do not recognize and yours were lost?

    This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones.  When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account.  To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores). 
    Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account.  On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account (e.g., deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

  • Strange numbers calling my Skype number and leavin...

    I am getting frequent calls from numbers of format s121732062526477 and leaving video messages sometimes for over 30 min. I can't tell if they are draining my account.
    I supposed I could turn off voicemail but I got it for a reason.

    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.

  • Numbers replaced with X-Boxes

    Hey everyone...
    I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but the documents originate in InDesign so I figured it was a good place to start.
    I'm having an issue where I place a PDF of an article into a proof, and then export that to a PDF. When I (or anyone else in my department) views the PDF on our systems, they look fine. But, about 30% of the clients we send these to report that all the numbers (only the numbers) have been replaced with a box with an "x" in it. Occasionaly they send them back and I can see it.
    I've looked everywhere for a solution to this and I can't find anything about it. Does anyone know something to try?
    InDesign CS4, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Windows 7 (on my end)
    I've changed back and forth between old-style numerals and the regular ones, I've set subset fonts to both 0% and 100%.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    The placed PDF is created in InDesign as well.
    I layout the text in InDesign, export the PDF, place the PDF into a different InDesign file (the proof template we send to our clients), export that to PDF, and then the numbers don't show up in the placed document in its new PDF. Numbers that are in the proof template part of the PDF have their numbers showing just fine.
    Also, the typeface in the placed PDF (where the numbers disappear) is Adobe Caslon Pro.
    The typeface for the proof template is Arial (and the numbers always show).

  • Making calls with Skype Number

    First I was wondering if you need wifi to use a Skype Number?
    Secondly, how much would it cost to make out-going calls using the Skype Number (would I need Skype credits)?
    Thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, 761w. and welcome to the Community,
    Let us start by clearing up some confusion: a Skype Number is for incoming calls only.  The sole purpose of having a Skype Number is to permit people who do not use Skype to call you using a real land line number, so you can receive their call on Skype.   More about Skype Numbers here: Skype number
    So, a Skype Number is not related in any way to calls placed to fixed or land lines or mobile numbers.  You are correct; you will need to purchase credit or a subscription to cover the cost of these calls.
    You are welcome! 
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Short Code SMS with Skype Number

    Can I use Skype Number to receive Short Code SMS?

    Hi, Amirhameed, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, no; return SMS messages would be recieved by your mobile phone number.  More information here:  https://support.skype.com/en/category/SKYPE_SMS/ and in particular, here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA3591/sending-sms-text-messages-windows-desktop
    The person you sent the SMS text message to won’t be able to reply you on Skype. However, you can change your settings to receive the SMS text message replies on your mobile. To do so, select Tools > Options… > IM & SMS > SMS Settings and enter and verify your mobile number.

  • Call Forwarding with Skype Number

    I have a skype number and a couple questions. I have searched the forums and did not see this question answered. 
    I have an unlocked iphone and travel througout a different country every month or so. Each new country means a new sim card and a new number. 
    My question is: Will purchasing the skype world subscription cover the costs of each country (as long as the country is covered in the plan)? It states that the subscription only covers mobiles in some countries and landlines in others. So if I purchase the unlimited world (and assuming I am in one of the countries covered) will this be all I need to receive unlimited forwarded calls to my mobile?
    I hope this isnt too confusing. Thanks!

    Hi, Salsy20 and Joeriba, and welcome to the Community,
    Please check your call forwarding settings; Skype does not determine when to activate call forwarding based upon the number of rings; it is based upon an increment of time.  For example, in the screen shot, below, the default increment is 10 seconds (circled in orange pen).  You would need to determine and then experiment with how many rings = [x] seconds, or set to 0.  Remember, if you make any changes to any settings, click Save!
    Here is a link to the library of FAQ articles related to call forwarding:

  • All telephone numbers appear with Skype icon in li...

    Once I signed up for calling, all telephone numbers anywhere in my emails suddenly appear with the Skype icon in light blue.  How do I correct that?
    Post subject/title edited to reflect post content.

    Hi, fscott, and welcome to the Community,
    To turn off the telephone number highlighting, please check these settings:
    In your Skype software, under the Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab, un-check and turn off Skype call to: and call tel: links on the web -> Save.
    If Skype Click to Call is installed on your browser, click on the blue S and un-check "Turn number highlighting on."  You could always uninstall or disable this browser add-on.

  • 6.0 Dect phone won't connect with Skype or sign in

    I have a GE Dect 6.0 phone.  I have tried to Sign in over and over, and the the sign in fails over and over.  I do not have a landline.  Do I have to have a landline to sign in to Skype?  I thought I could use the Skype out only with Cable connection.  Please advise of what may be going wrong.  Thank you. 

    It may depend on the maker of the device.  I believe in most cases, you would not have to have a standard phone line.  It would seem to me to defeat the purpose.  As far as signing in, if you have a standard Skype ID, I don't see why it would fail if it works on a computer.  If you have a Microsoft created or Facebook created id (live:/facebook:, etc.) and the device does not have a Skype login interface designed for it (as of yet), using any live or facebook prefixes will not work.  Only a standard Skype ID should.

  • Can you contact the owner with serial number

    Hi!
    I found an ipad yesterday on the road (screen broken) and it is reset.
    It is locked with the activation lock.
    I wonder if apple can inform the owner of the device (can be tracked by serial number) so that they could contact me?
    BR
    Naga

    Apple can't and with the activation lock and broken screen the best thing to do is hand it in to the police.
