Porting existing cellphone number to Skybe Number

Can I port my existing cellphone number to Skybe Number?

Hi, AndersN-DK, and welcome to the Community,
Unfortunately, no; you cannot. Skype does not support what is called "inbound number portability."

Permission to Port an existing Skype number over t...

Hi All,
I would like to port our Skype 0203 number over to our new office telephone DDI.
Our new supplier says we need permission from Skype to do this, please advise who I need to contact and how I can get this done ??
Existing Skype Number : 0203 2*****
New DDI Number to Port to : 0203 7******
[Numbers redacted for privacy.]
"We need an LOA from the current provider advising that they are happy to port the number, the customer can get this from Skype and then we can advise of lead times etc."
thanks,
Lloyd

Hi, lloydgprice, and welcome to the Community,
It is my understanding that the receiving carrier does all of the transition work in the background. I have requested clarification on this, and will post back with information when I have news to share.

Transfer Existing Phone Number To Skype Online Num...

Can an existing landline or mobile service number be transferred to Skype as my Skype Online number?

It probably depends on which country you are based, though normally you cannot port a phone number to Skype. There are USA companies which, for a monthly fee circa $10, allow you to park your landline number with them and they will foward calls to Skype.

Using existing business number?

Hi,
We are looking to use skype business as our office phone solution, but cannot find any info on using existing numbers. Is it possible to import our existing main line number into skype, or would we be required to take a new online number as our main line?
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no way to port the number to a Skype online number, the only opiton for you is set the call forwarding between the existing phone number to a Skype online number,

Cannot access keychain. Passwords are all correct, "security code" sent to old cellphone number. Impossible to contact apple support.

I've been trying to access my iCloud's keychain for weeks now. Updating Yosemite somehow made my 13'' Macbook pro "log off" from the keychain and when I try to reconnect to the keychain, I am asked my iCloud password and then my security code, which I both enter successfully.
Then I am unexplainably asked to enter a "security code" sent to an old cellphone number of mine that is now deactivated. I click on "I don't have access to this number" and I am redirected to Apple's confusing silly-willy contact support website and find out that, since I am in China, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY for me to contact support.
Bottom line is, even though I have FULL CREDENTIALS to access the entirety of my iCloud's features(my passwords are all correct!!), I am stuck trying to access my keychain because of an unreasonable unsolicited and unwanted "security" measure, combined with a NON-EXISTING costumer support for China.
Apple is such a huge waste of time, I own an iPhone, a Macbook pro and a magic mouse, but one thing I'm sure of is, I will never ever buy anything else from this company again, because it just PRETENDS to sell the "perfect costumer experience".

Hi 2 stroke,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues setting up or using iCloud Keychain, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my computer. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number?

I recently updated my MacBook Pro to the new software, and now my iMessage and my FaceTime are not connected with my phone number like it is supposed to be. How do I get them to match so that I would be able to use my cellphone number on my notebook?

To reset any OS X program just go to the folder and trash the affected files.
Open a new Finder Window
Click "Go" in the above status bar
Click and HOLD the "option/alt" key and you will see "Library" now show in the above list
Click Library while still holding the option/alt key and a new window will open with all of your system files
Go to the preference file (NOT Preference Panes)
Locate a file named <com.apple.FaceTime.bag.plist>
Locate another file named <com.apple.FaceTime.plist>
Locate the file <com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist>
Drag the files to the trash
Delete the trash
Close FaceTime and iMessage if not already closed
Relaunch FaceTime and iMessage from Applications folder
This should reset the program back to default. You will have to put your information back into the program but it should work.
Good Luck.

I had an iphone 4s and it worked nice with facetime and imessage using my phone number but it was stolen on December so I buy a new iphone 4s using the same cellphone number but now imessage and facetime does not work with my number, it only works with my apple ID. Please Help me I speak Spanish so if my English is not ok I´m sorry about it.
Do you think that apple has to reset in their database of the old serial number attached with my phone number and that’s why I can´t activate imessage and facetime with my number in the new iphone 4s??

I understand all of this Meg; that is why I bought an Iphone; but never expected my phone not even give a at least a 24 or even 12 hours....I work 12 hour shifts and also would expect to have to charge each night but not twice a day or more. I am not always somewhere I can charge my phone.
Your points are true; however it doesn't help me......

Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline.

Hi, need help on resolving this issue with Verizon. Had Verizon FIOS triple play installed at my house about 12 days ago. HD Prime, 15/5 internet and Digital Voice landline. I switched from TimeWarner cable. I signed up online for Verizon FIOS and tried to use my current house telephone number when signing up. Next day I get a call from a Verizon rep telling me my order was lost even thou I had a confirmation number and that I would have to redo my online sign up.
I wanted to keep my old telephone number that I had with TimeWarner and port it over to Verizon. What I did to save my old house phone number was I ported my TimeWarner house telephone number over to an activated cellular Tracfone that I own. So I resigned up online and selected a new telephone number and the order went thru and I had my FIOS installed at my house.
What I have learned from talking with Verizon billing, is because my old telephone number that I had with TimeWarner had been originally given to me by Verizon many years back and then it was ported over to TimeWarner from Verizon that Verizon now won't port the old number back over to my house landline because they have already ported it out once years ago for me.
One suggested I create a new account, don't know it this can be done or not. I got a really good price on the FIOS Triple Play bundle I had installed and don't want to loose the great Verizon FIOS price deal I have.
Really frustrated at this point, being told before installation that I could keep my old phone number, spending a lot of time on the phone and then being told I can't do it after installation is completed.
Any ideas on how to get or make Verizon port over my old telephone number I have on my Tracfone now to my Verizon FIOS landline? I was told by a Verizon rep that it can't be done and they won't do it since the telephone number is my old Verizon phone number from many years ago that they ported out they won't port in back it now. Wow, talk about a "Can't do" attitude.
Any and all constructive input is welcomed. Thanks for reading this.

I need your assistance? Verizon won't port old phone number over to my new FIOS

Need your help on resolving this issue with Verizon.  I switched from COX cable. Had Verizon FIOS triple play installed at my house about 3 days ago. I signed up online for Verizon FIOS and selected a new telephone number because I was told online that my old number cannot be ported over to new FIOS.
Earlier today, I was contacting my friends for a new phone number and learned from them that it is violation of FCC regulation that the Verizon FIOS could not port my old number. They said that the Verizon should be able to port my old number... In my realization, I contacted Verizon customer service, but the rep said that the Verizon FIOS cannot do it because the installation is completed.
I wanted to keep my old telephone number that I had years originally with Verizon and then Cox.
Any ideas on how to get or make Verizon port over my old telephone number to my Verizon FIOS? Again, I was told by a Verizon rep or online during the sign up process that it can't be done and/or they won't do it.

Re: Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline

I have been trying for six months to get my old copper wire phone number ported into FIOS, and have heard nothing but excuses and failure. I am paying two bills, one for FIOS and one for the copper wire line. In a thread earlier this year titled "Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline", a user reported success in getting his old telephone number ported in to FIOS after filing a complaint with the FCC. Do I need to file a complaint with the FCC in order to get some action on this request?

The exact same thing has happened to me! The customer service reps keep saying there is nothing they can do until their system upgrades are complete and they can't tell me when that will be! I need my phone number back!!! Somebody please help with this issue!

Problems after porting Call Sign number.

We have today ported our Callsign number from BT to a VOIP provider as we are moving.
The ported number works fine
Our main number is now not working. All I get from "Inidian Telecom" is the network is working correctly & everything is fine. We can send an engineer but may need to charge!
I get a dial tone, the problem is when we try & dial out or dial in we get nothing but a bleeping.
Talking to the call center is like talking to a scripted brick wall.

Correct it isn't my number.
That would be great but we are not moving until the 12th of March and it seems BT have screwed up.
We are not taking the current number with us as we are moving 100 miles away.
I'm glad the broadband is still working
Anyway I can get the number reconnected until the 12th March?
I would not rely on the broadband to keep working, as if there is a cease order for it, then that will go as well.
The change of number to the "stopped line" would have been done automatically, as you are not taking the number with you.
As for the possibility of getting it re-instated, you would have to ask one of the BT Care Team to take a look on the system, to see what has happened.
If you would like to contact one of the UK based BT Care Team who moderate this forum, they should be able to help you.
They can be contacted using this link BT Care Team
They normally respond by phone or e-mail, within three working days, however you should get an immediate confirmation, with a tracking number.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.
