Possible mobile online number? need something to r...

hi everyone
anyone know any solution for me?
i love skype and i would like to join if there is a service just like online number, but in mobile version.
i need something i can receive SMS, so landline version of online number is not very working for me.
anyone know anyting i can do?
cheers.
Sam

can I purchase an online number & have calls forwarded to my mobile?
If so, will callers pay local rate charges?
Do I need to have the Skype app installed on my phone in order to recieve the calls? (I do have it installed, but it really drains my battery)
Would be be able to see who is calling and which number they're calling (my mobile number or the 'online number')?
Hi,
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. You can forward Online Number calls to your mobile:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/features/allfeatures/call-forwarding/
2. Callers pay local rates if Online Number is local to them. Online Number acts like a regular landline number and people calling this number will get charged the same way as they would call regular landline in that area/country. Keep in mind that for call forwarding to your mobile number you will be charged. It would be the same if you call your mobile from your Skype account.
3. If you forward calls to your mobile number, then you don't need Skype on your phone.
4. You should be able to see who is calling. Skype should forward caller ID as well if it is enabled by caller. As you know not everybody has their caller ID visible when making calls.
I hope this helps.
Andre

Online Number Need Clarification

Okay, normally if someone calls me off their cell phone, they are charged minutes by their carrier.
So, I'm going to Guam, I have a Skype Online Number, they call my number, do I get charged?
Do they get charged?
If it's from United States cell phone (them calling me) to my Skype Online Number, which is also from the United States, what is the charge?
I was thinking and let me know if I'm wrong...The only charge would be to their carrier (like Sprint) where they lose minutes off their cell phone, is that correct? Or is there a charge for them or me, to call my Skype Online Number?
Can someone please help?
Thanks,
Julia

Julia, you are right. You do not get charged additionally for incoming minutes after the purchase of the online number, independent of where you are! You could be on the Airplane or Space Station or a Oil Platform or on Land. Skype is only concerned with reaching you via the Internet . On the other hand, the caller foots the bill - be it airtime minute or whatever.
Hello,
Well - not quite! Our Skype Online # is a regular landline # and the caller pays whatever his/her carrier charges to call a landline #.
It's nothing to do with "minutes" (That's cellphone terminology).
An Online # only works on land - not anywhere else.
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, that is what I meant when I said "the caller foots the bill - be it airtime minute or whatever.". I am guessing my "whatever" and your "whatever" are the same. However, I did not make a distinction of whether it was considered as a "mobile" or "fixedlinephone/landline" connection. In the US, this does not make much of a difference, but yes, in countries like India (and others where skype offers Online-numbers), it does.
Secondly, I can confirm and have proof that the Skype-in numbers work above land, yes they do . Skype has no way of telling my altitude. All skype needs is that I am "reachable" through the Internet. I am connected to my Skype Peer Network and can communicate using TCP/UDP.

Online Number - Does it cost me per minute?

I just signed up for 3 months of an online number (for something like $12). When someone now calls me on this number, do I pay a per minute cost on top of the $12 for 3 months charge? Or is the $12 the only charge?
Thanks

My experience is that Skype does not make additional per-minute charges to the person who has purchased the Online Number. Beware, however, that the person dialling the Online Number may be racking up unexpected charges on their phone bill. In the case of South Africa, the "local" number Skype provides looks like an ordinary local number but they are charged at such a high rate that it would be much cheaper to dial the USA directly, landline to landline, than to dial this "local number." This is quite apart from the price paid to Skype get a local number. I cannot understand why anyone would want this service, at least for dialling from South Africa. What the per-minute charges are in other countries, I have no idea. Skype doesn't put any information about it on their website.

I need an online number for my local area code 606 Morehead Kentucky.
There are several cities surrounding mine with local online number options
but not Morehead, Kentucky. If it is possible, please add Morehead to your list
and I will purchase an online number. Thank you for your attention.

But couldn't figure out what to chose among 13 choices listed as New York City Zones 3 through 15. Is there a difference in the Zones? I notice they all have the same area code - 347.
There are some subtle differences, related to how local phone calls are billed for callers in New York City. It would not affect how the Online Number works for you - you are not charged for incoming calls made to Skype's Online Numbers, when you answer those calls with Skype. For those calling you, it can mean the difference between a free call to your Online Number and having to pay a small fee to call your number. For someone calling from outside the New York City area, it probably doesn't matter which of those zones you use for your Online Number.
I have not found a good concise online reference to those calling zone in the past. I have found some rather cryptic material that shows which prefixes in each of the New York City area codes are in each of those zones. The zones are defined by lists of prefixes within each of those area codes, and those lists can be substantial with the growth in mobile phones over the years.

Online number on three mobile.

Why am I not receiving calls to my Online Number on three mobile?

You are right, there must be something to adjust.
I feel your Online Number function will almost be there.
If possible, will you try:-
a. set-up in your SkypeMobile the call forwarding so that all incoming calls will be forwarded to your Blackberry phone.
b. make call from a landline to your Online Number and see if your Blackberry rings.

Hello,
I need to get a Skype Online Number to Japan. and I need to divert that call to Sri Lankan Mobile phone. I will pay for the charges which occurs in forwarding.
Also if above cannot be done, as an example : If a person from some other country call my Online Number in Japan, can i anser this call using skype. Thanks

I need to get a Skype Online Number to Japan. and I need to divert that call to Sri Lankan Mobile phone. I will pay for the charges which occurs in forwarding.
If you are a resident of Japan, you can get a Japanese Online Number from Skype. Once you have that, you can have calls to that number - or any call to your Skype account from other Skype users - forwarded to the Sri Lankan mobile phone. You will need to purchase Skype Credit to cover the cost of those calls out to the Sri Lankan number.
If a person from some other country call my Online Number in Japan, can i anser this call using skype.
Even if you have call-forwarding enabled, you can still answer calls when you are logged into Skype. Then you are not having to pay for the cost of calls forwarded to that Sri Lankan mobile number, for example.
Good luck!

Do I need an online number to get a call from some...

Hello,
Do I need an online number to get a call from someone in Europe who is calling from their computer?

Hey the question is what you want to do Sir.
Skype bare and free provides you means to talk voice and video from the application with all your friends who have Skype too on their side. Though you need to connect with them first. Add them manually or through some importing to your contact. There you have the basic capability.
Then you can add with credit or subscription (I personally think that the subscriptions now with 50% off yearly are absolutely great) a few services.
1. Outgoing voice calls to real numbers. They have plans for landlines and mobile with diff prices for diff countries. Again check the promos now for good deals.
2. Incoming voice calls from real numbers when you buy the online number. Alas its not available for all countries yet.
3. You can set your ID so when you call / outgoing voice, people can recognize you.
4. To go number that can let you call long distance and abroad as local call.
And more I guess.
I find their outgoing call quality as unparalleled to any other provider. Call quality from Canada to Israel is usually on par as land line and superior to Bell.

Do I need an online number?

Help I'm new to Skype, paid my subscription but can't seem to connect with anyone or anything. Do I HAVE to have a online number? I have tried to send messages but it won't work. Really getting peed off now,

You can answer the calls from wherever you are logged into Skype. This could be a computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc. that has the Skype program or app.

I wonder will online number suit my needs?

I am a Chinese student and am going to Washington State, USA. soon.
My needs:
I don't plan to buy local mobile network's plans.

if online number suits my needs, how much does it cost?
if it doesn't, are there any other skype solutions? & how much does it cost?
what about the unlimited world subscription of $13.99/month or the pay monthly subscription to calls in U.S?

An Online Number would cost US$ 18/3 months, US$ 60/year, or - if you first purchase a subscription for calling telephones - US$ 30/year. You can get an Online Number in Washington state.
To cover your calling to telephones, you can use Skype Credit or purchase a subscription. If you only need to call telephones in the USA (landlines and mobiles), the Unlimited USA (or Unlimited USA & Canada) subscription at US$ 2.99/month is a good way to go. The Unlimited World subscription would also cover calling to landlines and mobiles in the USA, but take a look at the list of countries and types of phones in those other countries first. For most countries, the Unlimited World subscription only covers calling to landline phones - not mobiles. But if you are only concerned with calling phones in the USA, go with the US-specific subscription.
Another suggestion... set up your Skype account and make those purchases while you are in the US, or somewhere outside of China. Then you are dealing directly with Skype, instead of having to go through Skype's Chinese partner. That will probably work better for you in the long run.
Good luck!

I need help on this subject also, apparently my online number expired too. However I did not know there was an expire date. My bank asccount is still charged for a number/service subscription that no can call me on. How do I get a new number? Is it possible to get my old number back since it is on my business cards? I have been using this number for years.
Online Numbers have expiration dates, which can be seen in the Skype programs, apps, and by logging into your account on the Skype web site (use the "Account" link at the top of this page). Unlike the subscriptions for calling phones, Online Numbers don't appear to renew automatically. You can have a subscription that renews automatically, which sounds like what happened to you. Subscriptions and Online Numbers are not tied together, except in one small way - certain Online Numbers can be used as Caller ID when calling telephones from Skype. Other than that, there's no link between the two.
The only way you can get that number back is if it is shown as available when attempting to purchase a number. You'd have to select the country, state/province, and city/area code. Then you can attempt to search for the number you previously had. It is possible that the number has been reassigned, or is not available for some other reason, if it has been more than 90 days since it expired.

How Online Number Displays on Mobiles

I've recently started using an online number with some relative success. However I'm getting mixed results on how it displays.
In 3 seperate tests (to the same mobile phone!) it's just appeared as +44 161... 044161... and just 0161... which is exactly how I'd like it to display.
Any idea on where there's a difference and if they're is any way to fix it down to one style?

I bought two online numbers using one account. How can I setup one of them to another account?
Currently, you can't. Because if you were to for example call forward one the other one would call forward as well. All Online Numbers Share the same voicemail as well.
That said, it is possible using the public API to do this using a 3rd party program, but the Skype clients cannot do this on their own.
I personally don't know of anything that does this automatically by Online Number.

Possible fraudulant phone number from Apple online store.

Just wondering if anyone in the Apple community has had experience with fraudulent phone numbers from the Apple online store. The number in question is 1 800 506 3096 with a person named Michael with ext "1111015" needing to verify an iPhone purchase from placed by my father. Only thing is my father has never owned an Apple product and really doesn't even know how to order things online. My parents checked their credit statements and found no purchases so no identity was compromised.

It was a message left on my parents home phone, the man named Michael left the number and his ext in the message saying he needed to confirm details about a new iPhone purchase placed by my father.
-Update to the situation, my mother called the actual online store number the 1 800 my apple, spoke to a supervisor asking about this number that called them, the supervisor said he would call the number himself, after on hold for a minute or two he came back and said himself that the number was an actual apple online number. I seriously doubt it because I Googled the 1 800 506 3096 number and came across numerous posts saying they got a call from a Michael asking to confirm details about a purchase.

Online Number enables you to receive calls from phones: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA331/What-is-an-Online-Number
If you are not expecting to receive any calls from landline or mobile phones to your Skype account then you don't have to buy it
