Purchasing a skype number for a staff member worki...

I am currently working from remotely from an office overseas from my head office.  My administrator in Canada has tried to buy me a local number so I can be contactable while I am here, but because our company is registered in Canada, apparently this is not possible.
However, I previously worked for another company where they had numbers registered all over the world for their staff.  
I am currently in Japan and my company is in Canada. Is there some specific limitations for Japan that don't exist elsewhere?

The problem is that a "Skype Number" is not available in Canada.  See the sticky post above for details and a possible work-around:

  • I bought another skype number for a family member ...

    I have 2 skype numbers now because I can't figure out how to assign the other one I just bought, to a family member. Do I need to cancel that and start over?

    Hi, Patzycakes, and welcome to the Community,
    As a matter of fact, yes: Skype Numbers are associated with the account under which the subscription was started.  Skype does not permit Skype Numbers or any other subscription, or credit, to be transferred from one account to another.
    So, the best thing to do would be to cancel the number you do not need, contact customer service to explain the situation and to request a refund , and start a new Skype Number using the Skype account for the family member you wish to have a Skype number.   You or they should use their own payment method -- the Skype anti-fraud filters will catch your credit card being used for more than one account, and bar the payment; as a security measure, you may find your own account becomes suspended!
    All that said, if the family member does not use Skype and have their own account, that presents another wrinkle.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • When will Skype number for Louisiana (318) be avai...

    I have tried unsuccessfully for two months to purchase a Skype number for area code 318 (Shreveport area).  Whenever I select Louisiana, there are no area codes listed.
    When will more numbers be available?
    Is there any way I can get a 318 number?

    Skype numbers are based on availability which can be due to contracts and whether a particular country authorizes Skype numbers to exist in their country.  If Skype is unable to obtain numbers in a particular country, I highly doubt there is much than can be done.

  • Getting and setting up a Skype number for all memb...

    Hi,
    I am an administrator for our company Skype Manager account and have been allocated a Skype business account. I want to get a skype number for our company to allow external contacts to be able to call us via landlines and mobiles.
    What do I need to do to get a skype number and set it up so that any member of our team can  receive external calls on it and answer them ?

    Hi _onz,
    Something I did several years ago (before I had Muse) when my wife began her jewelry business was create a website in the traditional way (at that time using Fireworks and Dreamweaver), but rather than have people buying directly from her site, there was a link to her Etsy shop. She could personalize the Etsy shop as much as she wanted, add/subtract jewelry on the fly, etc.
    There are some good e-commerce solutions out there. One that looks promising is Shoplocket. You can check it out here at MuseThemes.
    To your point about a lack of quality tutorials, I somewhat agree. The ones Adobe provide, albeit free, are more hit and miss. I've had better luck at Lynda.com where they offer video courses on the various software. Of course, they're not free, but for $25/mo. I've gotten a lot of value from them.
    Good luck!

  • Skype Number for the Channel Islands

    I am new to Skype and am trying to get a Skype number but am unable to get one as I live in the Channel Islands, least it looks that way, is there anyway around this? I would like to use skype to contact my mum who lives in SA via Video maybe I do not need a number, sorry if all these statements seem rather random!

    Hi, telephony in the Channel Islands is complex. The Channel Islands are part of the British Isles but not part of the UK (Isle of Man is same too).
    These offshore islands still use the +44 UK internatinal prefix, but when phoning from the UK by either landline or mobile the calls are classified as international and a premium is applied. This charge is particularly hefty from mobile networks and can be as much as 70p/min (T-mobile). UK telecom providers no longer include calls to offshore islands in their UK inclusive call bundles, however Channel Island providers do include calls to the UK in their inclusive bundles.
    The good thing about Skype is that it doesn't differentiate between offshore islands and the UK, you get charged for the same +44 rate which currently stands at 1.7p/min to landlines and 5.8p/min mobiles on PAYG. The rates are even better in bundles.
    You have several choices, you can video chat with your mother in SA for free via Skype provided she's on Skype and is able to use a PC or mobile device. You could buy a UK Skype number for people to contact you on or you could buy a SA number on Skype so friends and family in SA could keep in touch with you at local call rates.
    If you buy a Skype subscription (bundle of calls) first, you then get a 50% discount on a Skype number purchase which is well worthwhile.

  • One skype number for multiple users in Skype Manag...

    Is it possible to get one Skype-in phone number and assign it to multiple members in Skype Manager?
    If so, how do I go about it?
    I also asked this here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Skype-Number/One-skype-number-for-multiple-users-in-Skype-Manager/m-p/...

    You could always allocate a number to multiple business accounts in Skype Manager. Then re-direct the number via IP-PBX to go to different extensions.
    Try the following here [If you look in the advanced section of this manual, you'll see an example of two accounts using one number]
    http://download.skype.com/share/business/guides/skype-connect-user-guide.pdf
    7.5 Online Numbers for incoming calls
    You can use both business Skype accounts and Online Numbers simultaneously on a
    single SIP Profile if you wish. In other words, you may have multiple business accounts
    and Online Numbers added to one SIP Profile at the same time.

  • Why can't I get a Skype Number for Canada?

    Why can't I get a Skype number for Canada?
    Post transferred to create its own new thread.
    Subject/title amended accordingly.

    Hi, Davidann, and welcome to the Community!
    I arranged to transfer your post here to the Features: Skype Number message board as your enquiry is not related specifically to the BlackBerry Z10.  If you type the words "Skype Number for Canada" in the Search the Community search box appearing at the upper right corner of this website page, you will find a plethora of threads (topics) related to this issue.
    The short story is this is due to a regulatory issue in Canada.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

    You can search Google, eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist to find an old version of iWork for a PPC Mac. Probably needs to be iWork 6 or earlier.

  • Skype number for Canada

    I live in Ontario, Canada. I'm trying to set up a skype number for Canada, but it wont let me.
    How do I get a number for my area code?

    Hi, CanadianSkype, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, Skype Numbers are not available in Canada.  I understand from Canadian Super User Neil and Moderator NormanM that this is due to a regulatory restriction.

  • How can I pay for skype number for one year

    How can I pay for skype number for one year? 

    Hi, Orzo.Coffee, and welcome to the Community,
    I realize what I am about to write sounds a bit weird: to change the term of a Skype Number subscription, we need to permit it to expire, or in other words, reach the end of its term.  Your Skype Number will be held on account for you for 90 days following the expiration date, so you can sign in even on the same day you receive the e-mail stating your Skype Number subscription has expired, to reinstate the subscription and change the term.
    I had to ensure I had enough credit on account so my renewal would process successfully; if you plan to renew for a year and use credit for your payment method, remember to add enough credit to cover the cost of the annual subscription.  You could also change your payment method at the time you reinstate/renew your Skype Number subscription.
    Make sense?
    Kind regards,
    Elaine
