I get a Skype number in Australa and have my calls forwarded to the Canadian mobile number?
Hello
Yes you can.
You will need (a) an Australian Skype Number and (b) an Unlimited USA/Canada Subscription @$2.99/month or some Skype Credit to fund the cost of the forwarded calls.

Skype number forwarding to mobile costing to much each receiving call??

Hi, I brought a skype number, I only want to use it for receiving incoming calls.. I do not wish to call anyone on my skype number.. But I've been having to buy credit a few times now because each time someone calls my skype number & i have it so it forwards to my mobile phone it's costing me to much ? Is there a cheaper way I can have my Skype number & receive incoming calls forwarded to my mobile phone? When I answer not on Skype, iPhone mobile phone number I pick the call from?? I subscribed to something I thought was it but I was rong because I still have no credit to receive calls to my mobile phone?
Can someone help me please ?

Hey, Mell.johns
Welcome to the Skype Community!
To better understand your inquiries, let me re-word your questions and then attempt to answer it.
Q: Is there a cheaper way to receive incoming calls from my Skype Number on my mobile phone?
A: Sure, you can answer calls from your iPhone for no additional charge by using Skype for iPhone! Sign in and your calls will ring there at the same time your computers signed onto Skype would!
Q: When I'm not on Skype, can I pick the call up from my iPhone mobile number?
A: Yes, but that requires Skype Credit or a calling subscription for calling out. Again, picking up from the iPhone app won't cost you more.
If these questions & answers do not satisfy you, please attempt to re-explain your questions in further detail so that we could try this again!

Cannot get my own skype number

I try to get a Skype number but keep gettling logged out. I get to pick my number and then when I press the number I get logged out and have to do the process again. However I get to choose the number and Skype registers that but now when I try yo Activate it I get logged out again. On top of this I cannot verify my own mobile number either - I get "An internal error has occurred" Pretty buggy website Skype

Hi, Riviera_Elite, and welcome to the Community,
I have arranged to merge your questions into a single thread, which we usually do not do as you did the right thing by asking about your Skype Number order and your mobile number verification issue separately, however I suspect both issues may be related in your case.
Please remember that our Community Guidelines state that our Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service.
If you prefer not to wait, here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.
Will return with more information when I have news.
Update: Please change the password on the account you are using to set up your new Skype Number subscription, and then try the process of activating the subscription and validating your mobile number again, using a different web browser than you customarily use.

Can I forward my UK mobile calls to a Skype Number...

Hi
I am moving to France for 6 mths and want to forward all UK mobile calls to a Skype number. I want to know will my clients realise I am abroad? will there be a foreign ring tone and will they get charged a premium rate?
Ideally I want them to call my mobile and seamlessly be transfered to my skype number and not be charged any extra.
Do I need to buy a UK or French Skype number?
Any help of comments would be most useful.

Skype number not working / long forwarding times

Dear Team,
my skype number is not working although I allowed everyone to call in my privacy settings. This has been happening quite often and now it is already down all day.
I put it on forwarding to my mobile number for now, but although i set the time to forwarding to one 2nd, it takes 20 seconds or so until my phone rings. Is this normal?
Can you please help me fix this. And please don't send me the customer service link with which i should click my way through. I tried many times to "click find" my answer. I hope a discussion with a human being helps.
Best,
Joerg

Hi, Maxchina, and welcome to the Community,
My hands are tied - you asked not to be provided with instruction how to contact Skype Customer Service - which you would have to click your way through - and which I would normally recommend you do just to double-check nothing is awry with your Skype Number.
Our Community Guidelines do explain that this Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service; no customer service agents monitor the posts here. We here in the Community are not authorized to access Skype accountholder files or records.
As far as the delay in forwarding, have you tried to set your "number of rings" setting in your client software settings to "0" (zero)? Sometimes that does the trick.
Kind regards,
Elaine

Skype number "inactive" in mobile app

I purchased a Skype number, but the mobile app shows it as Inactive. The Online profile shows my Skype number as being paid for. How do I refresh or update the app to reflect the online account status for the phone number?

Credit or a subscription is required for call forwarding or outbound calling. Standard inbound calls consume no credit or subscription. The people calling you still have to pay the standard rate it costs to call the Skype number from their phone (billed by their phone provider) similar to you having to pay for your Internet/Data plan bill to use Skype on your phone.

Skype Number, credit and forwarding when online

Hi all,
I have a few questions relating to the Skype Number, which I recently bought.
The main purpose for me using the Skype number is to receive business calls and have them forwarded to my mobile. I have a small business, and want to appear as if I had a landline number.
Here are my queries:
1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
Cheers,
Fabrizio

1) Can I have call forwarding on at all times, even if I am logged in to Skype?
- If you have set-up call forwarding in Skype, call forwarding status will be set when you're offline in Skype. Calls can also be forwarded when you're online if the call was not answered after a number of rings.
2) Does it cost to forward calls to my mobile?
- If you use Skype Credit as a payment method, the forwarded calls will be charged at the Skype’s great pay per minute rates. For example, if you forward your incoming Skype calls to a mobile number in the United States, you’ll be charged exactly what it costs to call a mobile in the United States from Skype.
3) If so, is there a specific plan I can get to pay a flat rate?
- You can also purchase a subscription for calls to a country where you want to receive the forwarded calls. For example, if you want your incoming Skype calls to be forwarded to a number in the United States, simply choose a subscription covering calls to the United States.
No matter which payment method you prefer, the person who’s calling you on Skype will still call you for free.

Calls not being forwarded to skype number

Hello, I have had my Skype number for 2 years now and never had a problem.However since end of November 2012 calls from the USA are no longer being forwarded to my cellphone in Germany.No , I have not changed my settings , why should I , since it has been working perfectly all these years.There is no way to get help from Skype and I am extremely frustrated with their service.It sucks to pay for a product that won´t work.I am a dissatisfied customer and will leave them if they do not straighten out their stuff.

Hello, I have been a SKYPE user for the past 5 years and everything has been working fine. Recently, calls from telephones to my skype number are not being forwarded to my designated number. I've tried to turn off and on forwarding feature but still not working. Calls from other skype contacts using skype calling me are forwarded but not from any landline or mobile contacts calling my skype number.
What happens when you call your Online Number?
If calls directly from other Skype users are being forwarded to your designated number, but not the calls made to your Online Number, call-forwarding appears to be working. You may have a different issue related to your Online Number. Has it expired? If you click on "Account" at the top of this page, you can verify that your Online Number is still in effect by clicking on "Online Number" once you log into your Skype account through that link.
If your Online Number is still in effect, here's something else to check. From a computer (not the Skype app on a mobile phone or other device), can you verify the Privacy setting for Online Numbers? It should be set to allow calls from anywhere. If not, it is possible that this setting was changed, preventing you from getting calls on the Online Number.

Skype number and its forwarding

That is the tricky part. Skype does not permit a trial for Skype Numbers or to test call forwarding. What to do?! I would start with a shorter term Skype Number subscription, for the minimum term (as I type this, I can not remember if that is one month or three months), and see how it goes. If the service works for your business, you can renew the subscription for a longer term when the shorter subscription expires at the end of its term.

Re: Skype Number, subscriptions and forwarding whe...

I have a similar question to Fabrizio. I am setting up a small business. I primarily live in Australia but will be travelling a bit.
My understanding is that if I have a Skype number (which appears more professional and as if I have a land line), the caller will not be charged and that those charges will be charged to me.
Am I better to have a subscription and is there any difference in the call charges that are charged?
Also, if I understand correctly, if I travel to, say, Italy, often, I would get a Skype number for Italy. Both the Australian and the Italian Skype numbers would have country prefixes - is that correct?

Can I designate my Skype number as my mobile number for SMS replies?

Hi, expertvillage, and welcome to the Community,
I'm wondering whether you are referring to transferring your subscription, or forwarding a number ... so here are two different answers:
Skype subscriptions are active for specific terms or lengths of time. If you no longer need the New Jersey number, cancel the subscription and start a new Skype Number for New York. Skype does not permit transfers of anything, be it credit, subscriptions, or call features from one account to another. Splitting a subscription by changing a number is not possible, either.
You may forward the New Jersey Skype Number to the new New York Skype Number. Here's how: https://support.skype.com/en/category/CALL_FORWARDING/
Hope I covered all scenarios!

Elaine

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!

Forwarding no longer works for my Skype number

My business relies on my Skype phone number forwarding to my cell phone, and then to my Google Voice for voicemail. In the last few days, it's been brought to my attention by clients that the phone rings 12 times and then gives a fast busy signal. I tested tonight and got the same results. I went through all the troubleshooting guides and can find nothing wrong. The number is 310-574-2804, if anyone wants to test it. Trying to get this resolved by tech support, but I guess they would rather pawn their support off to the community... Help me out, everyone!
Thanks,
George

Skype Number Not Forwarding

My MX local skype number is active, current on billing and the forward is setup to a US (Dallas, TX) landline. The forward is not working properly and going to a message saying the number is inactive. The direct US landline number is working properly. Any suggestions?

I wish I could edit my prior notes so I did not need to add comment to it as a reply to myself. Anyway, I updated the forwarding number in my Skype and put a Canadian number, and that is not working either. I thought the problem might be for an Iranian number but call forwarding not working for a Canadian number as well. So Skype simply sent me an email saying you have a voice mail (since I has not online connected to Skype).
Please help

Forwarding displays SKYPE number incorrectly

We use a skype number to forward to our landline phone. Until recently, when someone called the number, the originating caller id was shown on the receiving phone (correctly).
Recently, the caller ID we see when someone calls is a generic Bakersfield CA number (661-380-4773 is an example).
How do i get the original caller's caller ID to display on the destination phone??

I'm having similar recent issues, have you had any luck solving this?
