Re: Skype To Go -- Domestic Calls

I live in USA and am thinking about setting up skype to go numbers for US domestic
numbers.  I have AT&T for unlimited local call and also have unlimited US & Canada 
plan with Skype.  Does it cost me more than what I am paying now?  Please help.

Hello,
If your cellphone is not Skype enabled the only extra cost would be a short call to your local SkypeToGo # to set up a call to your contact. Your Unlimited USA/Canada Plan will operate within your STG set up and provide free calls.
If your cellphone is Skype enabled there would be no additional cost.

  • Skype To Go -- Domestic Calls

    Hello, Skype Support Network. I am researching Skype To Go for an article and have an odd question -- what happens if I enter a local/domestic number as a Skype To Go contact? Can you use the service to make calls that are local to you, or only to make international calls? Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Yes you can. You can call almost anywhere in the world using SkypeToGo (including you next door neighbor!)

  • Illegal use of my skype number to make calls

    Can anyone use your Skype number to make calls?  I had a return call today from someone I do not know and they were returning a call they said I made earlier today and this person had my Skype number correctly. How can someone, or anyone for that matter, use my Skype number to make calls?  Is there a way to stop that? Anyone with an answer, please respond.

    Well, as I mentioned before, if it's a HH2 and the rear of it is in view of the public, then every Thomas, Richard and Harry will be able to see the wireless key and make full use of the Internet.
    Hi.
    Although possible, that's not entirely true. If the user has altered the wireless key, then viewing the back of the hub will not help
    But how many out there in BT land actually do change it?
    BT only prompt the user to change the default admin password if and when they first access the hub.
    At least BT thought about the label design on the HH3, keeping it hidden until needed.
    I reckon hardly anyone would change the wireless key to be honest , but I wonder how many leave them in a window ...

  • Skype recording messages and calls?

    Salutations. So today I'm going to confront you with a hypothesis I've composed. Back before Skype had been bought from Microsoft, they had recorded calls and messages and stored them away. Those mentioned things would get run through their system. I've been suggested to use a proxy or an anonymizer. I don't know what either of these are, may I have an elaboration on them? But to return to the man topic and cease the digression, here are a few examples to support my theory.
    ( (flag:gb) Loving you. \u003cS )
    And here is the second example:
    ( (flag:gb) already; )
    This is it. It seems logical, but if you have another reasonably theory, or if you think I'm just wrong, why don't you post what you think and the reason for it. I'm always hoping for some help on understanding. Please and thank you.

    first, i'm not sure what those examples are and why do you think that they may prove Skype are recording Skype messages and calls.
    with regard to messages, or let us term them as chat histories, Skype may retain them in their database for a certain period of time for certain purposes.  I'm not a natural English speaker, but in my own opinion, there is a big difference between being retained and being recorded (at leas in terms of the purpose).
    "12. HOW LONG IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA KEPT BY SKYPE?
    Skype will retain your information for as long as is necessary to: (1) fulfill any of the Purposes (as defined in article 3 of this Privacy Policy) or (2) comply with applicable legislation, regulatory requests and relevant orders from competent courts.
    Retention of Instant Messages (Skype internet communications software application only)
    Your instant messaging (IM) communications content may be stored by Skype (a) to convey and synchronise your messages and (b) to enable you to retrieve your IM history where possible. IM history messages will be stored for a maximum of 30 days unless otherwise permitted or required by law. Skype will at all times take appropriate technical and security measures to protect your information. By using this product, you consent to the storage of your IM communications as described above."
    On the other hand, there should be no reason for Skype to record your calls and video calls.  Basically, I think they have no use for it and will get nothing from it.  In addition, recording conversations will require additional resources, storage devices in particular in where the "recorded" calls will be saved.  For a messenger with around 10-20 million (or more users) at any given time, just imagine the amount of space it will require to save your Skype calls and video calls (and assuming that they will get nothing from it).
    Moreover, there may be indeed ways to record calls and video calls, but it can be done by using third party software and can be done by Skype users to other Skype users only.

  • Is skype secure for video calling? After the purch...

    I am concerned because i use skype regularly but i call my family and my very close friend. So is it true that skype calling is not private anymore as goverment monitors or microsoft/skype itself watch or listen to the conversation . And is there any truth in that skype leaks eroctic video chat to porn sites??

    Hi,
    Skype calls are safe and we do not listen to your conversations. 
    We also do not leak erotic video chats to porn websites so as long as the other party doesn't choose to record the chat and upload it somewhere, you should be safe!
    Thanks,

  • Skype's Click-to-call crashing & clashing with web...

    Hi,
    I'm working on implementing a WYSIWYG editor to one of my sites. Sadly, Skype's Click-to-call plugin wreaks havoc with it (tested on Chrome).
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Load Chrome with Click-to-call installed.
    2. Go to http://jsfiddle.net/gabito/jnSPf/6/
    3. Starting typing some text in the right window and observe how the browser crashes and the height of the textarea is completely wrong (since node.offsetHeight and node.clientHeight are both being returned as 0).
    4. Disable Click-to-call, reload the same page and watch how it all works nicely.
    The code that's causing the crash with Skype is adding an element to the DOM, measuring it for resize and removing it again. Whilst this isn't the most efficient code, it shouldn't cause the browser to crash like this, and it doesn't unless Skype Click-to-Call is installed. Since Skype is a popular plugin that many users will have installed, this presents a problem for us.

    Hi Claudius,
    Firstly, thanks for the reply.  I too am using Chrome 24 and Skype Click to Call 6.6.
    The crashing doesn't seem to occur every time but happens often enough to be worrying. Basically, try refreshing the page and typing some text into the box on the bottom right window (where the image is placed).
    The other issue which I mentioned - the size of the text box being measured wrong - occurs every time without fail.
    Without Skype: (i.e. how it should look)
    With Skype (height calculated incorrectly):
    This is the message when it crashes:
    To clarify: there are no other extensions enabled when reproducing this error, other than Click-to-Call.

  • Skype wont let me call anyone

    Whenever I try to call anyone, it gives me the "connecting" message, then it just quits the call entirely, though I can still message people just fine. This problem appeared a few days ago when I was in a call withmy friend, until my internet suddenly stopped working (It does this every once and a while), but instead rejoining the call when my internet came back on, It now quits the call immediately. Is there any way to fix this? I've reinstalled skype twice already, but that didn't work as skype still quits the call.
    Note: My friend cannot call me either, but he still can call others. I am also on windows 8

    the group has 150 people in it, the participents in the call is normally under 10.
    the issue is the when i hang up, it just keeps ringing on my end and everyone elses, if i pick up im hossting again, if i ignore it and they pick up i get a bunch of voice messages and then it rings again and it just keeps going and going till i leave the group

  • Can I use Skype to go to call a Skype number?

    Hello,
    I would like to call another skype user from my mobile phone, my internet connection is not stable enough from time to time to use the skype app.
    Can I get a free Skype to go number, call this number and get connected to a skype number? Or is it for landline and mobile numbers only?
    Thank you and greetings!

  • Skype Number and Recieving Calls

    Hello,
    I wanted to know once I have a Skype Number, and someone calls me, do I pay any additional cost for the phone call besides the 18 dollars for the number if the person I am talking to is in the United States and the Skype Number is a US number?

  • My Skype subscription for India calling is not wor...

    Hi, I recently purchased Skype India calling for 2500min/month subscription. My problems are listed below;
    1. The subscription is unfortunately not working at all. I tried on couple of mobile numbers, its sometimes connecting but no voice. Only one time I was able to connect to land line number and the voice was OK, but still not so good clarity.
    2. I am not able to use this subscription feature in my Android mobile (Galaxy S4), to call mobile numbers or land line number are not possible at all my Skype mobile.
    Please help me find a solution for it. My normal Skype video and voice calls are working fine in my Laptop and also in my Android mobile but the subscription is not working. If there is no solution or official communication I have to cancel subscription, why should I unnecessarily pay to Skype.
    Any suggestion or help is appreciated greatly.

    Hello,
    The fault is almost certainly with the local Indian carrier used to terminate the call and not Skype. (All Skype calls travel via the internet and only convert to PSTN/Cellular networks at a point close to the recipient's phone). The fact that your Skype-to-Skype calls are trouble-free demonstrates the point. You can also check by placing a free call to the Skype Call Testing Service (echo123).
    First of all thanks for your reply and also you mentioned something PSTN/Cellular network etc etc how the Skype is working. But look here my problem is why this is happening, the subscription name itself India calling then Skype should be able to tieup or catch up with the local Indian carrier, isn't it? How do I know that the local carrier is supporting or not? I need a solution not the reason, yeah it is good to know the reason but what I will do with the reason here; it is beyond my doing. If this is the genuince reason for the failure then Skype is making false statement and fooling around the customers saying you can call Indian Mobile and land lines by this subscription, which is clearly not happening.
    Please let me know if there is anything can be done on this issue, yours time and effort is appreciately greatly.

  • Display Skype Number on Forwarded Calls

    First, I have a Skype Number and I pay for a Skype Premium account. My Skype Account stays forwarded most of the time to another phone.
    When someone calls my Skype Number and it forwards to phone, I would like my Skype Number to be displayed on my phone as the Caller ID. Is this possible?
    Thanks,
    Mark 

    technically it would be a violation of Skype terms and conditions for three users to use the same Skype account, but a call to a shared Skype Name will ring, more or less simulataneously, on all Skype clients where this Skype Name is signed in
    but it IS possible to forward any unanswered call to as many as three other Skype Names at the same time -- ringing stops when one of those users answers the incoming call, and it does not matter if they are already in a call (essentially Skype has built-in Call Waiting capability)
    these users can each have their own calling subscription, and it sounds like Unlimited Europe would be a likely candidate -- whether you administer these accounts under Skype Manager is up to you, and the main consideration will likely be whether you want to fund the subs centrally, or let each user expense the services separately

  • SKYPE PREMIUM CHARGES WHEN CALLING MOBILES

    Hi,
    I have skype premium with unlimited calls to mobiles and landlines phones to France.
    However, I am still getting charged when calling cellphones (I am getting charged on my skype credit)
    Here is my skype name: jonathan.quirin1
    You guys claim that by getting skype premium I have unlimited calls (mobile and landlines) toward any of the country in the list.
    Why am I still getting charged?

    If Hungary is your selected country for telephone calling with Skype Premium, the subscription only covers calling to landline phones.  Click on "Skype Premium" below and then expand the list of countries you can choose from when calling telephones.  Only 4 countries have calling for both landline and mobile phones covered (USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore). 
    You would need to either purchase Skype Credit or a country-specific subscription that also covers calling to mobile phones in that case (click on "Subscriptions" below to see the options for Hungary, or other countries).  When using Skype Credit to pay for calls to telephones, there is a connection fee charged per call along with the per-minute rate.  This is detailed on the "Pay As You Go" link below.
