Receiving calls via Skype Online Number

I understand that I pay £10 for 3 months to set this up.
I understand that callers pay for a local call (so long as they're close to that local number)
I do NOT understand if I pay to receive each call and if so, how much?

Please don't post the same question(s) multiple times.  Thanks!

    Can I receive sms messages to my my Skype Online Number, pls?

    No, you can't receive SMS messages on a Skype Online Number. 
    You can set up a mobile number as your Skype Caller ID settings, which would show as the sender for your SMS messages.  Then the recipients would have a way to reply to your SMS messages sent from Skype, back to a mobile phone instead of your Skype account.  This would work for mobile numbers from most countries, except for mobile numbers from Japan and Mexico.

  • Receiving texts on skype online number

    Can we receive text messages (sms) on skype online numbers?

    No.  Skype's Online Numbers are not capable of receiving SMS messages. 
    If you want to provide a way for people to reply to your SMS messages, you can use the Caller ID settings and configure a mobile number to appear on your SMS messages sent from Skype.  This requires Skype to send two SMS messages to your mobile number, which would be paid for with Skype Credit.  Once the mobile number is verified, it will be shown as the sender for your SMS messages from Skype.  This is available for mobile numbers in most parts of the world, excliding mobile numbers in Japan and Mexico.

  • Help - Skype Online number

    I have registered a online number for hong kong and my parent can't see my phone number when I call them, aswell my parents can't call me with that skype number. Could anyone help me please?

    There are two issues at work here - your Caller ID settings in Skype, and whether or not your number can be passed along to your parents' phone. 
    First thing... have you configured your Caller ID settings in Skype?  When you purchase Skype's Online Numbers, they do not automatically become your Caller ID.  You have to log into your account and set that up.  You can do that here on the Skype web site, using the "Account" link at the top of the page.  Note that not all of Skype's Online Numbers can be used as Caller ID.  I don't know about Hong Kong numbers, but those in the USA and UK can be used - and numbers in Australia and Mexico can't be used. 
    Even if you have set up Caller ID on your Skype account, there is still a possibility your number won't show up on your parents' phone.  This is out of Skype's control, as Skype works with partner companies in different countries to patch Skype calls into the telephone networks. 
    Next issue... receiving calls on your Online Number.  First, you will need to make sure your Privacy settings are set up to allow calls from anywhere on your Online Number.  I don't think this is accessible from the Skype web site, so use a Skype program on a computer to verify this.  If you are also using an Apple i-device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), you may also need to add the Skype app to the Notifications Center in the Settings menu.  Otherwise, the Skype app only rings when it is up on your device's screen.

  • Forwarding cell phone number to skype online numbe...

    Is it possible to forward cell phone number to skype online number?  If so, what do I need to do to set it up?  Also, would my carrier (T-Mobile) charge me minutes for forwarded calls? Thanks.
    Solved!

    Maybe.  Your phone should have settings to set forwarding for all calls to your T-Mobile number. If you enable that, your T-Mobile phone won't ring anymore, but you could still use your phone to make calls and for sending/receiving SMS or MMS messages. 
    If you are asking about forwarding calls when the mobile phone is on but you don't answer the phone, instead of those calls going to a T-Mobile voicemail system, you *may* be able to change that.  T-Mobile doesn't let you do that on a prepaid phone, and that appears to be the same if you use some other prepaid services that ride on T-Mobile's network like Straight Talk. It may be possible on a postpaid plan (one where you get a monthly invoice to pay). 
    As for what T-Mobile would charge, you'd have to check on your plan or contact T-Mobile.  Some plans have unlimited calling that includes call-forwarding, others only provide for a certain number of minutes for call-forwarded calls a month, and then there are some "plans" that make you pay for anything that is call-forwarded from your T-Mobile number.  The T-Mobile web site may be able to help answer that, or a call to their customer service number will need to be made.
    Good luck!

  • Skype online number working status in UAE

    Hi,
    As you already know that UAE lifted the ban on Skype, Please let me know that If I have USA online on skype will it work in UAE if some one call me over Skype online number.
    Thanks 

    Hi will_hulse
    I had exactly the same problem and just chatted to a Skype Customer Service agent for about half an hour where they made me jump through incredible trobleshooting hoops that any trained money would know was not addressing the real issue. Eventually they admitted that you cannot use 00 to replace the + when calling a Skype number from a landline or mobile. My Skype number works fine if I make the call to it from within the Skype dialler but not from other phones dialling to that number Internationally. Also on my iphone I held down the 0 to produce the + sumbol and typed in the rest of my Internationa number and even that didn't work. This is a pretty horrendous major issue and I believe that anyone who has paid for a Skype number that needs to receive calls to it from overseas needs to be reimbursed or this issue MUST be fixed immediately. It's completely crazy and unnaceptable. Quite a con!

  • Geting a skype online number

    I would like to get a cordless skype phone but I dont know how it works for getting my phone number after. Preferably, I would like to keep my last home phone number.  Can I choose my phone number or skype will get one for me?  I tried to get a online number but I can't since it is not available in Canada.
    Thank you for your answer.
    Francis

    Hello,
    A Skype Number is an ordinary number that you can use for receiving calls on Skype from mobiles and landlines, even from people who are not on Skype.
    Skype Numbers for German users are usually activated in 14 days. You can check your Skype Number by signing in your account to Skype website and click Skype Number block under Manage features.
    When you purchase a Skype Number, we need you to provide us with your details such as contact information and address. In certain countries, including Germany, you also need to provide a proof of residence that is verified by the local authorities. If the verification is successful, we will get in touch with you soon after to confirm the activation of your Skype Number. If the verification is not successful, the activation of the Skype Number can fail.
    If you’ve already been charged for your Skype Number and it is not activated within 14 days, you can click the link below to contact Skype Customer Support and one of our support representatives will be happy to help you get a refund for your payment:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/
    After you’ve received a refund, you can try again to purchase a Skype Number. To successfully pass the verification process, make sure that all your details are correct. The verification process is handled by the local German authorities.
    I hope this helps.

  • My Skype Online Number is not working

    Bought a skype online number in UK last week, it works fine for two days then that's it, now it is telling callers " the person you are trying to reach is not available leave a message after the tone". Is this some kind of fraud or what. I tried calling the number while I am sitting in front of the PC sign on, still no show. I am highly disappointed, because the purpose of the number has been defeated.  Skype is a bloody joke. May be I should just stick with the free services.

    See this thread: http://community.skype.com/t5/Online-Number/Fact-Online-Numbers-Are-Broken/td-p/774814
    In short, "yes it is some kind of fraud". If you paid with a credit card I suggest you file a dispute with the credit card company to get a refund, because trying to get a refund issued by Skype personnel for a service you paid for that they fail to provide is like pulling teeth. Since the only people you can actually contact are tech support folks in the Philippines who have no access to any of Skype's servers or cash flow, it's actually like trying to pull teeth from someone who doesn't even have any teeth.

  • Make a call with an Online number?

    Can you make a call if you have an online number or can you only recieve calls with an online number?  What I mean by this is that can you make a domestic call without paying any additional money if you already have an online number.

    With an online number, you only can receive calls from the country you chose.

  • More than One Skype Online Number

    I have a US online number and wanted to know if I can set up an Australian online number on the same skype account?

    geleotec wrote:

    Yes, you can add an Australian Online Number to your Skype account.  You can add up to 10 Online Numbers on a single Skype account.  I have numbers from the USA and Australia, along with two other places (Mexico and the UK). 
    Note that if you want to handle calls to the Australian number differently than calls to your US number (i.e., use different settings if forwarding calls from each Online Number), you would want to establish a second Skype account and put the Australian number there.  Otherwise, if you are happy to use the same call-forwarding settings for both numbers, you can do that with your existing account.  Just log into your account on the Skype web site, go to the section for Skype (Online) Numbers, and purchase the Australian number. 
    For Australia, numbers are available for Canberra, the mainland state capitals, and other areas outside the capitals of the 3 eastern states (Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria).  Numbers are currently unavailable for Tasmania, the Northern Territory, and other areas outside Adelaide in South Australia and Perth in Western Australia.  Numbers would be considered landline numbers, and use the landline area codes for those locations - 03 xxxx xxxx in Melbourne, 02 xxxx xxxx in Sydney, etc.

  • No meaning to get skype online number

    No meaning to get skype online number, i subscribed for whole year online number, but the online number doesn't work most of the time, I am very upset, disappointed, and my friends are also very upset, angry and worry when they can't find me through the online number i bought, i am too busy to complain the quality, but now I need to voice this BIG BIG PROBLEM. I am using android reception Orange . Skype has to compensate me!!
    Also if I am out and call my other country friends from my mobile through Skype, most of the time the sound quality is very very bad, they can't hear my words, like under the water, so what is the point i pay money to Skype !?!?

    I have the same problem, after I choose my state, the area codes are 'loading' but none are displayed in the drop down menu. I tried this a few days ago as I was exploring this option and phone numbers for my area code were shown. So,  a  temporary glitch?
