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 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?

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.

Receiving sms to skype phone number

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to receive SMS texts to your skype phone number? I have a phone number associated with my skype account and would like to send as well as receive to this number.

This does not work for me.
I am on Skype 5.7.0.1130 for the Mac.
In the Skypereferences . . . :Messaging windoid.
I click on the "Set Number..." dropdown menu and type in my mobile phone number. I keep getting the message that "Error on sending code to mobile phone" etc.
Now -- perhaps this is my issue, I have a brand new Skype mobile phone number for Germany. So new that I just got it two days ago. I was expecting to be able to send and receive text messages on this -- primarily from my bank and places like that which send you secret codes to your SMS when you are trying to log in. Does this work? Can it work? Why is it so hard to actually talk to a Skype Customer Support person??

How use new skype online number to send sms from s...

I want to send sms to cell phones and have my new skype online number show as the sender. But, how to get the 'code' to set this up? Does not seem to be working.

This is not possible sadly, I have taken issue with this in Australia in the past. To recieve text messages you must set your sms number to your mobile phone number then verify this number by entering the code that is sent to your mobile. I am working on recieving messages on skype it is my thinking that it wold be very difficult to compete with skype as a normal telecom so they don't allow it.

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.

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!

Hello,
Skype doesn't support receiving SMS messages.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.
Please note that I generally don't respond to unsolicited Private Messages. Thank you.

Why can't I receive sms on skype?

I paid for skype credit specifically so that I could send and recieve texts. Why can't people return skype texts? I would not have paid for the service if I knew it was only for sending, since you can send text messages for free online!

You can't receive SMS messages with Skype's Online Numbers.
In most countries, these Online Numbers are either "landline" or some other special Voice-over-IP class of number, not a mobile number. If you have a mobile number set up as Caller ID with your Skype account, SMS messages can be sent from Skype and carry that mobile number as the "sender" of the message. Replies would then go to the mobile number, not to Skype.

Receiving SMS on Skype

It would be extremely wonderful if SMS can be received on Skype. I think it's quite inconvenient to be receiving SMS only on the phone while sending them from the PC or tablet.

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.

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!

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.
